SEMORS ☆ As sudden as an equatorial sunset the last days of one’s college career becomes a reality. Into four short years have been crammed many happy hours that will be recorded in the memoirs” of youth. The class of 1946 have enjoyed their years at S.C. because they have opened new and colorful horizons for themselves and all. The beginning of the 1942-1943 school year saw the S.C. enrollment boom to a record high of almost 1500 students. The names of Freshmen highlighted the accounts of all school activities. With its aim to make S.C. an even greater name, the class of 1946 set itself forth as an example to incite school spirit. To meet the exigencies of war, many of the class of 46” were called into the service of their country in 1943. Enrollment suffered a great loss. But the breach was aptly mended and then as Sophomores, forged ahead to drive another golden nail in the rails to success. In their third year the class of “46 found more achievement in the re-establishment of intra-mural and inter-collegiate sports. Basketball took the limelight and fared well with the best players from among the Juniors. This year the Seniors, not content to rest on their laurels, have jeweled their crown by arduously promoting the pubication of the S.C. yearbook, the Aegis. In remembering the pure qualities of a truly educated man, one must realize that achievement is not solely of a material nature. So the student of S.C. about to graduate comes to the understanding that his training in the ways of true Christian philosophy has clothed him with a cloak of mail and covered him with a shield of wisdom. Thus, even though he be hurled into a maelstrom of vice and bigotry, his actions reflect the manner of a true child of God, his Creator and final achievement.
