MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT RILEY We are again publishing the Agawasie under war-time conditions. This is the first school annual published since the war started that has been issued during the school year without the separate Navy Training Program in operation on the campus. 'This has been a very interesting school year, marking the first stage of the rebuilding process toward a normal student body, as represented in pre-war enrollment. The forty veterans of World War II attending school here have entered into school activities with surprising case and have added much to the enthusiasm of the student body. This Agawasie is the largest of our “war-time annuals” and is an excellent history and record of activities during the school year. I extend my congratulations to the editor and manager of the Agawasie, and to all members of the staff, for the valuable records of school events they arc preserving „y producing this annual.

MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR AANDAHL The North Dakota State School of Science is an outstanding institution, both in the quality and the type of work that it is doing. As we move into the re-adjustments of the Post-War period, there is going to be a growing demand for graduates of trade schools. I only hope that the facilities of our School at Wahpeton will be large enough to take care of the large number of students who will want that kind of training. It is a pleasure for me to have this opportunity to place my endorsement upon the fine work that you arc doing. As the years go by 1 hope and know that your Alumni Association will grow stronger and stronger, for its strength will be measured by the work that is done at vour institution. FRED G. AANDAHL
