“Freemen Shall Stand” When our country needs men to do some great job, the colleges of our nation rise quickly to offer the cream of America’s youth. These young men have the necessary qualities of leadership and quick clear think¬ ing, broad training, and matchless courage that make the armed forces of the United States the most dangerous man-for-man army in the world. When the call went out for men, S. T. C.’s response was hearty. Of three hundred thirty men students who have enrolled in S. T. C. since its opening, already over one hundred twenty-five have entered the armed services of the United States. A great number of our present students are in the enlisted reserve of the Army, Navy, and Marines and may soon be wearing the khaki and blue of our services. We may be justly proud of our stalwart record. All of the armed forces are represented by alumni of S. T. C. Many are in the Army Air Corps. Another large force has chosen the Navy and Naval Air Corps in which to sen e their country. A few are in the Marine Corps; a smaller number are Flying Marines. Two have entered the Naval Academy to become future officers. The women’s forces have not been neglected, for our college can boast at least one representation in both the WAACS and the WAVES. In honor of our fighting alumni, S. T. C. now prominently displays a plaque contain¬ ing the names of all of them. We print with pride the list of those risking their lives for their country. Hugh Smith, Elizabeth Williams, Samuel Colgain, James Hyde, George Reaves, Wilson Duncan. For the peace and security of our nation, for the ideals of our great democracy, men from S. T. C. have gone forth to play their part in battle. As they take with them the influence and guidance given by their Alma Mater, so we keep here their memories and a faith in their ability to do a hard task well. 2 3
