LN MEMOQa ON SIX CONTINENTS, on the seven seas, on the far-flung islands of the world, and in the air over all, many, many graduates and former students of Asheboro High School are struggling valiantly to carry the Stars and Stripes, along with the banners of the other United Nations, to ultimate victory over the enemies of civilization. A fine record our boys are making in the titanic struggle against tyranny. So far as we know, only three A. H. S. boys have made the supreme sacrifice in this war. Private Worth Copple, of the United States Marine Corps, was mentioned in last year's annual as having lost his life in the Solomon Islands, October, 1942. T. J. Rierson, a former student, in the United States Navy, was also listed in the 1943 annual. The third A. H. S. boy to give his life in World War II was Clarence Rae McRae, who was killed in the accidental crash of an Army plane, January 3, 1944. Rae was President of the Class of 1940. He entered the University of North Carolina in the fall of the same year and remained a student until April, 1942, when he left to enlist in the United States Air Forces. Commissioned a Second Lieutenant in February, 1943, the young officer was sent to Wendover Field as an Instructor in Navigation. At the time of his death he was being transferred to another airfield. While Rae was in high school, his —goed mind, fine character, and win- ning personality made him popular with both students and faculty. Dean House, of the University of North Carolina, said that Rae was one of the finest and most promising young men he knew anywhere. Now we feel a solemn pride in these young men who have given their all on the altar of their country. We are also immensely proud of those who are still living and fighting for the right. Our hopes and prayers are all with them. LIEUT. CLARENCE RAE MCRAE February 14, 1923 January 3, 1944
