TRODUCTORY Believing that an annual should present to the student body the record of the year as they lived it, the staff of the 1944 Elms has attempted to portray an accurate and interesting account of the year 1943-1944 as unfolded on the Elmhurst campus. The history of the annual reveals a controversy between suc- ceeding staffs over the question of dedication and formality of style: one year favors a very formal style and sincere dedica- tion; the following staff holds that dedications are out of place in a yearbook and that no style should be allowed to cramp the creative genius of productive workers. We of the 1944 staff give you in this book a synthesis of these differences: there is a definite style as far as layout is concerned, but no belabored theme or over-solicitous dedication. To Lew Stoerker the yearbook is indebted for the patient manner in which he drew up the layout in spite of constant haranguing from the editors and admonitions not to exceed the budget. Likewise the staff realizes its good fortune in being able to use the beautiful views of the campus owned by the publicity department of the college. To our photographers Jerry Schram and J. W. Stoerker as well as to the DelMar Studios we owe a special expression of gratitude for their willingness to cooperate. To the numerous writers and other helping hands, an obvious thank-vou will be voted by the student body. Lastly, we extend our appreciation and thank- fulness to the Student Union without whose subsidy the Elms could not have reached its goal.

other treasured memory. To those Elmhurst men and women who were forced to leave their Hberal arts pursuits and serve their countrv in other capacities, we submit this annual as a graphic portrayal of what we who were privileged to remain in college did with that opportunity. For those of us who Uved the life depicted in the Elms we offer the book as a treasure-house of living memories, which, though not all pleasant, are what make college the important period of development that it is. To future students of Elmhurst and all our friends, we trust this annual may present a brief but thorough picture of the medley of events that is Elmhurst College.
