jbedlccUio of the 1942 SERPENTINE to all the men from West Chester answering their country ' s call to serve in the armed forces is natural, logical, and heartfelt in this anxious year. During the school year 1941-42, we have experienced great changes in feeling and thinking. First we thrilled at playing war for the sake of national defense,- some of our friends and classmates were drafted, it is true, but we were still here, end we could laugh over everyday happenings and over a cigarette advertisement that made a joke of being On the Land, In the Air, and On the Sea. After December 7, 1941, however, when Japan attacked Hawaii, the cigarette slogan gained stark significance, became a true pen picture of modern design. In the rush of world events there has not been much time for reflection, but even a little thought has made us realize that we have a great deal to fight for and protect, and that our men from West Chester are doing that fighting and protecting for us. The cannon on Wayne Field campus is a useless symbol of an older war, but perhaps the picture of it will bring to the minds of our men the memory of happy days that will surely come again and the thought that we are working for and with them. To our friends in any and all branches of the service of their and our country, and especially to those who would have graduated in the normal course of things with the class of 1942, we dedicate this book with greetings and best wishes from all of us to all of you. {6jo
