ORE GRD Nineteen-hundred forty-five and forty-six mark the year of victory in Wcmrld War II and the general return of America to more peace time pursuits. In like man- ner the period has been a more normal period in the history of The Mercersburg Academy. In presenting the fifty-third volume of the KARUX, the Board has sought to picture the return against the background of the war years, years of uncertainty, elation and sorrow, defeat and victory.
