The average freshman coed, wide-eyed end open-mouthed, ter- ribly impressed with the vostness of the University, and bursting with enfhusiosm. Her enthusiasm is re- layed to the folks bock home through her letters, in which she de- scribes life at ' Boma.

DEDICATED h OUR MOTHERS AND DADS They put us on the train and we ' re pretty sad at having to leave them. But in a few days after we get to school, we forget how sod we were to leave home. They sit back at home in the evenings, and they talk about us and wonder what we ' re doing and how long they ' ll have to wait this time before we write. They figure up how many days it will be until we ' ll be home. Then when we do get home, they let us have the car, knowing full well they won ' t see much of us until it ' s time to go back to school. On the surface, it looks as if we ' re pretty thoughtless, doesn ' t it? Perhaps we ore, but every now and then, we get a pong of con- science and try to express to those parents just how grateful we ore to them . . . how much we appreciate the opportunity they ' re giving us. It ' s with a bit of conscience that we dedicate the 1941 Corolla to the folks back home, the people who, after all, will always rank the highest in our estimation. To mothers and fathers everywhere . . . North, South, East, and West . . . wherever there is a family who waits for that letter from ' Bamo, the 49th edition of the Corolla is respecfully dedicated.
