SIX OPQLUOI' The nations of the world are at war. War has even come to our beloved nation so that it is only fitting for us to use the armed forces of the United States as a theme. Many a son of Loyola has been called to the colors and many a son of Loyola will be called to the colors. Come what mayg we will always find Loyola's sons defending their country and praising their God. lf in the twilight of life you are able to take up your El Camino and recall the many happy days that were once spent in the pursuit of learning, if you are able to thank God for the opportunity of such an education, then and only then will the El Camino and Loyola High School have deemed that they have been a success.
