In a few months many young men who are in their last semester of high school, will be eligible for the armed forces. For you men who have several months to help prepare for the coming day, you may ask how can I better myself and my coun- try? Let's do a little reviewing 'and make a synopsis. Have you taken any Math. or lscience? You say you havent had too much. All the branches of the Military Service use basic as well as all the more important scientific courses and every high school boy has an equal opportunity to learn their rudiments. Did you know that the govern- ment needs interpreters for use with our over-seas staffs and forces? This subject affords an excellent opportunity in civilian life to make a livelihood, as well as to aid all the lands which will need our guidance when peace is restored. If you have taken aeronautics and ROTC you are excellent ma- terial for enjoying a superiority in chances for advancement. Physical fitness is a requisite. When a person is physically fit lbs is in a good mental condition. 3 Religion is most necessary be- icause it brings the good in a man to its peak of efficiency, and he endeavors to emulate himself and ,others If you have had this training in 1Religion, Science and ROTC, you may be s1n'e you will be a success. CUB GRIDSTERS RECEIVE LETTERS Cub football letters, announced Fr. J. Logan, were awarded to the following husky freshmen: Thad McArthur, Tommy Flood, Elvin Stowell, Allan Rivers, Mike Thornton, B111 Kroff, Bob O'Larey, Bob Pavolka, Dick Messo, Joe Mil- ler, George Christnacht and Bob May.

I Christmas comes lo a sad world this year, a World which is at war. Because of this, the true significance of Christmas may he understood the better. For if we reflect on the state of affairs, and realize that this is due in great part to the fact' that the World has deserted Christ, we must learn that Without Him and His principles of Christianity, there can he no true peace. He is the Prince of Peace, Let us, then, earnestly beseech Him to extend His loving reign over all lands and all peoples, that all may kneel at the crib and learn the lessons of the Christ Child. fRev.j Henry J.
