DUCES CLUB Three times each week a group of tomorrow's men, tomorrow's leaders gather to pray for the blessings of peace, to pray to the Queen of Peace that they may, in the all too hazy future, carry on the work of peace which began in a tiny stable many centuries ago. Theirs is an ever recurring prayer to God, storming His high heaven to ask divine remembrance of our brothers, our fathers, our friends fighting now on the world's battlefields. N o one can tabulate the effect of their prayer. Yet who would deny that they have won untold victories on tl1e battlefields of heaven. Prayer for peace in a world at war! We dare not deny its necessity. TOP RMU-' POOFUEII, Al'lifiC8ViUCh, R- Sippel, Goetl, 1sWedile3g Dobmeier. Second. Row McGrath Zugger, Valance, Batt, Sams, McFarland. Bottom Row: Cloutiet, ondon, R.

Teamwork Insures Victory These men have been trained to act as a team, and upon the successful teamwork of thousands of these groups depends the successful conduct of a war. They get to know each other as closely as one knows a brother and the result of the spirit of camaraderie that spring up between them is the calm confidence that assures levelheadedness in combat. Common Interests Insure Mutual Understanding Life has always meant a constant living with others. And successful living of nations or individuals rest almost solely on the ability to cooperate. In the debate hall, in clubs, in plays, in journalism we have learned to appreciate the other rnan's viewpoint, to see the value of common interests, interchange of views. Upon this foundation of understanding we hope that peaceful living is built.

QUEEN L SODALITY This is our most honored organization. Its purpose is to honor our Queen, the Mother of God and to serve her other children, those with whom we live. To praise her we meet every week during the year and present our petitions before her throne. When her month comes we build a shrine and keep a constant vigil before it. And all through the month we stand at assembly and listen as one of us speaks her praises. To serve her children we have our Mite Box drives during Lent and Adventg stamps are collected to help her sons and daughters in distant corners of the worldg Christ- mas comes and our Food Baskets go to her chosen ones, the poor. A chaplain writes for religious articles and rosaries, medals, prayerbooks and magazines pour in. June comes and the year of service is done. 18
