Knox College - Gale Yearbook (Galesburg, IL)

FOREWORD yearbook should live up to its name. It should be in some measure a book about the year of cc if which it is a record in a particular institution. The effort that produced this Gale has been directed toward the recording of those things during the junior year of the Class of '42 which made that year an individual experience in the lives of the Knox Family. There are many things which go into every year - - - people, teams and clubs, certain activities - - - that are always part of the nine months we spend here in school. But these elements are not the same every year. There are new Phi Betes and football heroes, new cups on fraternity mantels. new rhetorical, Thespian, and social enterprises. In addition to these are the many unique events that make this year really different from other years. A selection of visiting celebrities becomes a distinct part of our lives during the course of the year. Progressive institutions such as artists-in-residence, house-mothers, and flying make the year alive with new interests. All these things, of which we will some day have fond recollections, must be recorded in Knox History. This Gale is one volume in a never-ending series which might be called an autobiography of Knox College. If this attempted record of the 1940-41 epoch of Knox does not fulfil the stated requirements, please accept the regrets of the editor. with her hope that the year meant enough so that you will remember it anyway!
