J. C. in War and Peace .. . “Let us buiid the Peace” has been the unspoken watchword of our year at Junior Coilege. This watchword remains a dominant part of our college spirit, even though the presence of World War Il has placed a heavy strain on college life. Naturally, all our activities were tem- pered by the war. The ilallowe’en hay ride, the skating party in De- cember, thesJ. C. Mixer in February, and the Open House in March all emphasized the difficulty of obtaining food and transportation. But we still had gay parties, substituting originality for luxuries of past years. Crowning our lightheartedness will be the J. C. Spread, June 12, at which we shall elect an Apple-Pie Boy and an Apple-Pie Girl. The small enrollment, largely girls, was almost lost amid the high school population, and we had to steal through the halls during class hours to avoid being trampled on by the ninth - graders. We were linked more closely together, however, and became a hard-working fam- ily, turning the halls into places of fun and laughter. Besides the usual college activities, the war called upon us to get in and fight. Each week, we purchased war stamps and bonds. Sewing and painting for the Red Cross, becoming blood donors, and collecting clothing were causes which we championed. One by one the college men were called into service, a greater sacrifice than most of us could vive. The laughter was often stilled by news of the death of an alumnus on the battlefield. Twenty-vine from J. C. have now given their lives. Nevertheless, we are attempting to plan the peace. In our weekly assenblies, for example, we have stressed post-war planning by fea- turing programs on such subjects as rehabilitation and inter - religious cooperation. To discuss these problems informally, we organized a I o- ruin, which studied the prospects of compulsory military training, re- ligion in the college, and what to do with Germany after the war. In addition, we actually had the privilege of welcoming several war vet- erans into the college systen. Thus, out of a war atmosphere, we have been looking towards the end of all wars. We join the nations of the world in our cry of “Let us build the Peace!” Crystal Morse and Carol Harbourne Sell AN INFORMAL FORUM MEETING war stamps to Sally Trombley, Milton Back row: James Clark, Dean Butterfield, Thomas, and Robert Woody at the new Crystal Morse, Ruth Mayer, Arlene Stein. red, white, and blue booth im front of the Front row: Nancy Hatch, chairman; Ruth office.
