College Gives Thanks
In V-E Day. Services
Students, servicemen, a n d
townspeople gathered in Recrea
tion Hall Tuesday night to observe
V-E Day. All servicemen marched
into the Hall in a body.
Silence filled the auditorium
when Professor Frizzell stepped
to the front of the speakers' plat
form to offer an opening prayer.
As the audience bowed their
heads, there were many thoughts
of those men and women who will
be coming home from war and
those .who still have a battle to
win in the Pacific.
After the singing of the hymn
"Glory, Glory Hallelujah" by the
audience, Chaplain Frizzell read
a poem "Ode In Peace," written
by Prof. Francis J. Tschan, of the
College history' department.
Col. Edward H. Taliaierro, new
commandant of the Army units at
the College, stressed the need for
seriousness new, when so many
men .and women are still making
extreme sacrifices.
The service was not one of
cheering or rejoicing, but of
thanksgiving for the task accom
plished, and prayers for a final
peace which will bring with it
the right of celebration. As Pres
ident Hetzel stated in the closing
part of the ceremony:
"I should like to give myself
A WELCOME HAND TO BELL

coining hack to the Bell System the men and
