FCDREWCRD .... Look back across the sea of yesterdays And capture once again what ioys you may Though time may dim the light of memory This book, we hope will hold for you a dream. J. L. D. Greetings from Mr. Wilson l:o the Class of 'I-L5 FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1945: Talent, beauty, and ambition are all to be found in abundance in the graduating class of l945. Many previous classes have been larger, some may have been more active or more famous, and still others have had longer than you in which to distinguish themselves on the field of battle or in everyday civilian life. How- ever, in no previous graduating class of Hillyer, to my knowledge, have its members applied themselves more diligently to their studies or faced with greater courage, resourcefulness, and determination, the difficulties and discouragements of con- structing their lives in a war torn world. Many of your number have had your college education interrupted by your country's call to arms. They too have played and will continue to play an im- portant part in honoring the name of their College. As the Class of 1945 takes its place in time, alongside the ever increasing number of illustrious classes of Hillyer, may I extend to each one of you, the very best wishes of the faculty of Hillyer for your future success and happiness. Cordially yours, Alan S. Wilson, Director

Not the proud cause of nations, the fantasy of creeds, nor the perpetuation of traditions, but, to the enlighten- ment of mankind let us dedicate also our living. 1l
