We swung through Christmas dances, January pledge ago- nies, F ebruary's HYM with screwy corsages, snow scenes, 8 a.m. hlackoutsf' March found us poking fun fhut thinking deeply, about air raid drills and first aid. Then came a swirl through spring cleaning, all-too-short moments of lawn-lounging, then finals again, with grade woes. Yes, clear down to June job-hunting, or Myrabel's bare feet on the lush grass of the Commons lawn, 1941-42 was an all out year. H ,f 5 -QW 35 E 5 U fl 5 , vffffrtf Y if 'rms-5 -

AND THIS I5 THE YEAR WE'RE TALKING ABUUT . . . For wide-awake Shockers, the snapshots of these pages need no identification. We're sorry, but there is something in the fast- moving events of a college year that can't be shared with the casual observer.

If you show the same courage work and as citizens in your shown on Bataan Peninsula, the settled our Way. If we , We also will Win the and living up to it we are made of. Then, rican Dream
