In the days when the Old Romans bandied this particular word about, they meant something concerning a shield, some sort of protection against the buffets and blows of the world. We at Seattle College have used this word as a title for our yearbooks, our banners upon which were emblazoned what we were. Our yearbooks have unfortunately become casualties of this war; but we still have our shield. Looking at the next few pages, you will see the class of 1943, the second class to graduate into a nation at war, the first class to be entirely involved in the war before graduation. At the top of each page of seniors is the face and extracurricular history of one member of this class who chose to designate his willingness to serve long before his graduation from Seattle College. They are the Army, Navy or Marine Corps Reserves of the Class of 1943. They and those others of their classmates who will enter the service later or who will work for victory at home, have the powerful, the well-nigh invincible shield of Seattle College. They have four years of teaching from the master teachers of all time. They have four years of friendship with the finest student body and faculty in the country. They have had whatever has been necessary to their education, scholastically and socially, scientifically and morally. They have their Aegis, their protection against whatever enemies they may meet, as has everyone who has been at Seattle College. This then is the Senior Class, the class of 1943. They will follow other graduates of the College to heroism, to success, to fame, and, if God will it, to death. But they will be proud of having taken part in Seattle College and they will always have their shield. 8 President .... Robert Swart - James T. Mitchell Vice-president .... James T.

That system, existing as it has for four centuries, has proven itself time and again in the crucible of cold, hard experience. Past graduates of schools operated by priests of the Society of Jesus in every country have taken their places in the business and professional world and have more than vindicated the Jesuit system. The Jesuits can point with high and justifiable pride at those graduates. In law, in medicine, in diplomacy and engineering, in the arts and in the sciences, and in the all-important business of living according to the eternal laws of God, Jesuit students have always found themselves in the forefront in any community in which they settle. This year's graduating class, fully cognizant of the tradition that goes before them and faced with problems never before encountered by young men and women leaving college, will deal with those problems as Catholics should and will follow the tradition so richly formed by their older brothers and sisters. The exigencies of modern warfare, with the ever-present spectre of death, sudden death, are understood by these graduates. No fear of what comes after? will ever confuse these students; there is no troublesome, nagging doubts in their minds as to what will happen to me after death? ; the ghost of the Epicurean, with his denial of reward and punishment, can never haunt their minds. Trained to reason coolly, carefully, completely, these men and women walk out upon an illogical world armed with the lance of knowledge and the shield of faith, weapons given them by their friends and teachers in the Society of Jesus. The Jesuit tradition: it is a tradition replete with comforting examples of virile sanctity; it is a history carrying with it the spiritual strength of an Ignatius, the zeal of a Xavier, the wisdom of a Bellarmine. These men, members of the Society of Jesus, have served as living, tangible models for the class of 1943. Such examples of courage and faith must inevitably result in a strengthening of resolution on the graduates' part. Soon, the graduates move out from Seattle College's protecting halls. Some will begin their training in the armed forces of their country; others will go into defense industries; some of the graduates leave soon, or have already left, for medical school. All move from The College with a deep sense of reverence for their flag and their cayse: a direct result of the Jesuit scheme of studies. Former students of Seattle College or any Jesuit college will have little fear for this year's class. Morally, physically, spiritually as well as intellectually these seniors have been steeped in the Jesuit Ideal. Right living, right thinking, sane reasoning from firm premise to logical conclusion, all these processes are not mere academic timber designed to confound the Jesuit student. They are rather the fruit of carefully planned courses offerfed by the Jesuit priests intended to prepare the graduate for a complete life outside collegiate walls. Many difficulties will be met by this class, their teachers know. Moral, financial, personal vicissitudes cannot deter these students, however, for a solid education has readied them for the obstacles thrown up by a materialistic, Godless, sneering world. Cynicism, hatred, immorality will never seriously affect a man or woman who has behind him or her the broad tradition of the Society of Jesus and its former students. The Class of 1943 refuses to flinch. After soberly considering the state of the world today, it refuses to flinch. No meaningful danger can touch those who are right, who know they are right, and who glory in their ability to prove their rectitude. In a spirit of Ignatian fortitude, realizing the dangers about to be thrust at them and admitting the paradoxes soon to be met, these young men and women will move forward unhesitatingly under the banner of Christ. They will be comforted by the comforts of their holy religion and their strength will be as the strength of ten, because their hearts are pure . These, then, are the seniors. These are the newest recruits in the legions of Christ, their Leader. 23
