DEO ET PATRIAE ln its hundred years Hughes has contributed to the armed forces in every military conflict of our country. The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, and Worlcl War II, all had Hughes heroes. In each succeeding conflict, the student body of Hughes was larger, and the demands of national defense were greater. In World War II, not only men who had been Hughes students were in their country's service, but many women, too. As the 1951 annual goes to press, there are more than ninety Hughes boys in the Armed Forces, some in training in the United States, and some in combat in Korea. Again Hughes fulfills her motto, Deo et Patriaef' in September I950, Jim Chadburn and Bill Kehrer. seniors, saici goodbye fo Hughes as 'rhey lefi' fo go info Army iraining camps. Page 'twenty-three

THE WAR MEMORIAL Hughes honors the students who served in World War I and World War II. Upon entering the front hall, one sees on either side, the lunettes designed by Clement J. Barnhorn, the well known sculptor. Obedience to Authority is the central theme of the lunettes. This is appropriate not only for the memorial, but also as a guiding inspiration for Hughes students at all times. Beneath the lunettes are inscribed the names of Hughes men and women who gave their lives for their country. The lunettes were presented by the Art League and the student body.
