This war continues, and calls you now to active service. Some go to the armed forces to give of their physical and mental strength in the conflict of battle. Most of you go to a service equally essential for the preservation of a free civilization, and one that will call for a like unswerving faith, for loyalty and fortitude. To teach is front-line service for the great victory of peaceg for you fight directly against the forces upon which barbarism depends,-ignorance, hate, prejudice and superstition. You will keep alive the fire of divinity in man when darkness threatens to overcome humanity. My wish for you is that no cynicism or despair will ever quench this fire in your own hearts. Grover C.

B. in Ed., Ed. M. Ztlzzfwunl HE CALL is All out for Uncle Sam and here at State Teachers College every man jack and every girl jill is finding a job in the scheme for winning the war. The college has become a seat of training and preparation for a group of reserve soldiers, marines and teachers who are few in number but great in earnest, patriotic zeal. Many of the young men are formally enlisted in the military and marine reserves, and several have already left for active service. Those who are still here are preparing to battle that fifth columnist Ignorance as he threatens the youngsters of our nation. No smart uniforms nor trim-sound- ing titles await these reserves. They won't even have cute coveralls and factory hats designed by Sally Victor. They will go about their work in ordinary clothes, under commonplace circumstances, but they will have answered the call to service as truly and honestly as a patriot can. S.T.C. is a training camp in every sense of the word. Commander-in-chief Bowman and his Chiefs-of-staff, the faculty, have set high standards. They have armed the reserves with the wisdom of the classics. Their manual of instruction has been the best of the old and the new in learning. The strategy they teach has been tested by experience and found effective. Regular inspections have been held twice a year and few of the troops were found wanting. Organized drill in the gymnasium kept the troops supple and alert, and manoeuvres in the train- ing school gave them experience which will be valuable in the real battle. The reserves of S.T.C. stand at attention ready for the call to active duty. 12 SENHHQE Elma of 1943 1 1 1 4 President-Hollis Whitman Vice-President-Lucile Parsons Secretary-Margaret Benson Treasurer-Althea Eddy Representative-Elizabeth Phelps Advisor-Andrew Flagg MARGARET BENSON Secretary of Class 4 Current Events Club 3,4 W.A.A. 1,2,3,4 Awards: Numerals and W.A.A.

However, we were issued our uni- forms very soon,-orange bibs bearing our insignia and orange caps, the sign of our rank for lack of itj as inductees. This was back in the autumn of '39. Members from our ranks became prominent in all functions. We joined all associations, and by our initiative and resourcefulness in such feats as our success- ful camouflaging of the gym into a cornfield and the recreation hall into the North Pole, we demonstrated our possibilities as future leaders. Our primary training was strenuous, but lead by Corporal Roch we took our first step up and became buck privates. After the extended summer furlough most of us returned to camp, where we proudly donned the single stripe and became first class privates. We were put in charge of the new recruits and spared no efforts to teach these rookies obedi- ence and respect, and to initiate them into camp life. During this period we put on a dance for the whole camp, which fwe say this in all modestyj surpassed all entertainments previously enjoyed. With groves of palm trees that reached the ceiling, thatched huts, and lei-bedecked dancers, we transformed the social hall into beautiful Hawaii. We had such success with this enterprise that we put on a barn dance later in the year, changing the gym into a very realistic barn for the occasion. In spite of having to teach the finer points of square dancing to most of those who attended, an hilarious time was had by all, and once again we were acclaimed for our ingenuity. In September of '41 we returned from summer leave fewer by many in num- ber, but full of ambition and overflowing with knowledge. Nothing can hold us down now! We took on the task of overseeing the new recruits and protect- ing them from over-zealous sophs. As sergeants our problems and duties had grown much more numerous and difficult, but we mastered them and looked for- ward to our first period of officer training. Soon after we entered the training school our immediate superior, Master Sergeant Whitman, informed us of the competitive stunt night at camp. Of course, our regiment walked off with the trophy and honors for having done an excellent job. 32 We also staged a dance at the Masonic Temple in a setting of fir trees and little white fences. A queen was crowned with a gardenia tiara and surrounded with beautiful attendants. The fame of our fair lady spread for miles around-even to Boston. Since our entrance into camp we have set high standards! At last - the final step before we would be commissioned. We were really important now, we thought,-the top kicks in camp. We held the chief offices in the clubs and associations. We captured the plaque on stunt night with our highly ingenious glorified vaudeville show. We staged a combination carnival and circus complete with games fon some the