1 The Belles of Saint Mary’s March The Belles OF SAINT MARY’S Good Friday, 1945 Today is Good Friday. To all Christians it is a day that symbol izes the greatest sacrifice of all— Christ’s yielding up Ilis life to save Today, we are almost inclined to wonder if this sacrifice really accom plished much, for we find that we are in the midst of a great war that causes the suffering and death of the innocent. But we know that whatever is worth while is purchased by suffering. Our men, and the men of other countries, are laying down their lives as a down payment on our futures. We do not know who will die and who will return to lead us into our futures; hut the role of those of us “who only stand and wait” is to make sure that we will not break the trust of those who die for us, and that we will shield this future from another war. EDITOUIAIn DISRFXJAKI) OF STUDENT RUEES (From P. 1, Col. 3) !Miss Sallie Digges, adviser to the Student Government, expressed the views of the faculty on the episode of Chapel skipping by saying: “Church attendance is not voluntary in a Church school, but compul sory. . . . Formerly Chapel attend ance was checked by faculty mem bers. I’m sure that no one wants to go back to that. . . . This matter should sober up the whole student body This is a matter of every day honesty. . . . Skipping Church is not attractive; not honest. . . . Student Government will not con done it and j)arents will be notified.” Mary Arden Tucker, chairman of the Hall Council, summed up the general attitude by saying; “It’s your Student Government, not Kate’s. . . . nor the other Student Government officers’. Don’t let Stu dent Government backslide . . . ac cept the responsibility of upholding it.” « BELLES C.AROEYN WRIGHT HOIAiAXD Published every two weeks during school year by the student body of Saint Mary’s School.

(From P. 1, Col. 2) According to Mr. Foster, the Japs have one powerful weapon, their fanatical worship of their emperor. They are willing to give up their lives that the Emperor may “rest undisturbed.” “It is a strange phi losophy, difficult to comprehend, but don’t laugh at it, try to understand it.” To them, his Imperial Majesty is a god, they are as devout in their Shintoism as we are in our worship of Christ. Mr. Foster illustrated his point on Jap fanaticism by saying that on Iwo Jima 20,280 of the enemy had died while the prisoners “could be counted on two hands.” They suffered 100 per cent casualties. “If this is to be a criterion, we can only imagine the casualties that are going to result.” Mr. Foster finished his talk to Saint Mary’s by saying that it was good to be back with his own church on Good Friday, and that he hoped that any of the girls who came to Boston would call him at his studio and come to hear one of his broad casts.
