WE SALUTE... Just as the morale of every military unit is enlivened by the spirit, example, and inspiration of some hero, so our miniature army here in school looks for stimulation to its own hero—a man whose absence is sorely felt since he left the service of B. C. S. to join the service of the U. S. A. Having entered the weather department of the United States Army Air Corps in August, 1912, he is now stationed at Selfridge Field, Michigan. May he find the esteemed spot in the Army that he has forever held in our hearts! His vast knowledge, outstanding courtesy, and other sterling qualities have modeled the minds and manners of all his students. And although he is noted for his unlimited vitality and boundless enthusiasm for extra-curricular activities, “all work and no play did not make ‘Louie’ a dull boy,” for he was never too busy to be just a “grand guy.” So to Corporal Louis F. Coplai we dedicate this “Gusher” with the sincere hope that this act will express all that the inadequacy of our tongues keeps locked in our hearts. “To live as gently as I can; To be, no mailer where, a man; To take what comes of good or ill And cling lo faith and honor still; To do my best, and let that stand The record of my brain and hand; To be iv it haul pretense or sham Exactly whal men think I am. To leave some simple mark behind To keep my having lived in mind; If enmity to ought I show, To be an honest, generous foe; To play my little part, nor whine Thai greater honors are not mine. This, I believe, is all I need For my philosophy and creed.” ★ LOUIE
