.X4 .70l elfUOI ! THE TIME IS NOW Shortly before Amistice Day last year Mr. Worst received the following letter: For the past three years when Armistice Day is drawing near, I think more and more of my son whom I used to drop off, at Cal on my way to work each morning. No, I don't think of him as an honor student, or even as an exceptional student in any class at Cal. I do think of him as a good son and as a student of Cal that learned from your teachers to always boost the other fellows that he worked with. Here is what makes me say the above. In the personal belongings of my son who was killed over Berlin, March 6, 1944, as Engineer on a B-17 Bomber, I find in his own handwriting a scribbled poem still boosting the other fellow. Oh, We're braver than hell, On the ground all is well, In the air it's a different story: We sweat out our track Through fighters and flak, We're willing to split up the glory. Well, they didn't reject us, So Heaven protect us, And until all the shooting abates, A Give us courage to fight 'em. Oh, yes, one more item: An escort of P-38's. P. S. As I said before: This was scribbled. It really looked original. But whether original or not, it makes his pop feel good to think he was all for the men in those P-38's. And I really believe he got that kind of teaching at Cal. Please excuse the ink. I should have used blue because that's how lfeel. ' I .- .- A , , ' No, 'I won-Vt'sign it.

MR C PRINCIPAL I believe the way you answer this question, today and in the days to come, will determine what you are doing for the betterment of your fellow men. We cannot all play important parts in the world, but we all have a part, big or small, and that part we must play to the best of our ability. We hope you will feel, as the years go by, that the training and inspiration you received during your four years at Calumet have helped you adapt yourself to your new responsi- bilities. Take those responsibilities, handle them in the very best way you can, and then we shall know that our 'graduates are doing their part to build a better world. ,7 .- fn ff 2 I . ,X if ff A I!! gr. 4 ff'ff
