.FOLPE ,PIUS XII We, the students of Lima Central Catholic, gratefully dedicate this issue of the Flame to our late Holy Father, Pope Pius Xll, who delighted to call himself the Pope of Youth. For us Seniors, our entire grade and high school education has been under the supreme jurisdiction of this great Educator. In this issue, we have gathered together some of his many thoughts about youth and our problems. We have planned our five different divisions of this Flame to show how we have tried to carry out these ideas of the Vicar of Christ in our life and education. May he rest in peace! I A OUR FACULTY PP. 5-I2 In the midst of youth, make yourselves standard-bearers, teachers, companions, make yourselves youthful with the youthful in order todraw them all to Christ, that they may feel His caress and Hisdivine embrace, get into their souls to conserve in them the flowers of innocence and virtue, and to plant there the seed of that wisdom of the way, the truth and the life, which is the light of faith. OUR SENIORS PP. I3-32. We must take the time as it is, and ours is grave, bitterly and heavily grave. It demands men who do not fear to walk over the rough paths of the present miserable eco- nomic condition and are fit to hold up those whom Prov- idence has entrusted to their care, men, finally, who in the exercise of their profession recoil from mediocrity and look to that perfection which the work of reconstruction after so great a disaster demands from everyone . OUR UNDERCLASSMEN PP. 33-50' The future belongs to youth, but to a youth who will know how to conquer itand dominate it. The presenthour, with great urgency, presents its needs to you under the form of a triple requirement: clear principles, personal courage and an unbreakable union between religlon and life. OUR ACTIVITIES PP. 5l-64 Enthusiasm and courage do not of themselves suffice, it they be not, as they should be, placed in the service ofa good and spotless cause. lt is vain to agitate, to weary yourselves, to bustle about without ever resting in God and His eternal law. You must be inspired with the con- viction that you are fighting for the truth, that you are sacrificing in the cause of truth your own taste and energies, wishes and sympathies, thatyou are fighting for the eternal laws of God, for the dignity of the human OUR ATHLETICS PP 65-8' person and for the attainment of its destiny. Sports are an efficacious antidote againsta soft and easy life, they awaken a sense of order, they serve as a test for endurance and a mastery of one's self, as well as im- parting courage without empty show or cowardice.

TO HIS PRIESTS - Permit Us, finally, to direct your attention to that which has already been quite fittingly the burden of your ministry, that is, the training and education of youth. There must be constant vigilance, not only on behalf of the children of the rich but also of the poor, and careful attention must be given that under the guidance of religion they be instructed in the truth and molded foran honestlife.
