The 70th Anniversary of "The Class That Never Was"
In the final days of their junior year, the members of The Citadel Class of 1944 were looking forward to summer break and their senior year at The Citadel. But senior year was not to be. The entire class was called to join the fight in World War II. The Class of 1944 did not have a senior year, nor did its members have a commencement ceremony. After the war, some came back to finish their degrees and graduate; others did not.
