We of '46 have watched the waging and the Winning of a war. Our college life has spanned the grim, dark, despairing days that bridge de- feat and victory. We have seen the disintegra- tion of the safe, solid world We knew, and We have watched the preparations for the building of a newer and safer world. We have seen the coming of peace-a word that was almost a fiction of memory. We have missed many of the good things of college life-the easy naturalness of nor- malcy--the social gaiety-a sense of security- the feeling of having plenty of time, having to pack alliof living into one crovvfded moment-the calrneconvietione that tomotrow will beediiferent from today only in minor de- tails and that the future holds only the bright glow of success and happiness. W lt isiunhappily true that we cannot back time-that once it -is lost it can never ibe regained.

most of us were able to preserve our ideals, our belief in humanity, and our faith in the future. But the gods at long last have been good to us! We of '46 have been given the oppor- tunity to see a year of peaceful campus life. We are grateful for it, and we have attempted to reconstruct a plausible pattern of peacetime college living. Few Earlham classes have faced greater obstacles, but despite our dwindling numbers since those first War days of '42, we feel some- ilgt' Susan fu. lu or how that we are closer-the result of being suddenly and collectively confronted with is- sues and situations for which we were not pre- pared and had never expected to meet. We feel that the story of Earlham's transi- tion from war to peace is particularly our own. We leave no mark of great achievement to our Alma Mater, but we assuage our grief at going with the comforting sense of having seen her through troubled days. and of seeing her now in the full blush of a bright new future. fire
