i l fjn jiilrmnriam LT. LAMAR K. Buss It is with deep sorrow and profound sympathy that we, the Class of 1945, record the death of one of our most highly respected and best-loved high school teachers, who, after valiantly serving in the United States for 22 months in this war, paid the supreme sacrifice, when, on May 29, 1944, he was killed in action, in Italy. As an instructor in mathematics and industrial arts, and also as the coach of our school sports, Mr. Blass, won the respect and admiration of all who knew him. His generous sharing of his knowledge and experience of life with those who needed it, in addition to his keen sense of sportsmanship and fair play, made Mr. Blass a person of such character that we will long remember him and what he has done for us. In line with his interest in the successful welfare of others, he dutifully entered the service of his country to fight with millions of others in the preser- vation of its safety and freedom. While serving in this capacity he was forced to give his life for the things he loved best. To his wife and parents the Class extends its sympathy and wishes to express the belief that of those who knew him, none can deny that he was every bit the man that they might ever hope to be. - Page Four