victim didn't have a chancej, a troupe of imported tumbling clowns, and real, live animals. On the slightest provocation we gave ourselves parties. There was a grand one at the residence of our advisor, Chief-Of-Staff Flagg, at which we were initiated into the mysteries of a game called fappropriately enoughj Artist. And there were parties at the quarters of our fellow ofiicer Eddy, and at Card's quarters. Before we knew what was happening, we were back in training again, where we worked long hard hours, inspired always with the thought, It won't be long now. As our training came to a close, a dance was given in our honor by the juniors. It was a very impressive affair, which we deeply appreciated and heartily enjoyed. As the climax to all our striving drew near, we found that fewer than half had stuck to the end, but we had grown closer together as our ranks were depleted, and worked diligently to make up in quality what we lacked in quantity. Finally training and the last inspection were over. The long-awaited time had arrived. Seated before Commander-In-Chief Bowman, and surrounded by the members of the camp, our relatives and our friends, we were reminded what this commission meant to us in duties and responsibilities. We solemnly filed up to the reviewing stand and received our commissions. We had reached our goal, and were commissioned teachers, but another, greater goal was ahead of us, one that could be reached only in the battle that is everyday living. Rita Roscla Cara' 35 faq Uaaifian HAT this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom expresses now as it did in 1863, eighty years ago, why the generation of today, young, and perhaps to you, still unsettled, is willing to take its place in step with the long columns of those fighting to maintain the four freedoms everywhere in the world. History, in its breathless hurry, made a note of these blueprints for freedom by which proud and decent citizens of the whole world could live in pride and decency, at any time and at any place. We make up a small design of the infinite pattern of that body of proud citizens, but as we go out to shape, to guide, and to mould the minds and personalities of many more young Americans you are wondering how much of our indoctrination will be able to take root and flourish. You, America, are wondering what criteria you can use to evaluate the standards held by us, the younger generation who are a part of the vast class of nineteen hundred forty-three. You are wondering whether we will accept the dogmas of democracy, you are wondering to what extent we can identify ourselves with the causes of freedom and whether we will risk our fortunes and, if need be, our lives in behalf of America. We, too, are wondering, wondering not despairingly, but sincerely, how we can live so as best to fulfill the tasks which are before us. We are wondering whether we can reach those goals that you, our parents and our faculty, have placed so high above us. In our enthusiasm and patriotism, we are filled with certainty that we can and we will answer the call to arms and to freedom. We have shown you the answer to one of the questions by the absence of some who belong here with us today. We shall continue throughout life to show you the solutions as we see them. You will find in us an unmistakable belief that each individual must have democratic rights, privileges and opportunities. It will be upon these beliefs that we can continue to build that new nation conceived in liberty. 34 We want a democratic way of life. We will accept the dogmas of democracy. We will identify ourselves with the causes of freedom until aggression is wiped from the surface of the earth or until we die. We go into a world at war,-not in despair, not cowed by some swastika or bayonet, not without a voice and will to speak, not without religion, and so not afraid. Life is not so dreary, so futile, so unavailing as that generation between two wars would have us think. Every dawn fashions a beautiful new day, every twilight finishes the pattern. The purple mountain majesties that you see about you have imparted strength to us these past four years. They embody the essence of proudness that we have for America. We are proud that we can speak, proud that we can worship, proud that we can share, proud that we are unafraid, proud that we can salute the flag that represents liberty and justice for all. The members of this class have found that we can help America most by sharing our knowledge. Quietly, patiently, while trumpets blare for those of us on the battle fronts, we at home will strive to overcome the enemies of youth. While those on the line of battle, those in the spacious skies, those on the surly seas fight to reconstruct a world where there can be freedom, we at home will be on the march to prepare the hearts and minds of those who will carry the ideals of democracy forward. These ideals were yours, they are ours, they will be theirs. We shall take our place as we quicken the indolent, encourage the eager, steady the unstable. No trumpets will blare for us, for us there will be no golden decorations. Our reward will be found in your recognition of what we have added to the well-being of America. Our reward will come when the light from the lamp of learning shines back to cheer us as it leads young America forward. When we are certain that The state of this nation is good, the heart of this