zedc'cm'c'cm IT IS A HOLY AND WHOLESOME THOUGHT TO PRAY FOR THE DEAD. i2 Mach. 12:43t In taking Roll, we note an absence here and there along the line. Perhaps the individual silence manifested by ones we come to know and cherish in former days at Siena is, in itself, readily passed over in our individual pursuit of personal ambitions. However, collectively, these manifestations must be heeded, for they are of such magnitude that mortal man cannot honestly deny them. It is true that the heroic sacrifices of our fallen Sienese are remembered daily on the Campus in the Masses and prayers of the Faculty and student body in our efforts to speed them to the eternal rest that they have so right- fully merited. A sense of moral inadequacy prompts the question, Is this enough? Does this fulfill our obligation to them? Intellectual and moral honesty allows for but one answer, NO. We have a heritage, so to speak, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness-we have it because they gave their lives to insure this gift of God. Thus, we are obligated to them to live justly cmcl harmoniously with our fellow men in the realization of our eternal destiny. Only in this manner can we pay our debt to Sieno's Valiant Corps. To them, we dedicate our edition. William Allendorf Philip Bishop Frank J. Borell Leroy Burke Robert Butch Terence Crombley Eugene Damn John Devine August Dinova William Dugon Edward Duncovich 1377!

Fr. Mark Kennedy, O.F.M. President When Father Mark came to Siena in September, l943, as President of the College, registration was fall- ing to its lowest ebb as a war casualty. Nevertheless, Father Mark carefully guided and nurtured Siena through these slim years until today it has surpassed any past experience with further growth readily in sight. In Father Mark every student of Siena has an under- standing friend with whom he may chat, or from whom he may seek advice at any time, whether it be in his office or about the campus where he is so often seen walking. As alumni, we will still feel that we have in Father Mark a constant friend upon whom we can depend in time of need. Fr. Cyril McGuire, OFM. Vice President Father Cyril McGuire, O.F.M. came to Siena College in September of 1938 in the capacity of Vice President of the College. The Graduating Class will well remember him for his Old and New Testament Classes. While still Vice President, the night students will remember him as the Moderator of Sigma Omega. During the war years Father Cyril was transferred to St. Francis Friary, where he held the position of Secretary to the Provincial, but he returned to Siena College in l946 to fill the vacancy he had left. He is well known to all the Seniors for his guiding hand and is held in great esteem by all the students. Page 7
