DEDICATION... To those of our student body with whom we have lived during the past three years: to those with whom we have studied; those with whom we have frater- nized; to those with whom we have worshipped; those with whom we have engaged in all collegiate activities, curricular and extra-curricular; to those with whom we have experienced both laughter and sadness, joy and sorrow, those whom we have loved, and those who have loved us; to those young men of our number who have answered their nation's call to serve God and Country; those who are giving their happiness, their youthful vitality, and their life blood to preserve life, liberty, and democracy on the earth; to those former Hopeites, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty- four, dedicate our 1943 MILESTONE.

This past year has seen many changes on the American College Campus, and Hope College has been in no way an exception. We have seen our student body grow smaller week by week as approximately one hundred fifty men left their college studies to serve in the armed forces of our country. As members of the staff produc- ing this yearbook, we have endeavored to present these changes within the pages of this volume as they have affected our col- lege life throughout the past academic year. Producing a yearbook under these changing conditions has pre- sented its difficulties and trials—at the end of the first semester it was found necessary to reduce our plans considerably to con- form to such wartime exigencies; the business staff similarly experienced the consequences of these wartime circumstances. However, we have altered our layouts accordingly, and now present to you our revised War Edition of the MILESTONE- we hope you will like it. f THE EDI'FORS
