Del Sudoeste yearbook, 1944

 

1944

 

Co-editors: Carlson, Leone and Allard, Pat

This annual is dedicated "to the Aztecs in the service" who "carry our fighting spirit on 'Monty' bombers ..." Among the list of things to remember in the foreword are "bond drives" and "P38's cutting blue slits in the sky..." A "Student Centralized Bank" is represented by a "student banker." There is still a division between the "Two Year program" and the four-year A. B. degree, with its own division head. In the "Fraternities" section many of the men are in United States armed forces uniforms. Of 94 pictured seniors, only 12 are men. The "Service Flag" of 1943 is augmented by a "Service Panel" on a wall, and other war-related activities include selling "bonds" (or "war stamps"), the GSO (Girls Service Organization) entertaining armed forces members, and writing Christmas letters to every Aztec in uniform. Pages 166-175 are devoted to photographs of Aztecs in the military, with a page of "in memoriam."
