PREFACE EACE be to you! How strange these words of Christ sound today in this afflicted world! With almost every nation on the face of the globe involved in a gigantic struggle for liberty and justice, peace indeed seems very far distant. But Christ's promise is not an idle one 3 we know that eventually that peace which the world cannot give will come, for Christ has told us so. Perhaps we, the youth of America, may be the means of once more establishing peace and freedom to the world. Already, several graduates of Catholic High have laid down their lives for their country. Countless others are serving in the armed forces, while still others are employed in governmental workshops. Women, too, have responded to their country's call by joining the anny of Red Cross Nurses or by filling vacancies left by men. These young Americans are fighting for justice, for freedom, for those ideals expressed by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution of the United States. Having been taught American ideals and the virtues of good citizenship here at Catholic High, we, the Seniors of the Class of 1942, are about to step into this whirlpool of life Thus in publishing our annual, the fifth edition of PRIDWEN, we have attempted to show how these ideals and virtues of good citizenship have been instilled through the daily activities and experiences of school life. With these Christian principles and demo- cratic ideas of government, we go forth with confidence, knowing that they will serve as beacons to point the way for us over the rocky reefs and turbulent waves of this storm- swept, chaotic world. In future years as we page from cover to cover of this book, we feel that though the monster of war, with its tragedy and horror, was ever present throughout our last year of high school, many pleasant memories and happy incidents will be recalled and relived again. l , '31

To Gur Heroes Who Have Given Their Lives for Liberty Strew loving offerings o'er the brave, Their country's joy, their countryls pride, For us their precious lives they gave, For Freedom's sacred cause they died. Long, where on glory's fields they fell, May Freedom's spotless banner wave, And fragrant tributes, grateful, tell Where live the free, where sleep the hrave. -SAMUEL F. SMITH
