Garnet and Black 1944 [University of South Carolina Yearbook]

[Columbia SC]: The Student Body of the University of South Carolina. Very Good. 1944. Hardcover. NOISBN . (no dust jacket, as issued) [clean solid copy, light wear at spine ends, small dent on front cover (blemishing the cover photo a bit)]. (B&W photographs) Pretty much what you'd expect from a wartime college yearbook: lotsa folks in uniform (ROTC and whatnot), and an intense focus on the many ways in which the school and its students were contributing to the war effort. The dedication essay begins: "Surrounded by a seething world at war, Carolina students lost much of their traditional levity this year, and began to make earnest preparations to take their places in their country's service, whether it be the armed forces, laboratories, schools, or essential industries." .
