 This Years Senior Glass
 The first appearance of the class of 48 in September 1889 brought a group into high school that we really had little hope for. The size ranged all the way from Isobel Moore to tall and lanky seagull Lloyd. But when Initiation came around that year they proved to be a swell bunch of sports. To refresh your memory as well as theirs, we wish to name them over:
 Harry Bradley, Little Boy Blue; John Teller, aGlamor GirI'; Mac MeCay, "Cayeman9; Dick Stokes, "Gigalo"; Bill Lloyd, Groom; Is obel Moore, Bride. Chuck Jen- kins, Preacher; Phyllis Mac Creary, Duchess; Francis Church. i'll, Colonel Potterslyo; Eleanor Mccormack. Fisherman; Hazel Mccullough. "Winky9; Robert Shermer, Ballet Daneer'.
 This group has scattered far and wide, some are.in the armed forces, others away at school, and working but those who still remain about the old school. and who will soon be graduating I'm sure will never forget:

Russian Front

The long Russian front passed through
another week Of suspense with little in
the way of action other than probing
raids, minor air action and some artillery
dueling. With each passing week the
likelihood Of a German offensive grows
less, though the Communist paper Pravda
insisted last week that there is no truth
to reports received In London that the
Nazis have withdrawn so divisions from
the Russian front to bolster the garrisons
in Occupied France and the Balkans.
Whether the Germans have decided to
stay on the defensive or are awaiting a
Japanese attack on Siberia, which Chi
nese dispatches declare is imminent, be-
fore starting renewed drive remains
for the future TO disclose. What offen-
sive moves have taken place have been
of Russian origin during the week and
some minor successes are claimed.
The Red Army claims to have occupied
a strong point on a dominating hill in
the Karelian Isthmus which had been
held for some time by the Films and
during the occupation to have killed 800
Finnish officers and men. The statement
Evening star., 1943-07-04

came after the Firms had stated that
they had occupied Russian strong
point the day before, Sunday, killing 300
Russian officers and men. The battle
of claims was a draw.
Against the Nazis, the Russians declare
that they have destroyed number of
concrete pill-boxes with artillery fire in
the Orel area where Russia expects the
main German blow to fall If the Nazis
retake the initiative and seek to envelope
Moscow. The Germans admitted yester-
day that they had fallen back to new
defense lines near Smolensk.
Recapitulating German plane losses
for the week, the Reds declare that they
have shot down 21l enemy planes to the
loss of "A of their own, this figure not
including planes destroyed on the ground
in raids on airdromes.
What may he the forerunner of de-
termined effort to rid the Caucasus of
the last Nazi toe-hold came toward the
end of the week when heavy air assault
occurred on the German-held ports of
Kerch and Senaya on the Crimean side
Of the Kerch Straits. Port Taman on
the other side also was bombed Some
observers believe that this was an effort
to destroy German supply lines and
dumps, thus making less dificult the
expulsion of the enemy from the
Caucasus.

Doubt Bombs Alone Can Win

Germany possesses. The ground floors
serve as air raid shelters for civilians.
Six months ago, the Nazis expected
wonders of these concrete monsters be-
cause of their invulnerability to air at.
tack. Today they are sadly disillu-
stoned.
Apart from trying to bring down Allied
planes. the Nazis have done their best
to provide their people with adeql qlate
shelter protection. But their efforts
have been greatly hampered by lack Of
materials, especially concrete. Travellers
from Germany do not try to conceal the
inadequacy of German air raid shelters
in the Ruhr, both in number and in the
protection they afford. Their admissions
have recently been confirmed by Reich
marshal Hermann Goering himself who
has ordered the digging of trenches in
the public squares and avenues of almost
all of the bombed towns. There Is no
doubt that the Germans today find
greater security in open-air trenches
than in converted cellars beneath FIVE.
storied buildings which, if hit, are likely
to bury them alive.
Another Nazi disillusionment has been
the small effect of their efforts to camou.
1age targets by building dummies beside
them or concealing them beneath giant
nets. In Berlin. famous avenue has
been camouflaged this way for several
months. In Hamburg, dummy canal
has been built few kilometers away
from the real one. But American and
Royal Air Force pilots are no fools.
So far as reprisals are concerned, the
Nazis are placing even greater emphasis
on their secret weapons. These, they
tell the people daily, are increasing in
quantity and efficacy, but are purposely
being held back against the appointed
hour"
AS added spice to this secret weapon,
the Nazi press writes of their Legendary"
invention designed by Eric Muller, who
works day and night in the subterranean
laboratory to which only Der Fuehrer.
Goering and sometimes Armaments Min
lister Albert Speer have access.
The present inactivity of the Luftwaffe
has definitely led some observers here to
wonder if Goering is not saving up for
a retaliatory blow against the British
Isles. The same observers do not COM
pletely discard the possibility that the
Nazis have some secret weapon up their
sleeves. But these people may well be
the victims of the propaganda which the
Nazis primarily intend for their own
peoples. The future alone will tell.

Japanese Turn to Defensive

conquered empire. the Nipponese are
doing a most successful Job in getting the
natives to their side and convincing
them that the era Of exploitation by the
white man is over.
These factors have tremendous i'm
portance from q military point of view.
We realize that when the time comes to
strike at Japan, particularly If we are
not fortunate enough to have air bases
on the Asiatic mainland, the conquest
OF Hirohito's empire from east to west
will be tremendous military problem
which may require years to solve.
OF course, the situation might be less
serious If we could use the Russian bases
in the Maritime Provinces. But this is
a matter which we cannot take into con-
sideration in formulating our war plans
for the future since there is not the
slightest indication that the Russians
will be willing to let us use the bases.
If there is not much talk in WASH
ington military quarters about the dif-
ficulties we will have to encounter in
the Pacific II months hence, there is a
good deal Of concern which is expressed
privately by our key strategists.
They admit that the situation cannot
be changed since our national policy is
to defeat Hitler first. We are formally
pledged to this and cannot change it.
But nevertheless the difficulties con-
fronting us across the Pacific are not be-
ing minimized and are fully realized by
all those whose job 1t is to see the war
carried to successful conclusion on both
fronts.
And 1t is reluctantly admitted that the
Pacific front Is likely to give US many
more headaches than the one In Europe.
