Bllllli II ra uafea For the Class of '43, June 12th marks the jumping- off place to a new and difficult life. War is not a lovely businessg already we have sensed repercus- sions of its tragedy. Yet this much may be said of it: that it brings to the surface all the faculties of courage and resourcefulness latent in men's characters. Perhaps the hazards of war may touch upon something more virile in our natures than any peacetime adventures could ever do. It is a far cry from Hanes Field and Anderson Hall to Tunisia or Guadalcanal, but the gap is one that Woodberry graduates can safely travel.
