There are several features in this an' nual, which, we hope will never have cause to appear in another. We pray earnestly that there may never aaain be reason for the issuance of a paqe titled, Seniors in the Serf vice or Members of the Alumni in the Armed Forces. There are also several features missing due to the fact that the Paulist has been sent to press earlier than usual. We wish to mention here that immediately followinq the beainninq of the second soinoster, Bud Britt, our Sports Editor, refused his deferment and volunteered for service. Ho was inducted into the Quarter-Master Corps in March. Good luck to Bud and to all tho other boys liqhtinq this war of greed, hate and oppression.

lI.Y.0. Under the guidance of our Spiritual adviser, Rev. Father Foley, the C.Y.O. has spon- sored many activities. With our capable President, Patrick Britt, assisted by Mary Sewall, Vice-President: Rose Marie Morris, Secretary: and Iames Wood, Treasurer: the organiza- tion has progressed commendably. Several Parties were held at the K. of C. Hall. The first held was a Hallowe'en party, where all enjoyed a jubilant evening. The event that produced the greatest fun was the ducking for apples. After pleasing refreshments were served, dancing became the main feature for the rest of the evening. In December a Christmas Exchange was held. Our members of the C.Y.O. were cordially invited to attend a Valentine Dance held by the Kokomo chapter of the C.Y.O. on February 14. A blizzard preceded the party, so the whole crowd could not get over, but those who made it brought back glowing reports of the fun. These out-of-town gatherings promote friendship in larger Catholic Circles. A lilfAMI G HIIIM llllll Sllllll Ill IIHAIIIIER Invitation to the Lord of Pemberly Manor, from the Lady Prioress. Sir: In friendship truly I thee extend, Following my gay but simple trend, This written expression of solicitation And hope you'll accept without evasion. The following accompaniment for you is meant. To Canterbury, thither, in four and twenty days, Aggregating in a special array, A pilgrimage of united friends Will set forth without pretends, Our destination, St. Thomas shrine meant, With austere feeling our thoughts all bent. The road to Canterbury stands serene, The Beauty of Nature is ever seen. Music and song will greet the ear Of all enroute from front to rear, This wonder trek you'll e'er hold dear. We'll all depart from Southwark place, And southward stride with cheer embrace. Your presence, dear friend, however meted, Will, by all, be friendly greeted. Lady Prioress Cecilia Bir '44
