Sergeant-at-Arms James Dunkel Donald Black Janet Johnson Nancy West ...Leo May The class of 1948 has finished its four years of college—four years of college and, in many cases, several years of armed service duty. The largest class ever to graduate at Wittenberg, it contained youth and battle-seasoned age, promise and promises, the usual polish of college and a new comprehension of the world and its troubles. It consisted of young women who enrolled when the American male was just a myth of the battle-front releases, of a new and personalized pin-up girl and honored wearers of the purple heart, of young ladies who knew how to rivet a bomber and young men who knew how to fly them, of a new set of career girls and a new set of fathers. A definite product of the inconsiderations of war, it learned to consider other peoples and other problems. It carried away from the campus an outlook matured far beyond the normal. Yet the class of 1948 lacked not for excitement in student activities nor the sentimental thrill of college romance. Wittenberg College has graduated its biggest—and most promising—class. Page Twenty
