Miss BILLIE MURRAY, War Coordinaior if-auf Gone are Baylor preachers who served as the quartermasters of spirit in the valley of the shadow of death, Bataan. Gone, too, are the Baylor athletes, the fliers who lived in fame and went down in flame. These field masters of faith and avenging Gabriels of death carried the Baylor line around the world. Up Bayloris worn steps tramped students who were 'igetting a good ready , who were preparing for the rendezvous which the Commander- ln-Chief said this nation's youth had with destiny. May the Baylor lads today say with their predecessors: '6Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. Wheeling their steeds of steel in meteoric combat are the Galahads and Lancelots of the airlanes. No more glamorous military force on earth have captivated the imagination of youth. Fifty-six Baylor boys became Army Air Corps cadets. On February 25 they closed their books for the last time and donned the swagger hat and winged uniform. Out of their number may come the Colin Kellys, the Arthurs Myers and Curtis Byrds of tomorrow. In a long wavering line on chapel's stage they stood and heard the Good Old Baylor Line sung on a cold morning in February, the month of heroes. They departed for the wild blue yonderg for places that yesterday were but names on mapsg for the Main streets of T okyo, Berlin and Rome. MRS. CLAY MCCLELLAN, War Coordinator P 8
