The Torch, 1944

              The Tower Torch
We receive our gossip of all the "Edgies,"
and information of previous events and coming attractions through reading our school
paper, the Tower Torch. The paper is published six times a year. One of the main
aims of the Tower Torch this year was carrying the message to the girls that only their
prayers could bring peace closer to them,
their families, and friends, and thereby preserve  the future happ:ness of the girls.
At the Tower Torch editor's desk sits Betty
Campbell, and occupying the various other
desks are the assistant editors, Mary Ford,
Gloria Jaffke, Doris Pehowski, and Virginia
Pfaller.

this year was singing the High Mass on
College Day.
