A These three arc typical of thousands throughout the country who are the embodiment of the intangible forces present in the lives of the young men of America. 5. 3 l l l l l 1 l In America Toda YES, IN IDAHO, THERE IS A SPIRIT, A DE- termination, and a faith in evidence, the kind which made this land of ours what it is. Young men of America, of Idaho, and of Idaho State College have this spirit, determination, and faith. It is a part of them, and they believe in it. A decade ago a great war was in progress. A war for the survival of the American way of life. These men, many then boys, fought this War, they and many like them. Their lives were interrupted and life's plans postponed. They fought to the ends of the earth. Some did notlireturii They saw other peoples, other lands, other Ways of life, and their belief and faith in freedom grew. To each came a conviction and de- termination to succeed, to make a place in the world for themselves. They came hack, matured in mind as well as body, a generation older than its years. Several years the elders of their classmates, they flocked to college class- rooms throughout the land. Time was short, knowledge unlimited, but purposes sincere. Interested mainly in assirnilating that knowledge, .finishing school, and be- ginning a normal existence, they seldom took part in outside activities on. the campuses. Insufficient funds forced most to work at part time jobs, and yet their determination, their firm belief in themselves and their land incessantly motivated them. They established scholastic records, hnished the required number of hours in less than normal time, and graduated. However many of these men, .desirous as they were of this attain- ment, did not sacrifice happiness, or deter their progress toward a fullness of life. Most GI's in school were married and began raising families long before gradu- ation. Wives worked while husbands attended classes. The men worked when and where they could. The desire to vnalze good, the spirit of the times, the determinations' to complete a thing once started, and the faith they showed in fl36IlZSCl1!6'5, their fntizre, and their native land, all ht'ca111e a part of their indiviflual successes. , This desire, spirit, determination, and faith typifrd 'most graphically in this group are injcfvting new lift' and vigor into Arnerica and its way of life. Idaho will share in these lasting attaimnents accom plishea' by these intangible qualities of the young men of Auztwicrz.
