1941-42 has been a year of sensation; of unprecedented state political strife overshadowed by the nation's entry into the Second World War. The excitement of meeting attractive young men in neat uniforms has been cooled by apprehension for the sake of other young men, dearer perhaps, and nearer to the scene of conflict. There were compelling desires to give up education for something more colorful, more pertinent to the defense of our country, but above all, came the mature realization that this thing called college education is to be most vital in the end. Calmly the year has slipped by. Calmly the usual campus activities, supplemented by what help a woman's college can offer a nation at war, have been pursued. The PINE CONE presents a picture of G. S. W. C. life as it has been in this, the first year of the first war of our generation, a picture not appreciably different from any record of G. S. W. C. activity of this decade.

A year book was published for Valdosta State College from 1925-1977, under the name The Pinecone. From 1981-1987, a yearbook was published called Milestones. Valdosta State University had three names during this period, Georgia State Womans College, 1925-1950; Valdosta State College, 1950-1993; and Valdosta State University 1993-present.
