If the Chrx txan prmclples that make our country posslble are suffxclen ly strong ln the majority of our people we may lead the wo: ld to recognize true and sound prmclples and to reahze that there ns a vast d1fference between truth and falsehood Not untxl men in hugh positions of the state and the people of that state begm to reallze the value of human personalxty and truth can there be amy local natxonal or universal harmony wzthout xt there can be no peace Fo thmk lt xmposszble to co rect such false and perverse ideas as do exlst IS only to contmue ourselves, ln error We ask How is t ln any way poss1ble Complalnmg, crxtzcxzmg and negatwe analyzing wzll accomplxsh nothlng Posihve constructlve act1on IS necessary But shall we do It over a mght mn a day or perhaps over the pe nod of a year? No By a slow but certam process there IS a posxtwe and sure mf ans One of these means IS educatxon which IS a social and not a mere mdwldual actw lty In the educatlon of the masses hes the signpost to fmal victory Wlth the completlon of h gh school an individual should have an excellent foundation whereon to buld In the graduates from hxgh school IS the hope of our natxon Ther IS also an excellent opportunity for everyone ln self education by reading readlng for a better self and for a better worker Why not read wholesome thlngs for personal advancement and for the common good ? Beszdes readmg for the sole purpose of education xt can be the hlghest type of recreation Once we get into the habxt of readmg we w111 begm to apprec1ate llfe more fully The greatest of all books of course IS the Blble a human llght considering lts hterary value and ts lnfluence for good alone there xs not greater wrxtmg ln the world The subjects are as varled as its literary forms We reallze that there IS a drlft mcreasmg rapidly away from the basic Christian fundamentals But through educatlon and continued wholesome read lng we can feel sure that this trend can be redlrected back to the principles that have made our democracy poss1ble lf an mdwxdual can have the assurance that hxs tmy but of TRUTH 15 more powerful than all the darkness of error w can easily vlsuallze the good that would result 1f a mllhon mdlvlduals could be found to multlply that TRUTH a number of tlmes Yes we must put mto practxce what we have read and what we know to be TRUE We cannot sxt ldly by possessmg TRUTH but not allowlng our friends to be sharers an It just as those wzth antx Chnstlan teachings have, with fanatical enthuslasm made xt thelr business to obtain posltlons 1n every fleld of endeavor helpful toward causing mxlhons of persons over the earth to have a false outlook on hfe, so ought we the more take some posltlve actvon to spread TRUTH and PEACE to the world by which alone xt can survive Yes, we must study and read and BE ENTHUSIASTIC In our work lf the anti Christian elements can do so much, how much more can we do who possess the Truths of Chnstxamty and have as our guide and teacher, TRUTH ITSELF Once a suffrcxent number of people reahze that falsehood IS nothmg more than the absence of truth then there IS a great hope of actxon on a large scale ln behalf of truth If the world IS in a bad condztlon, xt 15 because we are bad It can and never will be more than we are It ns upon our shoulders to see to zt that our condntlons of frnendslup and love are bettered, lt IS our grave oblxgatnon We must bring about a umversal peace or perish xn the whirlpool of error and vice xn hatred and injustice These alms are w1th1n our grasp and wholesome READING will be our starting point Francis Holterman 4-Z It is a library in itself, and its contents have no equal.

BIOLOGY Blology as the study of the thmgs of nature lt tells about lwmg things and teaches us how to thmk sclentlflcally of ourselves and our surroundings If we understand nature and xts ways we w1ll have a re spect for life and wlll try to protect and conserve xt joseph Cam Blology IS the study of plant and anlmal llfe It deals wlth the orlgm structure functlons and life h1story of plants and anlmal life also wlth the growth and reproduction of plants and anxmals One of the most lnterestlng parts of Biology IS the study of the use ful and harmful msects and blrds Insects whxch are useful llve on the msects which are harmful to men Birds also l1ve on other msects and anxmals which are harmful to man This helps to give man a safer place in whlch to live and helps to prevent dlsease whlch IS carrled by some of the lnsects Another mterestmg study IS the reproductxon 1n plants and anzmals Plants reproduce by various means but by seed the most common bulbs such as onlons and runners such as the strawberry Many celled an1 mals are formed in much the same way as are many celled seed plants Wxlfred jansen The thlngs that mterest me most are the constant struggle and search for food by anlmals and how plants and animals get thelr food how each nature how the different anzmals and msects help or harm man Ralph Boessen Biology helps us to protect our crops and get the most of lxfe xf we know how to protect our crops The blrds are the natural enemy of msects lt can klll mlllxons of msects m a day If xt were not for the blrds we would have so many msects around that we couldn t ralse a crop Where bxrds are few the msects are more numerous Francls Schaefer The most mterestmg thmgs I studled were the ways whlch plants bxrds, and anlmals lwe together There are many useful 1nsects such as the snout beetle and bees whlch fmd food on flowers yet do not harm them but asslst lh the polxnatlon of the flowers The dragon fly and the ground beetle de troys many harmful msects There are many harmful msects The potato beetle and the codlmg moth destroys useful plants and trees and ter n1tes destroy wood ln bU.11dlD.gS The chapter l xke best is the one that tells how every llV1I'1g thmg depends upon another for hfe Man depends on plants and anrmals for llfe Ammals depend on plants and smaller anxmals for exlstence Plants de pend on decayed mxneral matter ln so1l for llfe and the sunshine and the raln Henry W mgrath type of animal has its natural enemy which, helps keep the balance of Blology contmued The most mterestxng thlng ns how lnsects and animals have natural enemxes When there IS no natural enemxes the one SPCCIC reproduces and soon ousts man and plants For example ln Austraha where there IS no natural enemy for rabbits a paxr was taken there and soon repro duced so rapxdly that they soon became menacing to the people That I5 how easy lt IS to upset the balance of nature But the most mterestlng chapter IS about the plant lts roots leaves stem and branches It IS very mterestmg how plants obtain food water and axr necessary for lxfe Albert ansen We study Bxology to fxnd out ln whxch envxronment plants and am mals can best lxve ln what klnd

Harold Muenks Now that the 1947 Season IS past history and with a. hope for vxctormous 1948 Season we shall look back a moment First let us thank Father Schoen who rated hlgh on our llst of helpers He purchased for us a keen set of equipment whlch we were proud to use Smce we used the dxamond that the flrst team had rented and mamtamed before we came 1nto the baseball spotllght we wlsh to thank them also Although our team was very slow m the hrst part of the summer we cllmbed to the top ln the last part of August Our vlctorles outnumbered our defeats Our Outfleld was sharp and the Infleld was also on the up slde Our faxlures were caused by our weakness ln pxtchmg and catchmg We expect more brave lads to rlsk thexr popularity and make thxs lm portant part of the game a. success At the f1rst meetmg of the 4-8 Season the team chose a good manager and all the members of the team intend to make the 48 Season one filled wzth stxll more successes Harold Muenks WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE MAJOR LEAGUES At the begmmng of the 1947 Baseball Season the other boys and glrls were havmg a heated dlscusslon on Major League baseball games Iwas a sllent llstener because I had never seen a

Leagues I knew nothmg I never knew what Iwas mlssmg Now It seems a part of me Today I know of all the Natlonal League stars and by lxstenmg to these games over the radlo I learned to play my pos1t1on