nation is sound, the spirit of this nation is strong, the faith of this nation is eternal, H it will be little wonder that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. Lucile Parsons 3 5 Uadm aflhe ibm, SENIORS: Carry out these orders with caution and perseverance. Advance outside the college campus and maintain these various positions until further notice is given. CARD: Keep MOLLOY awake, and once you have done so, see that you are not hindered from rapid movement by undo clutter of his feminine admirers. Take your places quickly at Quantico so as to insure immediate reinforcement of marines already there. Heavy rubber boots and water wings will be supplied before you leave. WHITMAN and GREEN: Take up your posts in the largest army kitchen in the United States and keep the men fortified with samples of your home made delicacies. Whitman, as Staff Sergeant, shall give Rooky Green a severe pre- liminary training in the arts 5 la cuisine,--he must really learn to cook! Keep at it, Whitman! Remember, fatigue duty will really clinch each recipe! Both of you will be most valuable in maintaining the rugged constitutions of our soldiers in order that they may withstand all dangers. And remember this:-your main job will be to tickle the palates of our men in such a way that they will be glad to cut the throats of the enemy! STONE and BENSON: Advance to the F. B. I. headquarters in Washington and set up a bureau for the purpose of getting free secret information from the enemy. The postage will be prepaid and special vaults will be set aside for you in the Post Office building. The F. B. I. will furnish you with the needed ad- dresses. EDDY: join the WAAC's and keep a file showing the whereabouts of all the positions of the men, including Army, Navy, and Marines. This you will do by more or less personal contact. Approach all relationships cautiously so that no strained situations will arise. Your former experience has recommended you for this work. PARSONS and WEBSTER: Remove to Williamstown and hold the Cadets there at bay until the main body of troops arrive. PHELPS and LYONS: Cover the rural front and keep the children free from all malicious encounters. Keeping their teeth brushed and their faces clean and preparing them mentally and physically for adult maneuvers will do much to build up the needed resistance. 36 CAMERON: Advance to Louisville, Kentucky, and take over the radio pro- gram, A Song for You, which is on the air Monday night from 11:30 - 12:00 midnight. You will be releasing valuable manpower for the United States Army! KA wisher for Fischer - I hear music when I think of you .j RITA CARD: Situate yourself in a nearby school in the capacity of teacher and fill in your outside hours by writing bales of letters and shipping crates of cookies to the Marine Corps. This division will need special morale building, and affection shown this way on the home front will aid much in winning the war! MEADE: You shall start reconnaissance work at once! In view of your past training it has been suggested that you report to headquarters immediately the living and working problems of all our troops, both at their regular stations and on their maneuvers. Check especially the telephone service. This will be most important in the sending and receiving messages. We are counting on you, Meade, as a person most capable of carrying on this job. BLANCHARD: Report all the activities of the above units to the main office. A jeep will be furnished you for transportation purposes. You will also be given a secret code in which all the dispatches must be written. Keep your information accurate and up to date! Start your reports immediately. Issued this 6th day of june, 1943 Signed: Shirley Crompton, Officer of the Day CROMPTON: Remove to Arkansas to head a committee of one to raise and maintain the morale of the Sergeants. One of your first duties will be to supply each Sergeant with a jar of pickles. Do not allow any of the men to write a letter to himself and then send it to his wife. I know you will do an excellent job in carrying out these orders, but proceed with caution.

In fancy let us walk through other gates, Where men and women master great machinesg We'll watch a common scene that's taking place And hear a woman's earnest poignant voice: lt's a letter from my boy, my soldier son. He's well ...... thank God ...... but missing home. He speaks about swamp pinks and wonders if I'll get some for the house, Qhe always didj. Big bunches - light and deeper pink, Fragrant as anything, spicy but sweet. He writes about such unimportant things,- Our garden and his dog, my speckled hens. I guess he likes to shut the war outside, Those moments when he writes and thinks of home. A woman with her talisman of love, Standing among the crowds of laborers. She says, Who knows how much we hope and pray, We who have sent our menfolk to the war. just little made-up prayers, not from a book: They're true and plain, that plain folks understand. I guess the world is turning back to God, To faith and hope and Bible charity. Strength comes from God, the courage that you need To stand and do the thing you have to do. It's hard sometimes. . . She turns to work again, Still dreaming of swamp pinks and other years. More thoughtful when we see reality, We pause, look back to other years, then turn To face what comes and do the work we must, While here the ivy roots take hold and grow.

