omvuord . . . THIS IS YOUR BIJOU .... YOUR BOOK-OF-THE-YEAR .... A RE- VIEW OF PAST PLEASURES; A PREVIEW OF FORTHCOMING FUN .... READ WHAT INTERESTS YOU .... DO WHAT YOU WISH WITH THE BOOK .... BUT, HANDLE WITH CARE, BECAUSE SOME DAY YOU WILL FIND IT A VALUABLE AND AMUSING RELIC .... TUCKED IN ITS PAGES ARE FRAGMENTS OF YOUR HAPPIEST MOMENTS .... FOR THIS IS OHIO WESLEYAN, 1943-1944 .... AND YOU WERE PART OF IT ... . THIS BOOK IS YOU IN TYPOGRAPHICAL TIN- TYPE .... OHIO WESLEYAN, 1943-1944, HAS BEEN A DIFFERENT WESLEYAN .... ITS TRADITIONS HAVE GIVEN WAY TO A NEW WORLD IN WHICH WAR IS THE KEY-WORD .... TO KEEP WITH THE PACE OF THESE CHANGING TIMES, OUR UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN REMOD- ELED ALMOST OVER-NIGHT .... STILL IT HAS CONTINUED TO KEEP ALIVE THE SPIRIT WHICH IS ETERNALLY WESLEYAN . . . . THIS NEW WESLEYAN BROUGHT ABOUT BY WORLD WAR TWO IS A TEMPORARY THING; ONE WHICH WE, AS ALUMNI, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND WHEN WE RETURN TO OUR ALMA MATER IN FUTURE YEARS .... BUT WE WILL WANT TO REMEMBER THE YEAR THAT WESLEYAN WENT ALL OUT FOR THE NAVY .... WE WILL WANT TO REMEMBER HOW ALL OF US, COEDS, V-5 ' S, V-12 ' S AND CIVILIAN MEN WORKED TOGETHER TO PRESERVE THE IDEALS FOR WHICH OUR COUNTRY IS FIGHTING .... IN THESE PAGES WE HOPE YOU WILL FIND THE NEW WESLEYAN, MIRRORED IN THE LIVES OF THE CIVILIAN STUDENTS AND THE NAVY MEN .... WE HOPE YOU WILL BE PROUD OF YOUR SCHOOL ' S FLEXIBILITY, AS IT REMAINS A VITAL PART IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS, BE IT IN WAR OR IN PEACE. g44 BETTY TARGETT . . . Editor • CHARLES RICHEY . . . Bus. Mgr.
