Fonnwono Oppressed by the threat of Turkish domination in the sixteenth century, the Church armed herself under the command of Don Juan of Austria and the spirit- ual guidance of Pope St. Pius V. Through Our Lady's intercession, the Christian forces defeated the Ottoman fleet at Lepanto, Greece, on October 7, 1561, thus ending the Turkish aggression. In commemmoration of this battle the Holy Father instituted the feast of Our Lady of Victory. The Church today is faced with a threat no less real, no less terrible - the threat of Communism. As Christian men and women, we must likewise arm ourselves against the grave temporal and spiritual dangers which Communism presents. The education we receive at Our Lady of Victory High School prepares us for the fight against these dangers. But we are not merely taught what to fight against: we are given a cause to fight for - the cause of Christ. We are strengthened in this cause not only through our religious training, but in the sciences, languages, arts, technical skills, and social activity. Our.cover design is symbolic of the Battle of Lepanto. We see the Christian banner with its cross penetrating the broken Ottoman spear with its crescent blade and horse-tail. A ship from the Christian fleet rests anchored in the distance. While the Turkish shaft now lies useless and shamed. and the cause of Christ stands triumphant, let us march behind the shield of Our Lady of Victory, and look for the church to vanquish the hammer and sickle which challenges the flag of Christ today.
