在第二次世界大战期间，诺曼·罗克韦尔的几幅著名画作以士兵威利·吉利斯为特色。洛克威尔把威利描绘成一个普通的、典型的美国男孩，一个典型的美国大兵。然而，1946年10月5日《星期六晚邮报》封面上的威利似乎发生了变化（见插图1）。威利坐在他大学宿舍的窗台上，一边抽烟斗一边努力学习。画面中央的窗户框住了古老的大学钟楼和四方上的树木。那个普通人，狗脸威利已经成熟了。他已经变成了一个大学生，自信满满，在新的上流社会环境中感到很舒服。人们只能想象威利的光明未来。
During World War II several popular Norman Rockwell paintings featured the soldier Willie Gillis. Rockwell depicted Willie as your average, all-American boy, a typical GI. Yet the Willie pictured on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on October 5, 1946, seemed transformed (see Plate 1). Willie sits in the window sill of his college dorm room, smoking a pipe while diligently studying. The window in the center of the picture frames the venerable college clocktower and trees on the Quad. The everyman, dogface Willie had matured. He had been transformed into a college student with an air of confident assurance, comfortable within his new genteel surroundings. One could only imagine a bright future for Willie.
