as their chosen line of work examined themselves in the light of the new situation and either joined the armed forces or declared for 4 ' D classifica ' tion. Unquestionably patriotic, all Augustana men fight for Victory and for Peace. But some who are not well acquainted will ask: What of the women of present ' day August ana? From air ' flight nurses on the front lines to those in lowest Freshman ranks the girls of our Alma Mater stand loyal and true. News and letters from those in the front lines tell of a work of sympathy and service much needed and well done. As for those on our Campus we need only look about us to see the earnestness and seriousness which fill every life. In unity of purpose, in performance of every duty, in pre- servation of high ideahsm Augustanals womanhood carries nobly her part in the war that is for Victory and for Peace. The 68th College Training Detachment (Air Crew) is a new and interest- ing addition to our College family. As the new flights arrive they gather in Chapel and are thus welcomed to Augustana. The kind of College we represent is readily understood and accepted. In daily drill, in the Hfe of the four barracks, in study with our regular profs , in library sessions as well as in social and religious associations they soon become one with us and enjoy it. One of them said not long ago: Say, I like it a lot here. This is the kind of a school Fd like to go to when the war is over. Enthusiastic- ally the Air-Cadets snap the right hand to the brow and join in the return of the salute that is for Victory and for Peace. Graduates and former students far and near! Bob Bergstrom ' s salute sym- bolizes your salute to us. Our desire is that this Rockety-I may constitute Augustana ' s return of the salute. May it assure you that just as you are taking our places in difficult and sacrificial service in defense and preserva- tion of civilization so we here at home seek to do our part in supporting you. Our prayer is that God may speed the day of Victory and of Peace. Until then, let us salute one another in the appropriate words of the ancient Mizpah: The Lord watch between thee and me, when we are absent one from another.

Au0ustam ipp Ketums the Salute By Dr. V. R. Pearson Early in November of this school year the Editor of the Rockety-I showed me the proof of the picture of Bob Bergstrom which you have just seen. At once I thought of the many students who have gone forth from Augustana to serve their country in the present confUct. Bob ' s picture symboHzes for me the greeting of them all. The determined facial expression, the forward look, the hand raised in salute — all convey the serious purpose which fills the heart and motivates the life of you who battle for Victory and for Peace. The history of the Rockety ' I is the history of a desire to depict current life on pur Campus. Augustana ' s third War-time annual follows out this tradi ' tion. The review of the incidents of day-in and dayout life as presented in these pages will aid you in revisiting your old Alma Mater and in rehving College days. As you turn the pages we hope you will feel that the effort and industry that go into the make-up of this edition are a reflection of our desire to return the salute. For we too are engaged with you in the fight that is for Victory and for Peace. At Augustana things changed rapidly after December 7, 1941. For the boys the great Decision meant disruption of college plans. Some of our men went immediately to the defense of the colors. Others, desirous of render- ing more specialized service, enhsted in the various training programs offered by our government. Still others, having previously considered the ministry
