Days of Combat 0I 2lfU0l Dear Trojans, this is your book. This is the story, in six chapters, of the days you have lived from last September to this Maytime. It is a story which will make you smile, we hope. It will remind you of some of your joys and your disappointments too, for two-thirds of the pictures were taken in the unposed midst of your daily life. This is the story of persons endowed with life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness: noble words for expressing things like glorious spring sunrises, the live feel of a bus bouncing over winter roads, the triumph of lacy green leaves coming out on the dark branches of trees, and the peaceful hush of the parish Holy Hour. This is the story of persons sharing the common nobility of Americans and the common glory of children of God and invited soldiers in the Battalion of that Gentle Queen of Peace, Mary Immaculate. You will find your weapons on the next page. The entire Senior class helped in giving this book spirit and life--and body. It's a 'Thank you, from the class of '49 for the joy of your friendship. 2

Mother of Christ Pray for us X 1 illt Today's unhappy cold war is caused by a clash of ideals. Men without faith, stumbling in the darkness of a life they do not under- stand, are using with all the skill they can summon three of the weapons pic- tured on this page: the pen, f!Xx M S f' X 'A K Egfr, X, '-,fx l M MN ,ook , k To draw them out of the darkness, to turn on the light, Christians need to implore the Light of the World to return to His rightful place in the world. This they can do by a fourth weapon, unused by the ig- norant armies clashing by night, as Arnold called the forces of' the world at war with each other. Prayer is the signal instrument of the Christian. Prayer must be coupled with energetic action. We are still in this world where God expects men to work. It is the theme of this book to attempt to show how Christian youth must consecrate its Today and pre- pare for its Tomorrow. 3 , ..... .,...k,
