'nl HIS has been a year of trying circumstances for both the National Government and the people of the United States. Naturally Mount Hermon also has been hit, hit hard. Wfith the pressing need of Army and Navy for healthy. well-educated college men, has Colne a feeling of disturbing uncertainty as to the status of many faculty members. ln spite of this. however. Mount Hermon has held up Well, proceeding with faithfulness and energy and in a thoroughly workmanlike manner to do its part in the training of men for the later vital tasks of reconstruction and peace. As students of Mount Hermon, we have passed through a demoralizingly turbulent and chaotic period. Many of us. having spent the first three years in the comparative tranquillity of a nation at peace. have awakened with a jolt in this our Senior year, to the grave uncertainty of the future. Soon the gates of Hermon will have opened and closed behind us as students. Une period of our life completed, we shall stand ready to enter a new, a vital, a momentous phase. The memories of Hermon, however. can never be obseured from us by a mere physical de- parture from its beautiful campus. A place in which we llave niade numerous friendships, ef many to be life-last- ing. - cannot drift from our memory like a mere whisp of smokeg it must and will stay with us through all later experiences. Wie feel that the Class of l9f1-2 symbolically marks the end of one road and the beginning of another. The good fun. the experience. and the fellowships gained during our last year. f all these will shortly be behind us. but the very memory of our Senior year will remain with us forever. It is to perpetuate this memory that we offer the l942 QQATEWAY. 57 ' -Irfml xl 'f 3 l!fl3g,-25?Qj5ZJf.1l'u'..ffg::'1?W 4 1 V i2fQ till,-. '- 5 -' , .Li l 1 !
