CL. In these pages The 1945 Bonhomie has attempted to catch the spirit of the students in their life on the campus, and to recreate it as clearly as possible in pictures and prose. This year the girls went back to Montague, and the boys returned to Geer. Furman had the largest women’s student body in its history. The draft continued to call Furman men into the service, yet, the number of men students was larger than that of last year. The Furman University $2,000,000 bund Campaign was launched under the direction of President Plyler. A few of the boys who had Been in service returned to classes. Increased interest in student activities resulted in the reorganization of several clubs. Although indications are that Furman is gradually beginning to return to normalcy, the students on both campuses are aware, perhaps as never before, that a war is on and that the day of victory is still in the future. It is the purpose of the 1945 Bonhomie to show by pictures that in spite of the war, Furman students still have that intangible something we call school spirit. Our memories of this year will be focused on a deeper appreciation of Furman spirit, a clearer insight into our lives and ideals, and a more determined hope that peace will come soon and that our ideals will be high enough to make it a lasting peace.
