Centenary College of Louisiana - Yoncopin Yearbook (Shreveport, LA)

Centenary ' s heroes of the past gaze down from on high upon the college they once left to wield a flashing sabre in 1846, to shoulder the first modern rifles in 1860, to man the first rapid-fire guns in 1898 and follow the wobbly course of the first tanks in 1917. From their thrones of Eternity these past heroes watch with silent pride as Centenary ' s men and women march again to battle for their country — this time to war on wings where men ' s souls and a nation ' s heart are being tried as never before. The accelerated speed of death and destruction is matched with a new flow of patriotism and courage from a college whose people have never failed in crisis and once again Centenary sends its forces to the front, to posts behind the lines, to the plants of production. If voices could come from those Centenary heroes of other wars, the words would be : Well done, well done — as always. In humble tribute to those who march today, in reverent memory of those who marched before, and in supreme confidence that those of the present will keep faith with the past by preserv- ing the future, this 1942 Yoncopin is dedicated. 9 4 2 it • •

With the exception of the two years, 1863 and 1864, students have entered this institution in times of war and peace for one hundred and seventeen years. Above we find a participant of the Candle- lighting ceremony, symbol of the Christian ideals upon which the college was founded. At the right is the Arts Building, where the college library and offices of the administrative staff are located. Here is where registration takes place, as is indicated by the picture at the lower right corner.
