e w it F i will .' 5 ,imma C-, e Cl ev Speed Up Victory War mindedl Peace minded! Victory minded! That's the spirit of the Senior ss. Last fall when the scrap drive was in vogue we determined to extricate ry available piece of metal we could lay our hands on. Even the metal ink co itainers on our desks did not escape our notice. Screw drivers quickly dislodged th 'e unnecessary accessories in school equipment and helped swell the size of the piit of junk parked on the grounds behind the school. cla I0 Second to none is the enthusiasm and spirit of rivalry prevalent among the ses in the purchase of bonds and stamps. We pledged ourselves to go over the and placed our goal on the 32,000 mark. Having all but reached our quota fin Marchj we next promised Uncle Sam that he could rely on us to buy one if not thi lei an de ho ca lo ra pl Fi th H lo to thi two jeeps before the close of school. In our P. D. classes war versus peace is a current topic for discussion. If only members of Congress realized what enthusiastic politicians the country has at . A. we feel certain they would deliver to us many of their brain-splitting prob- s confronting that dignified body today. And we should, somehow, Hnd an wer to the solution.

Until peace reigns upon our war-torn earth, we girls will be found in the hrst ks on our second Front of Prayer. The perpetual rosary which the students ged to reciteg the hour of adoration before the exposed Blessed Sacrament on t Fridaysg the hearing Holy Mass and the reception of Holy Communion for intentions of the supreme Pontiff is the spiritual battlefront at S. B. A. ven shall not be deaf nor unmoved when two hundred and fifty girls, fol- ing the lead of their teachers, petition on bended knees an outraged God e merciful and not be angry forever with his wayward children, nor when ty-six graduates surrender their high school dream, the Senior Prom as an act of sacrifice that peace and order be restored. fai lWe have not attempted to shoulder a gun, nor drive a jeep, but we pledge our yh, our devotion, our loyalty, and our service to our country's needs. 4 Mary Jane Steifl l l l
