5 ' '53- lvh'V5FFT- 'i.nf'3 Q 'fwom parm gm Dear fellow students, . Each year the senior class, the journalism, department, and the Chronoscope staff in particular is faced with the problem of finding a theme for the yearbook, This year our theme was handed to us, on a silver platter in the form of scores of requests from the fellows who aren't hanging around here anymore, and so we're call- ing this our V. . .- Mail Edition, as you've probably discovered if you're not blind. Our big trouble to get enough material to make a book of any sort, but we finally made it by glass plate insteafl of film wherever we could and cutting down on engraving by Eyhaving small in many cases. Last year we had very dignified' theme. This year our keynote is informality, and we don't want anybody to think that our flippant treatment of most things is meant to detract in any way from the grand job every organization has done in 43-44. Let's have just one ,serious thought before we get going on the fun. The number of gold stars on our seryice flag is growing so fast that we're not even listing the boys who have earned them for fear that byflune there will be others, and we wouldn't want any memorial to be incomplete. Lefs: remember, though, that for the gold star boys, and the blue star boys too, school days are over and let's try to appreciate our good fortune in being here-and in having a Chronoscope to record our happy hours.

We hope you won't feel hurt that your picture isn't included 'cause we couldn't use all your pictures even ii we had them. These were selected from those received the earliest be' cause they represent all three branches ot serviceg because they represent all three townsg and because land this is a mighty good reason? they looked as it they'd reduce and enqrave well. We are purposely omitting ratings since they'll probably be higher before you get the book. Yours till we can see you instead oi a picture, The Stall.