Jfdllaaq N SEPTEMBER 1942, eleven alert Master Sergeants from '44 Battalion were detailed by the Intelligence to North Adams on a mission which need not be revealed here. QRecords will be shown on presentation of proper credentialsj Technical Sergeant Fitzgerald relayed the orders as received: the detail were to become to all appearances embryonic instructors. Elementary! they com- mented inwardly as they grimly straightened their shoulders. Conscientiously they undertook an intensive study of the Manual for Non Coms, then translated its precepts into terse, explicit, motivating commands to the Mark Hopkins be- ginners in the army of Education. Occasionally they were thrown off guard in those days when some upstart showed That Spark of Comprehension ...... but such mishaps occurred rarely. It should be observed that so well were orders carried out that Commander-in-Chief Bowman presented many citations at a special review. The story behind the fact is no tale of routine obedience to explicit com- mands. Many a time did this group make sacrifices which were not required. We might tell how the heroic eleven guarded all entrances to the Taconic Barracks for two hours with full equipment against the arrival of an expected platoon of Naval Aviation Cadets. And, as though this were not enough, they bore their share in the task of making the young men feel welcome for an entire evening. On the lighter side, these exemplary warriors occasionally found themselves with a few hours leave. The time was invariably used in combining pleasure with voluntary service to some deserving cause. One instance was the demon- stration of the principles of nutrition at the hamburger grill in C. of C. Bowman's back yard. Another was the formation of a convoy for a group of inductee fresh- men through the perils of the first few weeks of the semester. They also gave them ffreej instructions in the morale building qualities of the moving picture. Mental and physical wellbeing is maintained at a high level by many hours of organ displacement at the Weston Abrasium. At the annual stunt night they proved by methods both scientific and rational the strategy of modern living. This detail also cooperated fully in paying tribute to the Lieutenant Seniors who received commissions in june. These are the facts in brief and to date. At this time, a year from now, con- clusive evidence as to the merit of this singular aggregation will be presented. 45 Gfczfu of 1' 945 1 46 President-Gene Wise Vice-President-Patsy Lapan Secretary-julia Gouda Treasurer-Frances Slattery Representative-Bernice Lippman Advisor-Mr. Luddy S me Jlbiiafuf TTENTION!

Drills, maneuvers, and similar duties took up most of our time, leaving us only a few hours for relaxation, during which we occasionally got a pass to go into town. A special privilege was granted to the Platoon Sergeants and the Privates to hold a dance for the whole camp at one of the canteens. This pro- vided a welcome diversion and both officers and men gave it excellent support. The atmosphere created by this affair was soon dispersed by the necessity of preparing for our rigorous exams, which would determine whether we deserved to remain in our present rank. The results proved our preparation well worth- while, however, for we all retained our positions. Our abilities were further proved by the successful accomplishment of a secret mission, the outcome of which was determined at Stunt Night before an assembly of the whole camp. After this event, our daily pattern of life was resumed and we directed our efforts toward acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary for pro- motions to a higher rank. 47 GZQ44 of 1946 fr?- 4 8 President-Mary Benedetti Vice-President-Fred Bressette Secretary-Barbara Conroy Treasurer-Louise Zabaunik Representative-Esther Green Advisor-Miss Beth Weston 4 alfiiicvuf NDUCTEES! Twenty-six from all parts of the state, seeking entrance to the S.T.C. training grounds. Private lst Class james Sinderman was their leader and he found them malleable material, responsive to his commands. Their superiors, the sophs, found them less malleable as they underwent the initiatory endurance tests, for they emerged a Wise-r little bunch of buck privates but un- subdued. In order to demonstrate to the ardent upper-class character-builders their ingenuity, field efficiency and general all-around handiness, the b.p.s held Hal- lowe'en maneuvers in appropriate season. The first part of the evening was devoted to a mild toughening-up program, designed to make any soph long for truce, but so much fun was provided for the rest of the affair that all was forgiven. On the Mountain Day hike these valiant youngsters marched in the hot sun for miles, through dense forests, up peaks, down cliffs ...... and all this without the slightest drop in morale. As their company began to shape up into a well-trained group, they felt the need of a little relaxation. They combined forces with the sophs to brief and execute a brilliant dance at the Richmond Hotel, when they were acclaimed the heroes of the hour. The Christmas season found them a lonely little troop, far from home and family, but the annual furlough restored their spirits and bolstered their morale so that they were able to meet action on the scholastic line, exams. From their ranks rose two who won honor positions on the Commander-in-Chief Bowman's merit list and brought tears of pride to the eyes of the faculty. Stunt night found them at the mercy of a brigade of lively gremlins who tormented the studious freshmen. Apparently these gremlins later overran the whole school. 49 New fl' Gan Ee 7aU HE BUREAU of Vital Statistics recently conducted a poll among students of S.T.C. and at last can reveal these facts.

