To THK MkmBERS of THE GRADUATING Cijvss of 1942: A grave and serious responsibility awaits those of you who graduate as the first W ar Class of the Second World War. Your responsibilities will be directed in many channels, and perhaps your faith in many unquestioned ideals will be shaken. Those of us who remain at Bloomsburg have con- fidence in you and your ability to meet that challenge. My best wishes for success go with you and it is my sincere hope that you will all find it possible to return frequenll to your Alma Mater. Cordially ours. John C. Koch. Dean of Men. To the Class of 1942: Four vears of college stretch ahead as a long time to the freshman. To the senior they seem all too short. Like the god of the Romans whose two faces could see in opposite directions, you are looking back over your college life but you are also looking forward to making a place for yourself in the larger world outside. We wish for vou the best of everything there. Come back often. You will always find a welcome at Bloomsburg. Happy landings! Marguerite Kerr, Dean of Women. 18

To THE Members of the Class of 1942: The past four eventful years have produced many changes in your lives. You have fortified your character by encountering and conquer- ing what at the time seemed to be unsurmountable difficulties. You have established many friendships, which as the years go by will be counted among your most cherished possessions. Furthermore, and significantly, you have integrated many of your experiences into a pat- tern of living — a pattern that should make your life continuously useful. Personally, I am thankful to have had at least a small part in lives so potentially rich. My sincere hope is that regardless of where duty takes you or how greatly you are lieset by evils and adversities you will continue to have faith in yourself, faith in your fellowmen, and abiding faith in your God. Sincerely yours. Dean of Instruction. 17
