FOREWORD ODAY, IN A NATION afrmed and fighting for her life and way of living, we are called upon to make apparent sacrifices that are essential to winning the war. RA TIONIN G-The Government pleas for cooperation with rationing, conservation of gas, rubber, s'ugar, coffee, shoes, and canned goods, and prevention of inflation. These are vital in the minds of our people. Our student life now has a certain added seriousness. The stepped-up tempo of tlze curriculu-ni, compulsory physical training, and outside work leave us students little time to waste. Many of us have received our notices to report for training after graduation and have seen friends desert civilian life for that of the services. In past years graduates either picked a vocation to follow and prepared themselves for a definite position of some kind when the opportunity arose, though it sometimes took several years, or were obliged to take the first position that was offered to them. This year work of all kinds is plentiful. Part of us will enter defense industries, filling clerical and machine positions. Mafny of us will go to the farm to assist with the operation of farm machinery during harvest. Those of us who do not enter some branch of the service will easily find work in the war effort. As each of us approaches graduation into this challenging world, we must pause to pay tribute to the courageous spirit of America which it is our privilege to share. May we cherish this spirit when we are called for our turn as the ones before us have done, and do our tasks as well as they. In liglzt of the things mentioned we, the seniors of 1943, dedicate this book as tlze United States Naval Academy did theirs, The Lucky Bag ' last year-- To peace which must be fought for from time to time. 2
