EHIHUHE YUIHH There are many requisites necessary to attain to the highly honorable position of a good citizen. Among the most outstanding of these are a thor- ough training in preparation for citizenship: a clear understanding, and a vital interest in the affairs of government, and respect, loyalty, and obed- ience to the laws of our country. One must have knowledge of the fundamental qualities required- of every good citizen, before he can appreciate and cooperate cheerfully and intelligently in the promotion of good govemment. Schools are training young students in the science of democratic government, but due to the secularized system of our public school education, many boys and girls lack the essential knowledge of Christian principles. During the days of social unrest, the aftermath of war conditions, the problems of juvenile delinquency, mass hysteria, racial and religious hatreds, and economic stabilization must be met and successfully settled, before the blessings of peace and prosperity will rest upon the world. These difficulties, to be faced in the near future, are based on moral issues. Christian prin- ciples are involved and endangered. The modern paganism and anti-God forces are at work even now, for war disrupts and disintegrates the social order. Who will take the responsibility of bringing peace out of these chaotic conditions? Who will fight to preserve the heritage of Divine Faith and Christian Teachings, which alone can bring love and peace? It is the Catholic Youth of Today, the product of religious as well as secular train- ing, who must be the leaders of the Christian world of tomorrow. Catholic Youth hearkenl It is we, who must carry the banner of Christy it is we, who must bear the beacon of Faith and love: it is we, who must dispel the darkness of hate, depravity, and irreligion. To the American youth that looks to the future of democracy, we, the Seniors, of '44, dedicate our Annual, the Paulist, through the Patroness of our class, our diocese, and our country, the Immaculate Conception. i The Immaculate Conception has been the Patroness of the Catholic Church in the United States for almost a century, and of the Diocese of Fort Wayne since its foundation. During our high ,k school years, we, too, chose Mary Immaculate to be our Light and Protectoress. Through her, then, as we here pause to dedicate our book to the fu- f ture of democracy, we dedicate our futures to her, that she will be always our Star of Hope. Carolyn Mott '44 f if ,
