September 1943 found only a few of our class coming back to Marshall. Could this be Marshall that we had entered in ’41? The ebb of life went down and down: The campus was as dead as if ghosts walked the lanes. The only sign of life was the tramp, tramp, tramp of the cadets and their attempt to stay cheerful by singing. This year we had no college dances, only a few for the cadets, no parties, no football games. Most of the boys who had entered in '41 by now had entered the service, and many of the girls left to get jobs while money was free and easy. Time after time we who were left had to check our own impulse and muster up all the resistance we had to finish school, but in the end our better judgment helped us through the temptation. We realized that after all we were the America of Tomorrow, and that in order to become good leaders or followers we needed all the education that we could obtain. To case our impatience to get out of school and start our own careers the administration began the accelerated school program. Under this new program we could finish school in three years by going a few weeks in the summers. At last our senior year is here. Why, it seems only yesterday that we were freshmen. yet now we can realize that in the past four years we have endured many hardships just as all college students have done during times of war. These hardships have left their imprint on us. for they have matured us beyond our time. This year many of our boys who entered with us in ’41 arc back, and also many younger and new ones. The cadets have left, and again Marshall is taking on an air of pre-war days with our crowded Union, swings, mixes, and many extra entertainments. When the Student Council planned Sadie 1 lawkins Day all the student body and even some of the faculty participated. Other memories are of swings given not only for the student body, but also for the patients at Morris Memorial and Veterans hospitals. Perhaps the most amusing memory is of the Faculty basketball game which was held entirely for the l iny Tim Fund. Who can ever forget Bill Garda as Page Pitt, Carl Drury as Dean Bowers, or Jimmie Staley as Pappy” Utterback? A Service Flag has been erected, a memorial beneath which we always pause as we pass it by the clock in Old Main. One of the final events of the year was the Spring Carnival, the first of its kind on the campus—the Marshall of the good old days” is back and back to stay. Once again we can be proud to be a Marshall student. Our faces have turned to the future; we no longer have to look backwards, but can turn our eyes toward bright opportunities. As we come closer to the day of graduation, there is a lump in our throats and the suspicion of tears in our eyes, for after all this has been our home for four years and each of us has grown close to his classmates. We’ve struggled together, played together, and now we come to the parting; but such is life. To the incoming students we offer a hearty welcome, for we know they will love Marshall as we do.
