S-73.1 ■ c-3 TO THE WAKE FOREST men who are fighting for their country, their world, and a better day: The student body of Wake Forest College in the spring of 1945 dedicates this book to all of you men and women who have in other times been members of this body but who arc now engaged in the tasks of World War IE Most of you we have never seen, but we feel that we know you because a few years ago. last car. last month you too were students at Wake Forest. You hurried into the same classrooms at the sound of the same bell, ' l ou joined the same fraternities, studied the same books, looked into the same mail boxes, bummed rides at the same corners.

Now you are the 2,81)0 Wake Forest men in uniform. You are generals and privates, commanders and gobs, leathernecks, coast guardsmen and merchant seamen. You march in deep snow. You fight in the steam- ing jungle. You watch endless da s crawl by at sea. You dodge enemy flak among the stars. We are frequently reminded of you when a draft board summons one of us to join you. We know that the story behind the headlines and the news flashes is your story. We know that m u who once like us complained of Spanish and algebra now have longer, harder assignments in courses you did not choose. You who once like us arose reluctantly for an 8:30 history class (or slept through it) now awake at dawn, or earlier, to make history. You who once ' like us laughed at the heroes and cheered the heroines on the screen in the local theater are the heroes and the heroines in a greater, sadder drama. We have two reasons for dedicating this book to you. One is that these pages may remind us in our smaller, safer sphere that you, wherever you are, are still a part of Wake Forest; the other, that this gesture may stand as a pledge between us here and you there that when the fate of the world falls into our hands, your courage and strength shall not be unmatched nor your sacrifice unavailing.
