Printed program cover from the U.S. Navy Pre-Flight School at St. Mary's College, Moraga, California, dated November 26, 1942. One of four Navy Pre-Flight Schools established during World War II, the St. Mary's campus trained aviation cadets in physical conditioning, academics, and military discipline before they advanced to flight instruction. The cover reproduces a pen-and-ink view of the college's landmark Spanish Colonial bell tower and chapel. As November 26, 1942 was that year's Thanksgiving Day, this program likely commemorates a holiday observance held for cadets and staff during the school's first year of operation. Project: 218156
