TO THE ABSENT MEMBERS OF CLASS 1944 We do meet, hut we do miss you Miss those three dear absent ones, Who have answered to the calling To be the nation’s hero-sons. When a year ago we gathered, Joy was in your happy eyes But today from us you’re severed. And for you we breathe our sighs. At our school tasks ever busy Often will the bosom swell At the thought of your adventures In the future you may tell. May you ever hear our banner Through the thickest of the fight And retain our nation’s honor By the strength of manhood’s might. May we hear of ivreathes of glory Evermore to deck your brows Clarence, Elmo, Frank, our dear ones. Playing on our heart strings now. May the Providence that watches Bring you safely through the way That you may come back to Axton And join your class mates in the U. S. A. — Mildred Holland. FAR AWAY Where are all our many graduates That ive’ve knoivn since lo7ig ago. Alumni of Axton High School, Who have kept our hearts aglow Ever with their joyful greetings At our commencement so gay? They have all dispersed and wandered Far away, yes, far away. Some to camps, some o’er Germany, Some to Italy have gone; Others in the South Sea Islands With our many foes fight on. How we long for our dear soldiers. Long for each one while they stay Evermore dispersed and wandered Far away, yes, far away. — Mildred Holland.

DEDICATED TO FRANK BARROW, ELMO GRAVELY. CLARENCE ELLIOTT Of Class 1944 and THE ALUMNI OF AXTON HIGH SCHOOL IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED S TATES We, the senior class of 1944, dedicate “THE AXTONIAN” in recog- nition of the services which they are rendering to the world and to our flag. The alumni of Axton High School in the armed forces are numerous and extend back on class records as early as 1924, before Axton High School became accredited. They are proving themselves brave and cour- ageous. One daring young man of 1942 class, Thomas Morrison, was taken prisoner last year while participating in an air raid over Germany, As far as we know, the gold star to Wayne Martin of 1938 class has been the only one awarded to a member of our alumni.
