REES H. HUGHES President The College yearbook represents an endeavor to portray in words and pictures the activities of the school year. It is of immediate interest to all who have been a part of the College during the year. It relates them in many ways to their associations and experiences. The yearbook also attracts former students. They enjoy reading new names and looking at new faces, now to be found in activities that they and their associates at one time filled. The yearbook is also added to the archives of the College and becomes an important record for the year. The 1944 KANZA has been prepared during a war year. Every phase of the college program has been affected by war and war-related activities. The Navy V-12 program will be reflected more extensively throughout the yearbook than any other war activity. Training students in the Navy uniform on a Kansas college campus really represents a new venture. The long list of names of former students of the College now in active military service, found on the pages of the book is also significant. Now that you have your KANZA, read it through. Have your college friends mark it up with many personal notations and comments and illustrations. Keep it where you can get it out and relive it occasionally. It will bring back happy memories and it will grow in value as the years go by.
