EUES TU WflH,..f r ffllzf' C1111111 fu ufgfiiluzfvf Ciifyfgl' ln nineteen hundred and forty-three the reality of war clamped down upon our nation and rode our backs like the old man of the sea. Its poisoned tentacles seeped even into the relative peace and calm of our campus life and dragged us unto itself. One can hardly ignore a war that not only moves into one's house, but moves one out of it. Our campus has been reconstructed into a war production plant just as have most of the factories in our nation. The very buildings have been com- mandeered. The physical education course is no longer mere recreation. It toughens up men who will soon be going to all parts of the earth in all conditions and who must be Physically fit to meet those conditions. The col- lege program has been speeded up. Pre-meds now make the four year stretch in three. The mathematics and science departments receive more at- tention, for Uncle Sammy can use boys and girls trained in these fields. The plea of the XVAVIQS and WAACS for women trained in foreign langu- ages, English, physics,-yea even train- ed in anything-gives an impetus to in- terest in college work. No matter who you are or what you are studying it has developed that Uiffli- Sam 11eei1't Vynll. But in spite of all the change and conversion into war-time exigencies, Howard College still maintains her firm belief in and hope for the XVay of Peace, and Truth, and Light. XVe ply our hands to the tasls about us, but we lift our hearts to the dream that is tomorrow. '75-M4463 ,
