WWW Mumhxxwtw Democracy In Action Saint Casimir High believes that an incentive and an inspiration must be given towards a high and noble living, if the school is to contribute towards the development of skills, attitudes and ideals leading to an effective and very active American citizenship and world cooperation for peace. As a conse- quence, all opportunities for moral, intellectual, physical and social development are eagerly utilized and all signs of leadership are encouraged The world at large looks forward to its true leadersethose who will keep their promises, stick to their principles, and dare to fight for the truth. The daily press and the radio are the channels that tell us how the world struggles in vain today for permanent peace, be- cause many of its leaders gamble with human life and ethical principlese- while God,s laws are forgotten, and manls rules are hollow and empty. As we go out into the world, we know that order and harmony can only be realized, if the harmony between God and man is kept unbrokenethat the torch of freedom, justice and humanity must be carried forward unflinchingly, tomorrow as well as today. Casmirittes make it a point to be in- formed on the Iatest news. Here the momentous speech on the U.M.T. by President Truman gets full attention from Getty Klonowski, Regina Grzywacz, Fred Leja and Martha Szydzik. Joan Turowski makes it a point to corner the Student CounciI President on his views about the U.M.T. ResuIts seem to be satisfactory to all concerned. Pictured here are a few members of the Journalism class, as they gather in the Publications Room to discuss the Iatest school news and findings 01 the assigned reporters. Directly across are seated Eleanor Bartos, the assistant editor and Gerry Parpart, the editor of The Casmirette.
