A TRIBUTE TO OUR A. H. s. Bovs IN THE senvlcf Breather there a man with 1011! Jo dead, that never to himrelf loalla mid, 'tbif if my own. my native l:znd'. Annunciation boys have answered the call of their country and are in every branch of the service, in all parts of the world. We can be proud to have made their acquaintance. We are confident that the training they received at Annunciation under Rt. Rev. Monsignor O'Brien and the devoted teachers has fitted them to endure any situation. ' The Class of '43 wishes to express its deepest gratitude to these gallant soldiers. We are proud of the privilege to graduate from Annunciation their Alma Mater. We have yet to learn the meaning of our motto, No Victory without Labor , but these men have actually realized its full significance. They have given up their homes, positions and loved ones to fight for the freedom we take for granted, nothing we can do could equal this great sacrifice. From the letters Monsignor and the Sisters have received, we know how grateful these boys are for their education and moral training. We the students of their Alma Mater, want to make them feel that this combat is not in vain. . ' 1 May Gad bleu them.

JANUARY: Our newest recruits, the Freshmen, displayed their excellent training with an enlightening report on the islands of the Pacific. This program was interesting because the topic was one of current importance. FEBRUARY: A significant turning point in the battle had now been reached. The friendly skirmish between the Freshmen and the Sophomores-their annual Oratorical Con- test. The Freshmen carried off the honors. MARCH: The army needed money to support the fight in far-off lands, so our regiment assisted these gallant soldiers of Christ by sponsoring a very successful candy sale. The Senior-Junior Oratorical Contest was held. Top honors were taken by two juniors and a Senior. Each class ransomed captives from the enemy. APRIL: All the soldiers assembled to witness the final Oratorical Contest at which the winners of two previous skirmishes pitted their ability. The esteemed government officials, our Rt. Rev. Msgr. O'Brien, Rev. Wm. Crotty and Rev. Denis Shea, acted as judges. BARBARA HENNIGAN, '44 'A' M The Paladin Medal was awarded, May 18th, to Vincent Safy by the Catholic Students Mission Crusade, Crusade Castle, Cincinnati, Ohio and presented by Right Rev. Msgr. O'Brien, for his outstanding work in Mission endeavor during the scholastic year. 30
