omrades in rms The American Vocational Association has said: ' War has brought out in bold relief the critical importance of the lathe operator, the farmer, the engine mechanic, the housewife, the assembly line worker - all men and women producing the necessities of war. When victory comes, the men and women in Coveralls can occupy their rightful place with the men and women in uniform as those who have given their strength and sweat for the cause of democracy. Vocational education is the medium through which millions of these soldiers of the production lines have learned to discipline their minds and hands so that we have mort and better food and our weapons of war are faster, tougher, more maneuverable, and have fire power superior to Axis equipment. Vocational education comprises the teacher, the administration, the coordinators, the janitors as well as the representatives of labor and manage- ment. Whatever of lasting benefit has come through vocational schools in this war is a tribute to these men and women. We here at Tech feel that every technical job we learn to perform with skill, every class we attend which teaches us to think and judge accurately, is contributing to our full development not only as efficient soldiers of a tragic war but as courageous builders of a just peace. Our world looks to us as fighters, more important it entrusts to us the shaping of another world which will be built upon our technical knowledge as workers, upon our civic knowledge as citizens. Tech is important to us now, it will be our guide and strength in the days to come. PAGE 2

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their countryg but he that stands it now. deserves the love and thanks ol man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered, yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph, What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly, it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it would be strange indeed il so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated. fThomas Painej To those young men and women of Tech who, in this time ol crisis, are giving gallantly and freely ot their lives and spirit we reverently dedicate this book.
