 JN THE COVER of this booklet is imprinted the word Aegis , and the year 1943 . 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.
