From the moment we arrived at Lake Forest College, we could not help but be struck with the sense that here was something which had emfzzred. Historic College Hall, standing tall and dark against the skyg the Institute with its dark walls mellowed with ageg the Gymnasium, like some brownstone Gothic castle, transported from centuries before. These all aided us, externally, in realizing some idea of the tradition ofthe school. And then, finally, when we had lived at Lake Forest, as we did the past year, we were impressed with the idea that traditional actions interwove a discernible pathway through our lives. These pictures represent the lzzzzgibfr phase of Lake Forest tradition. We all remember Homecoming, with the old alumns coming back and shaking hands, friendly in their greeting, Dad's Day was fun, too, when we were able to invite him down for a while, and show the guy who's paying the bills how we live, what we're getting out of this college life. Then, the Junior Prom, at the Morainne Hotel, with Tom Ramsey and Dude Blanchard officiating, and finally, the senior tree planting ceremony and the Senior Ball in the institute. There is a quietness, a serenity, a peacefulness that goes with tradition which is undeniable. No matter how frequently we imagine we would like to rebel against it, all of us must somehow realize that, without the roots, the security of age, there would be no foundation upon which to increase our understanding and build progres- sive actions.

New courses in meterology and WAR TAZK navigation as well as, first aid, shorthand and typing are included in the second semester schedule. We see our co-eds drop their angora socks and pick up navy and kaiki yarn to make sweaters and socks for our servicemen. And, we modestly admit we did our share in the Red Cross drive for funds. After a census of student opinion, we find that these are the most typical: Freshman class. jay W'ise speaks: lf we are going to win the war, there will have to be a great change in the attitude of the people of our country, because most ofthe people don't realize what is at stake. They don't realize what an Axis victory would mean to them. Sophomore class. Mary Ironside speaks: The present war is going to have a profound etliect upon the college students, the girls as Well as the boys. For the war is I1Ot only a war of manpower, but of womanpower. Its results will be widely found in the tendency to do away with sex distinction and woman will take her place in the business and economic world along with the men. junior class. Tom Ramsey speaks: Ultimate victory lies within the great man-power and natural resources of our own United States. The present danger lies in the fact that the American people do not yet realize that we are again engaged in a great conflict. Wie must be united in our all out war efforts. Senior class. Sherle Sass speaks: History is merely repeating itself. The cause of the war, as I see it is again the Fight for commercial supremacy. W'e can repeat the procedure and find in the years to come the same thing over and over again or we can once and for all take our righteous place as victors and lay down a peace that will justly affect all nations.
