Hie YANKS Edward Knowles Anthony Raisis Michael Maglio John Leganowicz Perhaps in the long hours of waiting for action that are so hard for every soldier to endure, some of the inci- dents of the college will pass before your vision. Maybe it will be the silly stunts you had to perform at your initia- tion or it might be some particularly enjoyable moment at a dance or a party. Yet it could be just some moment that is indelibly impressed on your mind that happened in the classroom. We hope that snatches of college life here will come to you and help you to surge on and per- haps bring a smile to your lips. Faculty and students alike pause to congratulate you and pray for you. We are proud of what you are doing and have done. You are fighting for that democracy that is the foundation of not only this country but of our own college. So as you go forth feel the strength behind you of not just a small minority but of all Lowell Teach- ers College. Good luck ! ! Best wishes ! ! [17]

FIGHTING Amid the songs and music of Lowell Teachers Coll ege, the plea of Uncle Sam came and proudly you answered it. No longer do the corridors echo with your voices trying vainly to rise above the babble of the more numerous females, but you are not forgotten. You may be scattered from one end of the earth to the other, even to the farther-most outpost, but still the guiding hand of the ideals of Lowell Teachers College will follow you wherever you may be. We salute you!! Our faculty member, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Edward Knowles and our fellow students Ensign Roger Bell in the navy; and in the Army, Sumner White- stone, John Leganowicz, Anthony Raisis, Fred Hannant, Jr., James Savas, and Michael Maglio.

SENIORS . .- w- - -Sit. »V ' jfc cR iSi Almost all of the usual activities of an L.T.C. Senior class have been curtailed in favor of war regulations. War-conscious- ness has given these girls a chance to real- ize that real satisfaction can come only through service and self-sacrifice. There has been no complaint; rather there has been shown unusual patriotism and co- operation in the war effort. At the beginning of the year, a series of monthly suppers was planned at which the entire class could be present. Each of the three senior sections had a chance to prepare and serve at least one meal. These get-togethers were always spirited and happy affairs. January 11th, 1943, will always be re- membered because of the serious Investi- ture program, at which the Seniors wore .§,.$ ' |,1.. [18]
