Page Two SKYSCRAPER As a Graduate, I Pledge Myself To hold my degree as a sacred trust: Education carries with it responsibility fm- truth, for courage, for straight think ing-, for conscientious action in any walk of life. To serve God and to keep my honor un tarnished: The Catholic college graduate has an objective above and beyond mate rial success; and she has a code which pro hibits her sacrificing truth or justice or charity to attain such success. To be loyal to my country and to my flag: The college graduate of 1943 will be motivated, not by selfish career or life plans, but rather by an earnest desire to contribute what her education has given her to helping her country and to work ing generously with the millions of Ameri cans who are pooling their energies to de feat the enemy. To be faithful to my Alma Mater until death: A Mundelein graduate will uphold always the ideals of Christian womanhood. Her personality will reflect the gracious ness, charm, and courtesy for her associ ates cultivated during her college years. Iter degree will be a symbol of her devo tion to her College and to its ideals of in telligent, well-poised living, social and civic leadership, and service to Church and State. Qremlins Answer Examination Problems They say that Gremlins can be responsi ble for most anything . . .a flat tire if you have a tire, a missing 17 when you've run out of shoes, a case of measles when you have an air cadet date, or a total blank as your comprehensive is solemnly placed before you.

Summer Sun Will On Collegians At The school year has done it again, and all those weeks until vacation are now re duced to a paltry one. For some of us, for most of us. we hope, this will be another summer recess; but whether it will be only a pause in schooling, or the beginning of a new life as a graduate, this summer cannot and should not be like other sum mers. Rest and relaxation we must have. Time and a change of scene will soothe that end-of-school nervousness. Hut, though the scene changes, certain necessary things re main, things like war work and work that keeps the wheels of daily life running smoothly. School is temporarily sus pended, but work for the OCD, a bit of blood donation, and a little labor on a Vic tory Garden are not mere scbooltime ac tivities. We'd like to think that this will be one of those lovely leisurely vacations, slip ping by in long hours of sleep, and lazy days on the beach and the tennis court. Those vacations belong to peacetime, to the peacetime we're lighting to bring back. L'nlil the light is won, and other people, people who arc now behind a gun or a ma chine tool, can enjoy those vacations too, we must set aside our dreams and do some thing to make the light a little shorter. Many of US can take summer jobs. Busi nessmen and farmers are calling for work ers. Perhaps it will be a part-time job, perhaps a full-time one. Whichever it is, there'll be War Bonds coming out of what Shine Work we earn. Maybe our job will be al home, helping to plan rationed meals and care for a tidy Victory (iardeii. or maybe we'll volunteer to help keep the children busy at vacation schools, settlement bouses, and day or week camps. We'll be busy, but we'll find time to do nate another pint of blood, or to help at the neighborhood Civilian Defense office, or to spend a few hours entertaining serv ice men at the centers. .And while we're getting away from school life, we won't forget it entirely, for there are many must- be-read books on our list, books just right for a hot summer evening, or sufficiently fascinating to make a long I. ride pass quickly, I'.ui perhaps these things still don't quite fill our requirements. Perhaps we can figure out that vacation would be pleas antly and profitably broken up if we were to attend summer school. Now's the time to make room for the extra Victory course we'll want to take next year. One or two summer courses will provide a neat gap in next year's schedule, a gap that radio com munication, or nutrition, or map reading will fill nicely. Summer is coming, vacation is almost here, and it will undoubtedly come and go with the same bewildering swiftness with which the college year passes. However swiftly il passes, let us resolve that Sep tember will find us ready for school again, and that behind us there'll be a summer of patriotic, purposeful activity. Win Your Service On College Front September is a month of colorful au tumn leaves, cool fall winds, college regis tration days, and, more important, a lime of decision. Many a freshman, sophomore, and junior will decide either to continue her education and complete it, or to carry on in her simmicr defense work with its remunerative advantages. For the girl who must make the deci sion, let September recall memories of hap py college days on a breezy lake shore campus- days well spent, well rewarded, and well keyed to the national program for Victory. Let September recall to her the fact that academic robes are as impor tant a service uniform as arc those worn by a Red Cross volunteer in North Africa or a WAAC jeep-driver in New Guinea. Let the month of September, heralding another academic year, recall to her the fact that a college degree is as potent a weapon in total war as is a riveting or welding tool, and is, moreover, precious in Uncle Sam's eyes, as is bis unique bomb- sight. As September brings vacation days to an abrupt end, let her be aware that, valuable as have been her sum mer experiences and associations as assistant in a laboratory, a machin ist's mate in a factory, a secretary, a dietitian's aide in a hospital greater service stripes may be won as a stu dent; eventually as a college graduate. Stripes In cautioning the young women of the nation against abandonment of their col lege opportunities, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was visioning the future roles in administrative and civic duties that ed ucated women alone can fill. He, in emphasizing higher education, is looking towards a livable post-war world in which intelligent, cultured, straight- thinking and strong-willed individuals will have to make legislative proposals, will have to take charge of critical rehabilita tion projects, will have to staff hospitals and industrial laboratories and do research in various fields. ()ur President knows, too, that only ed ucated women with high ideals and stand ards can mother a new, strong generation and infuse into it democratic and Christian ideals, in the trying times following demo bilization. Mundelein is, therefore, the matrix which will mold your career, which will strengthen you spiritually and culturally to meet future demands. Mundelein training will fit you with a life-long armor of character and strength. Mundelein, with its nation ally praised Victory program, will equip you with an intellectual weapon which will carry you through the dura tion and into the peace of a post-war world. Three Dots and a Dash Training tomorrow's leaders comes un der the category of first-rate defense and offense on the home front.

She's freshman Kay Freda, who writes letters, reads, and generally makes recreation bonis pleasant for service men in hospitals. From student to teacher that's the transformation Eleanor Kandratas makes when she takes time off from her fourth- floor home economics activities to give eager housewives hints on taking the gloom from meatless, butlerless meals another home-front service designed to raise morale by casing the none-too-gay task ol menu planning in a ration-conscious city.
