We had been having air raid alarms every day, sometimes a half dozen of them, for nearly two week:. This morning when the alarm was sounded no one became very .excited, as we had not seen a plane in weeks. It was 10:20 A. M. Five minutes later, six planes were circling the city. There were two groups of three planes each, flying in formation. On the second round, Frs. Yager, Fox, and myself were on the second floor watchir-g, when they came straight for us . I ran downstairs, trying to keep an eye on them, ibut as I was inside and they were directly overhead, I could no longer see them. Pretty soon they REV, D. J. McHUBn, C.

EDITORIAL As the new school year begins, and the "De Andrein" be- gins another volume, it is well that we look about us and find our place in the scheme of things. Outside, there is a growing atmosphere of unrest, of uncertainty. With- out, there is that lack of something solid on which to build the future. For us there should be no such problem. Ours it is to "fight the good fight, finish our course, and keep the Faith." Not for us are the worries of the world. Our present and future are very definitely planned for us. It is the recording of such achievement that is the end of our paper. We hope, weak and inexperienced as we are, to bring you the interesting and inspiring stories which lie oehind the work of our confreres. We hope to enjoy your assistance in this task-assistance both financial, critical Action Close-ups of the Game and informative. Only thus can we attain our end. 1 2 3 4 5 | 6 7 8 | 9 RIH_-EI We celebrate this year the hundredth anniversary of the NOVICES 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 121 6 of Blessed John-Gabriel Perboyre.
