For them the brief ceremony of graduation meant far more than the end of youth, and the beginning of maturity. It meant more than a parting of Ways that severed campus friendships, or fervent goodbyes to the Alma Mater they had loved. It meant even more than a transition from a life that was set and regulated' to one whose twists' and turns could not be set nor even predicted. The war world of 1942 needed no one to orate about it-no need to speak of 'fthe uncertain future. These graduates saw their future about them-saw it, felt it, hated it. And in their eyes was an answer to the menace and the challenge of the Words Uleadership and responsibilityl' in the black days to come. Some were to follow their classmates . . . Hesse, Sherman, Bodecker . . . into active service with the armed forces. Many others were to take jobs in the production lines of defense factories. Still more were to Work long and hard at vital civilian occupations. But the Class of 1942 was certain of something that had troubled those of the years before. They were on the road to Victory-and they knew it.
