are r!? Five hundred strong, the Class of 1945 began its career at Boston College with its first Mass of the Holy Ghost in September, 1941. Week after week of class fled into eternity as Forty-Five ' s educa- tion in the arts and sciences progressed. December 7, 1941, came to break the tradition. Singly and in groups, the men of Forty-Five left the College, interrupting their education to go where glory awaited them on the battlefronts of the war. As the long-expected day of graduation approached — eleven months prematurely — twenty-eight of the original five hundred remained to receive degrees. These represent the thin line of Forty-Fivers on the home front who have kept the scholastic tradi- tion of Forty-Five alive.

Cashman, McEntee, Cavan, Cancelliere O la 5 5 rtld ton ¥ It was one of those gray, misty, typically Boston days and you found yourself walking across Boston Common with nothing much in particular to do. So you were coming to the end of your college career. You had almost finished what tradition told you were supposed to be the best and happiest days of your youth. Well, they were, weren ' t they? Hadn ' t you found out that B.C. had snuggled into its own corner of your heart ? You know, sometimes it ' s lots of fun just to reminisce, to wander back over the years spent at the Heights. Then you are surprised to see how vividly you recall the little things that made a college something more, that made it really Alma Mater. There was your Freshman year when you were one of the members in that largest of classes ever to enroll at Boston College in September, 1941. After a week ' s orientation, you started the ac ademic year with the Mass of the Holy Ghost. Then came your first formal classes in college. You wandered around the Gothic-studded campus in bewildered, traditionally gullible amazement. What was it all going to be like? Well, you soon found out it wasn ' t going to be all orientation. Your high school minds were shocked at first by confusing titles of text books
