We, the Seniors, dedicate the following poem to all the boys of Axton and vicinity who are, or have been, in the Armed Forces of the United States. We Will Welcome You Home, Our Men We will welcome you. home, our men, From across the oceans blue a?id unde, To where your hearts have ever been Since first you set out with the tide. Your letters help in your absence, our men, We read them with joy in our hearts, We follow each stroke of your pen, And you’re with us, tho’ far apart. Still in our hearts, our men, We hold a sacred dream of you, Of the things you’ve done, now and then, And of the great things you’re to do. Oh, we’ll welcome you home, our men, Our hearts are ever true to you May God be with you, as He’s been, Till soo7i you cross the ocean blue. Chorus: We will welcome you home, our men, And our hearts ivill feel no pain When iv e cowit you eight and ten Back in our hearts and homes again. — Christine Lavender Classmates of Class ’45 who are now in the Armed Forces Barker, George Barker, Sam Barrow, Fred Gilley, Marvin Hankins, Claiborne Kidd, Robert, Jr. Lavender, Noel Lewis, Ruth Moore, J.
