It is with gratitude and affection that the Oracle for 1945 is dedicated to William John Wilkinson who, for nineteen years, has been teacher, adviser and friend to both the Colby students and the Colby faculty.
H
On a bright autum n day in 1941, the large t clas ever to enter Colby arrived at the talion to be whisked away by the S. C. A . for a week of freshman o rientation act ivit ies. Some of the freshmen had come for four years of fun-par ties, dances, p icnic , football games and winter sport . Some had come with an earne t de i re to ach ieve a good, liberal education-in t h e classroom, i n the li brary, in t h e lecture hall but most of the cla of 1945 had come w ith eager expectat ion of comb i n i n g both education and fun i nto four happy, p rosperou and peace ful years. The fir t few m onths proved to be all that any freshm a n could want. Classroom work and lec tures h a d started them on the road to an A . B . degree a n d social activit ies, i n t h e form of gym d ances, tea dances fraternity and orority par ties and football games, abounded. Colby won the Maine State Football Champion hip and the clas of 1945 made t he front page of the Boston
Herald.
The former glory was the result of an excel lent team and coach. The latter triumph was the re ult of the enterprise of t he fre hman men. The b')ys dug up a dust-covered rule whic h would grant them exempt ion from fresh m a n rules ( involving bowinu in front of Fos Hall and similar indignities) if they could cap t ure the sophomore class president and hold him from his classmates for forty-eight hour . The p res;_dent of t he class of 1944 was taken for an unexpected but pleasant trip to Boston while his classm ates furiously combed the New England states although really suspecting he had gone to Alaska. Upon t he sophomore p resident's re turn to Waterville the freshmen were granted exemption from onerous rules and everyone agreed that the class of 1945 was definitely a p art of Colby. December seventh is a date which has become as thoroughly imprinted i n American m inds as the Fourth of J uly or Arm istice Day. J ust as this date changed the way of life for the nation so it changed the way of life for Colby. The Col by Glee Club was in Portl an d that Sunday singi n g Handel's "Messiah" with the Bowdoin and Colby J unior College Glee Clubs when the a n nouncement of the attack o n Pearl Harbor was made. The usual hilarious return of the Glee Club was that n ight subdued. For days afterward radios blared constantly even a t meals

and i n the gym . Colby's men began to leave the campus for the armed forces. From a happy little ivory tower, momentarily touched with hysteria, Colby changed to a college at war. Preparation for l iving became more important, and the frivolity of college life was relegated to a minor po ition. One of the few m ajor social events of 1942 wa Winter Carnival, which took place with all its t raditional excitement and glitter. Freshmen marveled at the snow sculpture, were delighted with the moccasin dance on t he skating rink, and thorouuhly enjoyed the form al which cli maxed the week-en d. Spring came and with it the fasc inating news that the Fall of 191.2 would find the Women's Division living on the Mayflower Hill campus. A l o of great tu dent intere t wa Franklin Johnon' announcement that he was retiring from the pre iden�y cf Colbv. Late in the Spring he introduced Dr . Julius S. B ixler of Har�ard who was to be h i ucce sor. With workmen bu y on Mayflower Hill the fre hmen left for Summer vacation. Some mem bers of the class of 1945 returned, however, for Colby's fi rst summer school, which was designed by the adm1n i tration to enable students to com plete their college career before induction into t he armed s rvices. It was a deli ghtful Summer, with cl as es in the morn i n g and the afternoons pent walking, picnicking, playing tenni s or swimming at the Outing Club. The highlight of the summer was t he War Bond Caravan which brought Nancy Carroll, a genuine movie actress, to Waterville. Returning in the Fall, upperclass women were met at the station by a shiny new blue bus (more recently k nown as Colby's Daily M i r acle) and t ransported to the Hill. Whatever m isgivings the sophomore women had about the freshman girls being on t he Old Campus within close proximity of the remaining men were dis pelled by the sight of the wonderful new dor mitories. Colby by this t ime had become a wartime col lege i n earnest. A streamlined academic p ro gram was set up while the administration an nounced plans for a secon d summer school. Ex tracurricula r activities were cut to a minimum -Powder and Wig, Colby At The Mike, t he Outing Club fell by the boards. In a further effort to minimize extracurricula r activities a

Panhellenic aims to maintain a h i g h plane of fraternity life and provide an organized, unified structure to help promote common sorority interests. chiefly to encourage
Panhellenic is compo ed of two delegate from each active sorority and meets regularly. One of its most i mportant function each year is the extending of every possible aid to freshmen women in their intro duction to the rushing system. In addition to dealing with orority problems and interests, the Panhellenic Council holds several social function for the college as a who le, includi ng, this year, a dessert bridge and several Saturday night open houses.
The Men's Student Council was ac tive again this year for lhe fi rst time si nce the war's begi nning. Its ten members, elected o n a dormitory and off-campus basis ( seven upperclassmen and three freshmen , chose Cloyd Aarseth as president. A liaison system, which endeavored to settle student-a dmi nistration prob lems, was set up with the l ibrarian , the superintendent of buildings, the dietitian and the trea urer's office. Carl Wright, vice-pre ident of the Council, served as chairman of the Student-Faculty Relations Committee. Th is committee was responsible for lhe new h ou r exam schedule designed to avoid dupl ication of examination dates. The goal for which the Council strives is a truly representative stu dent government for the men' divi sion on the new Mayflower Hill campu .

C lass

1 945
You h ave been told for so long a bout the wickedness of the world and the h ard time you c a n expect a fter graduating that the approaching Commencement may loom before you a s a grim rather than a gay occasion.
But I hope you will
keep i n mind one lesson that your history courses mu t h ave t aught you.
I t is
that civilization h a s always faced crises, college students h ave always gone forth into a world that threatened their idealism, and the man of scholarship and w is dom h a s always found it h ard to translate into action the ideas he h a s learned. I n other words, while it is true that these are dark days, it is not true that t hey are the only dark days college gra duates h ave faced.
Further, the world has yet
to see a problem that courage and intelligence have not been able to olve.
We
k now that y ou h ave both of these qualities and we h ave complete confidence that you will use them well.
A s you work for the just an ? democratic end that
you have learned to understand and to love we want you to know that the college is w atching you with eager interest. However far from Colby you may be forced to go you will find on your return a welcome in which affection will m i ngle, we know, with pride.

Look to the Photographer e When you' re a fter portraitu re that combines a rtistic workman hip and
a superior degree of " pe rsonality," you mu t be ""-ise in selecting you r photographer.
e Warmth of tone in a portrait is not all you want ; nor is lighting or the
p roper selection of backgrou nd and gene ral port rai t a rrangement al l that counts.
Fa r
more depend s on the sk i l l of you r photographer to catch the e intangible bits of ) OU r own person a l i ty wh ich make you r portrait l ive.
e The next time you t h i n k of having a port rait made . . . Look to the
p hotographer.
