Pa e T wo SKYSCRAPER Help Your Class Over the Top QttetoiG Easter -1942 It's Different Easter, 1942, marks the end of an old way of looking at spring. It marks the close of the era in which Easter meant, to too many people, the time, merely, when soft green growing things appcar and the earth feels another spring the time for outrageous but fashionable hats, and the annual spring fever let-down. The feast which commemorates the Resurrection and heralds the birth of the Church is a symbol, in 1942, of the day, sometime in the future when warriii , na tions will win an honorable peace and begin the hard but hopeful task of re constructing a ravished world. As Easter follows Holy Week, so the Easter day of peace must follow the sor rowful days of war. These sad days are comparable indeed to the 40 days of pen ance spent by Christ in the desert, and prescribed for all men in reparation for their wrongdoings. The end of war, un certain now, must sometime come. Then we shall have, not one glorious day, but a series of days in which peace shall be the keynote, God the keystone. Meanwhile, a confident faith in the ul timate triumph of right can make even the Easter of 1942 a spiritually happy one. It will bring precious graces to those who have observed the restrictions of Lent, and it will be a forecast of the glorious Resurrection of mankind, tem porarily, from the horrors of war, eter nally, for the glory of heaven. Eor students in a Catholic college, Easter must mean a resolve to continue with new vigor all the activities which contribute to our national and our indi vidual welfare. We heard, during the week of March 2-7, much about conservation. Easter is a time for renewing our resolves to plan, to invest, to conserve, and to salvage. We can plan our summer vacations now, we can invest our time opportunely, avoid ing spring fever there can be no spring fever in America while American boys fight our common enemy we can salvage useful hours every day. And we can pray, during these last weeks of Lent, during Holy Week, and with renewed faith on Easter Sunday we can pray for the temporal resurrection of our periled civilization, and for the spiritual resurrection of all mankind. If you want your class to be the first to exceed its quota for the annual S.A.C. card party and fashion revue, here is what to do about it TICKETS sell your first four quickly, bring in the money, and go out and sell four more. This is the biggest event of the year, famed for the spirit of all-school cooperation behind it as much as for its outstanding financial success. Be a part of it; bring your parents to meet your friends. Don't be one of those students who wishes regretfully, the day after the par ty, that she had thought to ask Aunt Ida and Uncle Frank They would have en joyed it so much. Of course they would have, for no one should miss the occasion the enthusiastic crowds chatting gaily in the Grand Ballroom of the Stevens, the glamorous fashion show, the lights and laughter, and underneath it all, the universal knowledge that all these people having fun means new facilities for the College. ADVERTISEMENTS secure adver- ment blanks and instructions from the S.A.C. office in 404 and trek loopwards. This is an opportunity for good advertis ing that no company or business should miss; the card party program is read carefully by every one of the 2000 or more who attend the affair, and they, in turn, take it home to be read by other members of the family. Impress this up on your prospective buyers and they'll want a goodly portion of a page to dis play their products. PATRONS don't think for a moment that your parents and their friends won't be delighted to be patrons; everyone who is really interested in you is a potential customer. In fact, we've even heard from people who were quite hurt because they weren't included. After all. a prospect can only say No, and he will want to soften the refusal by buying a few tickets. Be accurate about all names and ad dresses, and remember the special offer for parent patrons. If you simply can't broach the subject to one and all, give in the names of those to whom you want patron and advertisement letters sent, and the S.A.C. will do the rest. EVERYTHING ELSE be a stamp- lickcr, an envelope-addresser, a poster- hanger-upper. Here is an opportunity to thank your College for the cultural en vironment, the liberal education, the sense of orthodoxy that it is giving you. Ten minutes of your spare time may not mean much to you, but the S.A.C. can make use of every second of it. President Roosevelt has asked college students to remain in school until called, to continue their formal education. We need new facilities to carry on, to maintain our proper place in the all-out war effort. If the night of April 20 is a success, we'll ha. c those facilities. Therefore, as far as the Mundelein college card party and fashion show is concerned, it's business as usual What's Your Score 11 Do you keep up with the news?
