HIu (ttouutry, of O UR country, in which we have enjoyed peace and happiness, has been forced into the most dreadful war in the world’s history. It is our opportunity to give our country some of the benefit which we have received from it. Now that we are in the struggle it is our duty to be of the greatest possible use ' it is the men’s privilege to aid the country directly by fighting or by carrying on necessary business. The women’s part is equally important, as they can relieve distress, release men, and economize in many ways. We believe that the success of the war depends upon every individual doing his part. Are we prepared to do ours ? Do we yet appreciate how deeply the war must affect us? The Seniors of ’17 are likely to be the first class of South to be broken up by war. A year hence we may find our fellow students much scattered and in various occupations. If the past four years have been spent profitably we should have the fortitude to shoulder our small part of the world’s cares. It is difficult to realize that the boys whom we have known so well for four years may soon be on the other side of the ocean. They are glad to be old enough to be of use to their country. Although their task is hard, in many ways it will benefit them. When they are no longer needed and return to enter college or business they will have experience behind them which will make them better prepared for serious work. We cannot help thinking of those who will never return. They will have proved themselves worthy of the land which our forefathers so stanchly defended. Our boys are just as patriotic as ever, and the emergency is all that is needed to bring out their manly qualities. 8