This capable group, realizing the necessity of keeping up the morale on the home front, so that the stepped-up war curriculum might be maintained, organized the Taconic Hall Service Club, open every Friday night to all the companies on the campus. Here were seen and enjoyed the best of entertainments. The staff, too, undertook a patriotic duty of financial assistance to the war effort. One of the steps taken towards this goal was the urgent sale of war stamps, a unified drive carried on efficiently and effectively by selected officers. The army of students felt the need and value of such a drive and rose in a body to meet the call. Under the supervision of the council and one of the chiefs-of-staffthe P. X. fBook Storej again offered first rate supplies to the reserves. As usual, it proved to be the most popular place on the campus at the beginning of each new basic training period. The tactics for the defense program of the year had to be manipulated very carefully and tactfully so that everyone might share in their planning. To meet this perplexing problem, a general meeting was scheduled for every third Tues- day of the month. During this discussion all reserves voiced their opinions, suggestions and criticisms. This was most helpful in solving the weighty prob- lems, for everyone felt at liberty to offer helpful advice and in so doing aided the council in executing the orders of the day. 53 7fA14.,4. 54 W.A.A. OFFICERS President-Elizabeth Meade Vice-President-Aline Kernahan Secretary-Barbara Mackenzie Treasurer-Muriel Marquay Head Qf Sports-Geraldine Stanton W2 A. A. VERY reserve, from yardbird to General, needs mental relaxation from duties occasionally, in order to keep her work effective. The W. A. A. is a group of feminine relaxees who are proficient in this art. They offer an all-round sports program which includes games for all types - the non-muscular, slightly muscular, and super-muscular. To insure the validity of this program, three selectees were sent to Framing- ham in order to secure first-hand knowledge of what other camps were doing to keep physically fit. These came back impressed with the idea that a sound body as well as a sound mind was needed for carrying on the war effort. Although no signs of hypertrophy have since appeared, Little muscles are fast to bigger muscles growing. Mountain Day found the W.A.A. part of a searching Party realistically experi- encing some of the feats performed daily by our forces in New Guinea and the jungles of Panama. Although a bivouac for the night was feared necessary, success was obtained before darkness fell. This organization also contributed its bit to the Service Club performances and some Commando action was seen here in the tracking down of the Scaven- ger in the Scavenger hunt. The troops of S.T.C.N.A. have derived from this club many benefits which can be used in fighting the battle on every front. 55 M14.14. 56 President-Jerome Green Vice-President-Pete Holbrook Secretary-Treasurer-Charles Bartlett Advisor-Edmund Luddy M.A.A. Company S. T. C., Batallion M. A. A. reporting: E WERE called to active duty September, 1942. After due consultation and deliberation we joined forces with those of the women's division, the W.A.A., to form the Outing Club. This enlargement of the troops enabled us to carry out several effective and successful campaigns, during which many miles of land were taken and many bowling pins were forced to admit defeat. This joint club did not prevent us from acting as a single unit. On the basket- ball field, though unaided and almost alone, we showed much valour. At the Friday night entertainments of the Service Club we showed our ingenuity and loyalty to the Camp by always providing for refreshments. We have always taken active interest in every drill and maneuver of the S. T. C. Campus. Our outstanding feat of the year was our benefit entertainment given at the Service Club. We kept the W.A.A.'s under a constant shell bombardment of wit and humor. This campaign was the major triumph of the year. From this account it can be deduced that batallion M.A.A. has carried out and performed successfully all its operations, both on the home front and abroad. 57 Qlee em Wa ew, President-Geraldine Webster Vice-President-Alice Galusha Secretary-Treasurer-Ruth Sullivan Librarian-Josephine Cerpovicz Advisor-Lillian E.

