Y/E have to come to the end of another year and our thoughts wander back- over all the studies and activities of the past months. We decide they have been fun and tuck them away in our memories for that hour of remembering when. Meanwhile, here are a few more things you may want to file away.

Jeanne O'Connor, senior, re ceived her ring from Charles Graffy, Junior Jo Lambrecht received hers from Ensign Thomas Miller, and sophomore Dorothy Scott received hers from ex-serviceman Leonard Milke. OOMEONE feels sorry for the Friday k ' night journalists and we're debating right now the advisability of taking the Commencement story off the front page and putting the Art club party in its place. Amid the click of our typewriters just a few minutes ago, a returning re porter announced: The Art club is bringing us some of its party, and three talented eight-floorers marched in with a WHOLE CASE of coke and a plate of cake. VY/HO at Mundelein receives more corsages than anyone else on the campus? Our Lady, of course. Almost any day, one will find a party orchid or camellia in the hand of the Madonna of the Michaelangelo Pieta just outside Stella Maris Chapel. Often after week ends, flowers are tucked all over the statue, and the fragrance of roses and lilies of the valley or gardenias is a testa- ineMit to devotion. Army Chaplain Tells of Experiences College students must develop the ability to think for themselves, declared Captain Charles Forsythe, O.S.B., a veteran of 24 months service as an Army Chaplain in the Pacific area. During a brief stay at the College, Father For sythe talked to several classes alxmt his war experiences. Allaying fears about readjustment, he described the returning veterans as basically the same men who went to war, with possibly a more mature sense of values. Recognizing the need for a return to Christian values, Father Forsythe said that self reliance and self development are the responsibilities of theise fortunate enough to be called students. Father Forsythe, who spent his last six months of service in Army hospitals recovering from wounds, wears the Sil ver Star for gallantry in action and the Purple Heart.
