dedication the memory of his beloved Majesty King George VI, Whose qualities of courage, Faith and steadfastness Won for him The love, and confidence Of his subjects, the world over, The Students of London Normal School, With heartfelt sadness, Respectfully dedicate The Spectrum, 1952. PAX SECUM The heavy hand of Death in reaching down Has plucked a King from out our troubled sphere; Nobility his strength, his life sincere, Humanity his claim to long renown. The edifice of Freedom, slowly laid, Has lost a pillar from its crumbling wall — His choice, the stern demands of duty ' s ca ll, His self, expended in the choice he made. We shall not soon forget the lesson learned From him, who served along the way he trod, Who put his hand into the hand of God, Assured that darkest paths would be discerned. Rest be to him whose death we mourn so much Who walked a King, nor lost the common touch. — G. A. DOBRINDT.
