 ■M ----- fSS VJ[7 E. the Class of 1942, ’ ’ are stepping into a world facing stormy days ahead. Our country is at war. This is a struggle of two conflicting ideals—the supremacy of the state against the supremacy of the individual. Being opposed by treacherous foes, America must concentrate its efforts in assembling the greatest armada known to history. This power is not to be used for conquest, but rather for the protection of our sacred heritages—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Fellow classmates, our part is already cut out in this vast program. Many of us will serve soon in the armed forces, many will work in defense industries, while several will secure a better education to be utilized later. Whatever our part may be in this defense program, our watchword is SERVICE. O oAejuwAcl To this ideal our REDJACKET is humbly dedicated. Milton A. Phillips, Editor-in-Chief

Wake in our breast the living fires. The holy faith that warmed our sires; Thy hand hath made our nation free; To die for her is serving Thee. Oliver Wendell Holmes
