As many of this class exhibited definite intell- ectual ability, it is not surprising that we now find many of them continuing their education while in the service. During normal times, some of these boys would not have had this opportunity for education. But now under the various specialized training programs of the services, they are being given brief and thorough training courses in tech- nical and scientific subjects in universities thru- out the nation. At Fort Knox, Kentucky, we find Pvt. Chester Klock under the army reserve tech- nical corps: at Syracuse University, New York, apprentice Seaman Tom Cavanaugh: at Knox College, Illinois, Pvt. Andy Klotniag at Dickenson College, Pennsylvania, apprentice seaman, Dav- id Rocheg and at the University of California, Ap- prentice seaman, Tom Sanford. These are but a few who have been given this added training for the future. This education will be a valuable asset to these boys in war and peace.

Reporting for Duty, Sir 'Nl - uk I 'git 'C 1 , .b , isifgg 455 S' t of 'x I X HLA!! 'W HAT has happened to the class of '43 since their gradua- tion one year ago? Where are they and what are they doing? These are fitting questions to be asked of a sen- ior class which graduated in the midst of war. For even before their education had been completed many of these youthful technicians had enlisted in various reserves and specialized training programs. Others awaited their conscription and now over seventy percent have been inducted into the various ser- vices. Correspondence reveals that these alumni have been scattered throughout the world in colleges and training camps on our continent and in the far flung outposts of our first lines. lnvariably they have praise for their intellectual training and urge that We devote ourselves with greater zeal to our studies. Little do they say about the hardships they have undergone, the friends they left behind. They have a job to do and they propose to finish it quickly. It is to these, our classmates of yes- terday, that We dedicate these pages of the Craftsman. Top Row---Frank Kallick, Iulius Wozek, George Heilmann, Herman Tawech, August Genge.

It is interesting to note the efficiency with which our technical students have adapted themselves to military life. Because of their unusual resource- fulness and knowledge of mechanics, we find many of them in services which require respon- sible, technically trained youth. For the machines of war are complicated mechanisms whose oper- ations are intricate processes. It is not suprising then, that so many of these boys should be sel- ected for such positions as that of Pvt. Art Drum- mond, who specializes in anti-aircraft artillery: Pvt. Bill Stefanu of the combat engineers: air cadet Melvin Friedlander of the army air corps' navigation division: Seaman Ioe O'Brien of the armed guards, and Seaman Frank Wos of the Fleet Sound school. Our files record the names of many others who have utilized their technical training similarly. Their services are vitally needed, and they are doing much to bring victory nearer. N x ,S-