Activities for the most part have consisted of long hours of drill and in- spection in preparation for appearances, such as the Friday night camp show, the part in the Christmas Candlelight Pageant. 2. Reconnaissance at several assemblies for the purpose of determining the best means of attacking the audience. 3. A requested tour to delight the many clubs and organizations in and around North Adams. 4. Concentrated training in the months of February and March for the annual spring concert-which was a success and brought honors to the singers and their leaders. Our principal objectives accomplished, we close this report and await assign- ments in U.S.O. camps anywhere in this world-and we mean anywhere in THIS world. 59 fbaama 60 President-Wfilliam Molloy Vice-President-Eleanor Morrison Secretary-Ruth Sullivan Advisor-Mary Underhill DRAMA CLUB HE DRAMA Club hesitates to use the term offensive in connection with the season's campaign, but on the other hand they have never needed to be on the defensive concerning their tactics. Like the U.S.O. and other organizations of its kind, the club frankly admits its worth as a morale-builder. Any man's army needs entertainment, and especially, good entertainment. The Friday night skirmish put on by this group at the Ser- vice Club was no dimout in regards to fun and frivolity. In February they present- ed a highly visionary one-act play called Right About Face, which was so far ahead of its time that men fainted and strong women turned pale as they viewed the world of the future. When taken on the road and given for a local organiza- tion, it met with great success. The dust of battle had barely settled when the club began work on a colossal intra-mural undertaking late in the spring. Surely they are a dauntless group, whose middle name is Hard work. 61 eufuzenfl' gaenlld efud President-Rodney Card Vice-President-Evelyn Hampel Secretary-Rita Rosch Card Advisor-Edmund Luddy 62 CURRENT E VENTS CLUB HE Current Events Club serves as official War Bureau of Information for S.T.C., and as such, they make every effort to obtain firsthand news of world events and disseminate it among the students. The club introduced to the student body Professor Cru of the Williams faculty, who gave us an up-to-the-minute explanation and prophetic opinion on the activities of the Free French. Exciting news from abroad reached us through Charles H. Parker as he described realistically and from personal experience the situation and circumstances of Allied prisoners of the japanese. This year of fcensoredj the club instituted a reception in honor of the fresh- men, that they might view the plans for the year and be encouraged to join the forces with the older members. On an eventful and significant Friday evening, a new front was opened up in the social room at Taconic Hall, as we listened to correspondents from abroad, giving the inside story from the great cities of the world. Our activities did not halt here for the members verbally assaulted each other over various war problems while Mr. Luddy tried to plan the peace. 65 Jfawie 60-Mlldd 6 President-Shirley Crompton Vice-President-Alice Beaudreault Treasurer-Etta Burghardt Advisor-Stella Reynolds HOUSE COUNCIL Reports From the Council of Behavior Tactics of Taconic Hall ARLY in the winter an endurance test was given the enlistees to ascertain their ability to withstand sub-zero conditions. The call to fall-in was given at 6:30 A.M. and the ranks, breakfast-less and scantily-clad, marched to the nearest exit to take up positions on the fire escape. After a period of exposure in the rather cold-ish wintry dawn, the troops returned to quarters. Remarkably few casualties were reported. During the annual barracks Christmas party their excellent stamina was ob- served when a surprise black-out took place. All rules and regulations were carried out expeditiously. The sociability and comradeship of those in the barracks have been unexcelled. The Valentine supper and dance given to the navy cadets was such a success that several of our members have been in demand at Williamstown ever since. The girls, that same evening, showed great fortitude in withstanding gnawing hunger when mess was delayed, and displayed rnuch vitality in the field of the dance. Because of military caution, all the facts concerning this affair cannot be given out at this time. Military courtesy has been given special emphasis this year. General Reynolds held half hour classes every Monday evening so that all, from lowest to highest in rank, would be prepared to