AVE JUNE, 1918 No. 9 With four years of happiness drawing to a close, we who are leaving those four years behind, wish to give some proof of our affection for those men who at some time in their lives have shared that happiness which comes as a gift from our Alma Mater, and who are now serving in the Army and Navy of these United States. These are they who cheerfully and gladly are giving their all; one of them has even made the Supreme Sacrifice. They have given up home happiness and home associations for something which is infinitely more sacred than home happiness—the call of the nation to her young men. As they are giving their lives to save us from those horrors which France and Belgium have so bravely endured, it is our wish and our duty to honor them; and so, we, the Class of 1918, with all our hearts, dedicate this, our Senior Oracle, to the men represented on our Service Flag, to our High School men in the Army or Navy; and we pray God that He may make them what they and we would wish them to be, the finest type of heroes to war for those principles which our Nation upholds.
