The packages contained chewing gum, candy, memorandum books, and a note for each of our "Future Fliers of America."

But in many important ways this is also a young woman's war; young women in uniform and young women in overalls; young women in field and factory, in office and hospital. You as young college women have a definite part to play in this crisis. For even in the classroom, today 's war is not merely academic. It is actual. Young women students, everywhere, are keenly aware of the facts of the war; they must also be alert to the way in which those facts affect them as women and as students. They must recognize the unpleasant fact that a totalitarian triumph would destroy their very freedom to attend the college of their choice. They have a tremendous stake in the war; for if we were to lose it, .they would lose their future, and youth deeply deserves a future. They also have a service to perform and they are performing it with their characteristic enthusiasm and determination. I know that, for my own daughter , a college Sophomore, tells me of the many war services her classmates are rendering. One thing you can all do is to buy War Bonds and Stamps. Perhaps you cannot invest vast sums of money. But you can invest an appropriate share of all you receive or earn. And as you invest this money you will also be investing your own sacrifice and selfrespect. In a practical and patriotic way, you will be uniting scholarship and citizenship. You will also be investing in the future. Youth has always depended on the future. Today the future depends on youth." It's more than a man's war, says Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of Treasury.

Coach Buchheit and the team can be congratulated for finishing the season without blotting games off the books. Buchheit had a squad of no more than twelve to work with , at any time during the season, and the last game was played with only eight boys available, but nevertheless the cage team gave a good account of itself. The loss of two varsity players, first Bernie Pufnak and then, Vince Washvilla, both key . men, lowered the hopes considerably, but the dribblers were bound to conclude the season with all games played, and conclude it they did. Ja yvees (Win Over Berwi ck Y. M. C. A. The Husky Cubs registered their third victory of the year by winning over a previously undefeated Berwick "Y" team, 48-31. The Berwick outfit had gone twenty-seven games with a perfect record prior to this setback. Berwick took a 13-11 lead at the quarter , but at the half the Cubs were ahead, 25-15, and there they stayed. Phil Yeany was the leading point-getter for the Jayvees with sixteen while Dick Shearer was close behind with fourteen . The Cub defense held big Jack Watson at bay, and although he led the "Y" club with eleven points, it was unusual for the former pro player to be bottled up. Yeany, a forward, and Harry John, a guard , both played their last games for the duration , having left for active duty in the Air Corps after the game. A much improved B. S. T. C. basketball team racked up its third win in the last four games by overcoming Millersville here, February 23, 59-41. It was sweet revenge for the Huskies who had dropped a contest to the * * ? ?
