What of the Year? A brave new year — a year of Victor} 7 — a year of new hopes and fears — the fall of ' 45 ! We came back to school with a song in our hearts and laughter on our lips. This was the year we had been waiting for ! Bill ' s coming home — didn ' t you know ? — Bob ' s home — Ray — Ted — Jack — Yes, they were coming home. We were happy. And so we went back to work. But we studied Shakespeare and thought about the new formal in Jonasson ' s window; we mixed our formulas in Chemistry and waited for nylons; we made charts for Sociology class and dreamed of the weekend at State. We liked our new den and remodeled offices ; we were proud of our expansion — so many new wonderful girls to uphold the traditions we held so dear. Yes, and most of all we were proud of our new President. We liked the way he talked with us and understood our problems — we felt contented and se- cure. We were growing by leaps and bounds and we loved it. This was the fall of ' 45 — full of brave hopes — but what of those fears ! We were set for a new world of peace. We had waited through the years of war. We had followed each ship from Guadalcanal to Tokyo and each tank from Casablanca to Berlin. We had waited patiently. Now it was over. [14]