face any situation which might arise. We gently fan the dying embers of the social amenities in this dark age. This record is submitted as proof of an active, profitable year. 65 aaa Each 5144! Editor-Norma Blanchard Literary Editor-Shirley B. Crompton Photography Editor-Lucile Parsons Business Managers john McManama Rodney Card Advisors Mary Underhill Andrew Flagg 66 may LTHOUGH the yearbook does not compare with the Kodiak Bear, the magazine ofthe American troops in Alaska, or the Stars and Stripes, the daily paper of the American troops in England, in circulation or coverage, we can say that our publication like theirs is meant for a special public and like theirs our articles and pictures have been selected because they are what our readers want. Since the class of '45 is relatively few in number, a new system was used in organizing the staff and getting the various tasks done. The department editors- Photography, Art and Literary-and the business managers acted as chairmen of committees. Every member of the class worked on one committee or another, and we mean worked! This type of organization was possible only because of the fine spirit of cooperation and persistence in the job to be done which the class exhibited. Special thanks are due to Mr. Flagg and Miss Underhill, our faculty advisors, for hours of patient work. 67 SPECIAL DISPATCI-I FROM HEADQUARTERS INCE Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, the students at S.T.C. have been mobilizing, and we have seen action on several fronts. It is now possible to make public information concerning the work accomplished here. During the school year of '41-42 classes in First Aid and Child Study were organized. The class of '43 is proud to announce that every one of its members has passed the standard course in First Aid. A large percentage ofunderclassmen has also obtained certificates. Through the efforts of Miss Boyden, who made arrangements for a series of lectures by experts, we have all become authorities on the subject of The Care of Little Evacuees and Other Children. Many of the girls got some experience at the Saturday morning kindergarten which was held at Mark Hopkins School. Yards and yards of Red Cross yarn were trans- formed into sweaters and socks under Miss Weston's direction. That same year the student council became disbursement officers of a fund made up from the con- tributions of each club and class. They were able to purchase an operating lamp and oxygen masks for the North Adams Hospital. Some of the more rugged, healthy students answered the hospital's call for blood donations and others placed their names on the list of available donors in the event of an emergency. The autumn of 1942 saw an air raid drill which, under the direction of Mr. Luddy and his air raid wardens, was a model of efficiency and order. To prevent any serious lowering of morale, the students held an impromptu group sing as they huddled in their shelter. That same autumn also saw the men students busily ridding the attic and basements of the college buildings of all potential fire hazards and, with the guidance of the janitors, constructing snuffers and sandbags. A booth was set up in the corridor of the main hall and decorated by mysteri- ous brownies. Here Betty Phelps and, since March, Esther Green offer great bargains in war stamps. Do we regret to say that although a large number of stamps have been sold no profit was made? Some of the students were regular attendants at the evening War Problems Forums which were sponsored by the faculty committee fMr. Luddy, Dr. Broudy, Miss Durninj. In general the juniors passed out the pencils and papers for ques- tions, while the seniors and a few miscellaneous students tried to fill up the auditorium. They became so interested that they even asked questions. No mention is made here of the work of individual girls in boosting the morale of the boys in uniform. These girls were persuaded to sacrifice a whole evening in order to entertain at a buffet and dance a group of the naval air cadets stationed at Williams. Statistics are not available however concerning the num- ber of letters mailed to boys in the armed services or the number of hours actually spent trying to amuse and entertain those on leave. Questioned as to this noble work, one patriotic senior girl said simply, It was my duty. 68 4 mmap X ,uf-. sq 2523 'j lv331f .5 4 r. xZ2 ?gg 4 13 4' ME ,ix ,if WM , ,.,x .N 1-rfrs: Niue' Honors and Salutes HE YEARBOOK Staff wish to thank all those who helped to make our publication a success.
