HORIZONS L, .ET us pause for a brief moment in the swirling rush of wartime scholastic activity— and lift our eyes above the seething smoke of world turmoil. Look— student, teacher, alumni— expand your vision! ... can you see a REBORN dawn of CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISE brilliantly flooding a not-so-far-away horizon?

It must end— it will end if we strive toward that goal. Then will NEW HORIZONS open before us . . . then will the challenge of all time be cast at our feet. A world black with pain, weary of war- ring, tired of sinning, calls for a hope— a lasting message of eternal peace.

HOW MANIFOLD they will be when a time of peace has come!

To this inevitable end— this unusual dedication. A- • if a cduon
