OUR SOLDIER BOYS Our soldier boys! How great our pride In these, our gallant boys of Hughes! What loyalty does yours infuse! With patriotism such as yours imbues, We welcome you on Mars' ebb tide. We love you who have fought abroad, And you who have gone unto your God; All, who for Freedom fought and died. You, who fought for Democracye cause, Heroes? You,re more than that, you're men! The prayers of many were answered, when You 'scaped from cruel Death,s wide jaws. Oh! you, who all that hell defied, Who turned the blows of Huns aside, Now in Americds heart you abide, As you return on Victoryts tide! You,re welcome, oh! Hughest valiant sons, Who fought on Flander's helds! Youtre welcome, each and every one Who the sword of Liberty wields! But some there are who have Hgone west, And trod the paths to glory. Butettdulce e: decorum est Pro putrid mori. Your golden stars shall shine afar, Thot silent, proclaiming What you are, Your sacrifice to win the war: You gave your lives; you crossed the bar? Now when you see the Flags are furlecl, From out your heavenly rest, Not in vain did you give your best: There's peace upon the world! So to our soldier boys, a toast! To those who freely fought and bled: To those who with their blood made red The trenches on a foreign coast. Here's to a duty nobly done! Here's to the Victory which they won! Here's to the bravest ,neath the sun, Qur boys, Hughest boys. that valiant host! GAYLORD M ERRIMAN, 19. I181

A LTHOUGH the war is now over, once more we give first place to our soldiers. We knew on that memorable day when our boys answered the call that many of them would come back heroes. Here are some of them who have had great honors bestowed upon them. Proud we are, of those who came back decorated with distinguished service crosses and Croix de Guerre, but prouder still are we of those who made the supreme sacrifice. We regret that these lists are necessarily incomplete in each case, for we were unable to secure all the names of those 'who have received honors and citations.
