Page TwO SKYSCRAPER rZemember f- aint (a5c oxed formed an essential part of spring afternoon playtime in pre-school days? Remember squishing brightly colored clay into first-grade jewelry, and then cutting stiff construction paper to make red and yellow and blue ( ) tulips for a fourth-grade art exhibit? All through grammar school, colors brightened the routine of readin', writin', and 'rithmetic even the beloved Cathedral Basic had a vivid blue cover Toward the end of the college year, the endless string of as signments research papers, book reports, experiments take some of the color out of life. Classes may retain the old challenge, but the work we do ourselves becomes a burden. It would be good, then, to recapture the three primaries and their secondary colors on the same clear chart that ruled our young er years. We may not be talented, but the primary colors aren't beyond the range of even the humblest artist. Red pigment is com posed of energy and vitality, and the artist puts it into life. True yellow depends upon the way we work, sunnily, happily. Blue yields return values appreciation, growth, and extending horizons. We can't give a money-back guarantee on a sure-fire Kolor bak to restore the brighter side of life. But we offer a suggestion. Try smiling; resolve to tackle assignments with a boundless supply of optimism and freshman bounce, and make them bright as the sun and pleasing as the rainbow. In short, Color Your Outlook 11 arooned on rdiand of lllllature elf- uffi iciencu the high school graduate enters Mundelein resolved to prove false the old adage that the average college grade is C, to win all the beaux as the belle of the coke dances, and to maintain a charming, albeit casual, impression of college-shop grooming. For a few of these new collegians good resolutions of joining as many clubs as possible and making a dozen friends and hun dreds of acquaintances lost the battle against the appeal of the mid- afternoon dash to Lee's. There is still time for this occasional freshman to admit that she's made some mistakes, to pull herself together for the rest of the quarter, and to chalk up on the credit side of the ledger the fact that she at last realizes how much better she might have done. Sophomore year is still ahead. The girl who still needs to prove to herself that college life can be generous and rewarding will be wise to plan and, work for that goal now. -*/ft a. l odt of a J-ew Co ers w and a case of writer's cramp, we can purchase a re-awakening of Christian thought in our confused world. Each year militant radical organizations send thousands of let ters and pamphlets to radio executives, newspaper editors, political leaders. They make their leftist opinions felt, while we keep our Christian ideas to ourselves. We who have the truth are usually not sharing it with our less fortunate contemporaries. Our letters to McCall's magazine were a beginning, but only a beginning. We can write to tell publishers what we think of anti- religious books; entertainers, of immoral shows; congressmen, of unchristian laws. A penny postcard can be a powerful weapon, more potent than aimless debate, more effective than high sound ing theories. It's time for us to take our pens in hand to commend, to criti cize ,to protest. It's time for us to get out of our ivory towers and hurry to the corner mailbox. /i'lustical f o3e UUc W arnd: unless you pray for the reconversion of Russia, nations will be en veloped in a third world war . . .These are the words of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the apparition at Fatima, just 30 years ago. The Lady in Blue tells of possible world conditions so terrify ing, if Russia is not converted, that the latter part of her message has never been publicly revealed. Current talk of a possible third world war forces us to realize the importance of her message. Either we look confidently to the Queen of Peace with sincere prayer in our hearts, or we must look sorrowfully on a world at war again because of negligence and in difference. A Miracle through Prayer for Russia is the only alternative the only solution. The Red Hat. . . became a red mat of welcome to John Henry Newman, held out to him by the arm of the Church, saying in a way far better than words that God was pleased to see him among His followers. But that's telling the end before the begin ning of an important story of one man's road to God, a road that led him over the sea, across countries, all the while stepping on the unhappy toes of the Church he once belonged to. The world of his time gasped at his actions, but Newman knew where to look for courage and to find it in the Hanel of God. Covelle Newcomb's inter pretation of the past century's most sur prising conversion is an excellent popular testimonial to the name of the man no church seemed to want, but whom we proudly remember today as Cardinal New man. Purple Heart Valley . . . where so many soldiers won fame in the Italian invasion, is described by Margaret Bourke-White in clever similies, brief de tail, and narration of significant and per tinent incidents. Facts about the interest ing people with whom the author was as sociated contribute to the book's vivid ness. As official correspondent-photog rapher for Life, covering the war-front with the Eighth and Twelfth Air Forces and later with the Fifth Army, Miss Bourke-White had the opportunity to make clear the concise report of action.
