ALEXANDER MacDONALl) DROUD as we are of the fact that many former Assumption students have donned the military uniform in service to their country, we can¬ not but be grieved when one departs from our midst, to be consumed by the hungry demon of war. Yet wars must sometimes take place, and when they do, the lives of many must be sacrificed, in order that succeed¬ ing generations may tuste the fruits of peace. Alexander .MacDonald—a former student of Assumption High School—has already given his life for that ideal. Stoker Alexander MacDonald. R.C.N.. was born at Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England, on November 30, 1918. He came to Canada in 1919, and he lived at Port Hood, Nova Scotia, until he came to Windsor in 1924. He attended St. Francis School in Sandwich until 1932. Assumption open¬ ed her doors to him the following year, and here he remained until the completion of his High School course in 1936. The Assumption Church Altar Boys can also claim him as one of their own, for he s erved Mass at Assumption Church for several years. He is still remembered by many of that Club as one whose cheerfulness was in¬ fectious, and whose witty remarks were many and appreciated. Alexander MacDonald joined the Royal Canadian Navy in the Spring of 1940, and left for Halifax in August. He was a Stoker on the R.C.S. Jervis Bay, which was torpedoed and sunk in November, 1940. The waves which covered the doomed ship also claimed his body. May his soul rest in peace. Carl Czaczkowski W HEN Assumption students returned from their Christmas holidays, they were grieved at the report that Carl Czaczkowski had passed away but a day before. Carl had died suddenly in his home in Detroit. He was buried from St. Theresa’s Church, the student body of Assump¬ tion High School being represented by Bob Ryan, Carl Hermann, Donald Besterci and Eugene Casey. Our first student Mass of the year was off¬ ered for the repose of his soul. The deceased had been a student at Assumption for a short time, but the news of his death came as a great shock and a cause of deep regret to us all. We extend our condolences to his family in their sorrow. PACK TWKNTY-FOVR

The Chapel Rose Window . . . Most beautiful in Canada — a trift of loyal alumni. Qood-Lye to you, Cj ' iadLi Y OU are going out into a world that is torn by war and strife, where men are fighting against fellow men. It is up to you to make for your¬ self a place where you can take a firm stand for your God, Country ' and all the high ideals that you have attained in these past school years. The graduates of 1941 find th emselves on the brink of a tall precipice, where one false step means the crashing down of all the hopes that they have built. Let us not have this happen. Let us all work togther in the years to come. Let us not forget the other fellow—the less fortunate. For the past school years all have worked together on that climb up the ladder to where they are now. Let that relation towards one another continue. Those school days of learning may be compared to a black misty night, where everyone is groping for that thing called knowledge. Now like the rising of the sun of the world that was in darkness, comes the graduation. That day not only signifies the ending of the era of learning, but the be¬ ginning of the era of making use of that learning. Each is equally im¬ portant. The first was successful—may the second be the same. So, good-bye to you, the class of 41, and good luck. May you enjoy life to its full extent by attaining the success that awaits you. Jerome Bette.
