The Seniors of 1944 are the ones who can smile down at the bewildered Freshmen with under steuiding eyes and say — We knew Augie when ... They are the ones who know the true meaning of the theme Lest we forget. Seated upstairs in an overflowing balcony in the fall of 1940, they were allowed to catch a glimpse of what a real peacetime Augustana was like. They saw football games with brightly colored uniforms and crowds of peo ' pie and big chrysanthemums. They saw Homecoming floats on wheels and Vi-Kings and Vi ' Queens riding in style. They saw civilian fellows going to classes. Moving downstairs, first on the right side of the chapel and then on the left, they remembered yell-leaders like Davy O ' Brien, coaches like Shorty Almquist, football players hke Allison, Earl Anderson, and Hoglund, bas ' ketball players like Swede Swedberg, LeRoy Karlstrom, and Fred Staack, campus figures like Bartolomei, Gunboats Aronson, and Father Bauknecht. This year, the Seniors ended up in the middle section of chapel with a sadly depleted membership. Not only have the fellows been called to the far corners of the earth, but some of the girls have volunteered — Franny, Beech, and Edie Reller left for the Waves at semesters. No matter where they go, all will remember chapel . . . Student ' s Union Programs . . . Fra ' ternity Stags . . . Pledging . . . Hell Week ... a noisy Hbrary ... the Drug at Coke date time . . . L. S. A. meetings . . . Augie choir tours . . . the Victory Bell and a victorious team ... the Victory Bell and becoming a Coed . . . Ambrose rivalry . . . corsages . . . the W. A. A. Round-up . . . Wednesday musical programs . . . Out of this World. We who have remained to graduate will have our memories somewhat altered. We ' ll remember marching and singing cadets on the campus . . . the cafeteria meals . . . Ambrose full of sailors ... the Drug full of soldiers ... no formals ... a Round-up full of fatigue suits ... a football-less Home- coming ... the Service Roll in the library . . . gold lettering on the Service Roll. Though Augustana has been changed by war, there are always those things that will remain the same . . . Christmas caroling ... a snow covered campus ... the flag on the hill . . . the dome of Old Main ... the spire of the Sem Chapel . . . spring on thfe campus . . .
