QUICK L4-2:4 zigejiirbqilf 'Zi' reel? Gold Stars letter follows.u It was signed by Dunlop, On the pages to follow are the names and pictures of 91 alumni of C. C. S.--boys and girls who for four years of high school-- some for eight years of grade school also-- studied and played, worked and dreamed here. Now they are fighting and dying that we may continue a free country with free schools. Others, many others, who left our school before graduation are also engaged in this struggle for freedom. Several have given their lives. Pvt. Robert C. Baker died in Luxembourg January 15, l9h5, as a result of wounds re- ceived in action. Sergeant Earl Diller Jr. was given a military funeral at Candor on Nov. 29, l9hh, following his death in line of duty by mon- oxide gas poisoning while he was operating a radio car. Pfc. Howard I. Jordan was killed in act- ion in France August T, 19hL. Victor Nagle, U.S.N., the first of our boys to be represented by a gold star, was killed in action'in the South Pacific. SflC Lloyd J. Quick .was on board the Liberty munition ship, E. A. Bryan, which ex- ploded ln the harbor at Port Chicago, Cali- fornia on July 17, l9Lh. He was reported missing. Ralph Flatt was killed in action in France in Jan. l9h5. Had he remained in school, he would have been a member of the present graduating class. Those now graduating, and others youngen pledge themselves to do all within their power to realize the purpose for which thea costly sacrifices were given. Patriotism NTelegram for Mrs. Sm1th,n said the mes- senger. Instantly Mrs. Smith turned white, and she trembled as she opened the telegram. The first words she saw as she slid the paper from the envelope were: nThe War Department regrets to inform you that your son has been ------N and then a pause as she continued to unfold the telegram, nkilled in action. A Adjutant General, U. S. Air Forces. Mrs. Smith sat down sobbing, nOh John! My precious son. Killedln The next day Mrs. Smith received a letter giving the details of her son's death. It said that John had died a hero. He was flying his P58 when a swarm of Jap planes dove on him out of the sky. He sent down three of them in a very short time. Then one, a suicide plane, dove toward his plane and crashed into it. About two months of sorrow and grief had passed when a package came to Mrs. Smith. It contained two medals, the Purple Heart and Air Medal with Oakleaf Clusters. This is a story of true patriotism. John gave his life,and his mother gave her only son for our country. What did you do? Modern Warfare Most people hail new inventions for killing with joy. They think it will end this war earlier. Maybe it will, but our own men are being killed by tens of thousands by just such inventions as the grenade, the robot bomb, or the block busters. When the news commentators give accounts of our losses over the air they always console us with something like: nlt was re- ported that our losses on the so-and-so front were fifty thousand killed, missing and wounded.n Of course the German losses were ninty thousand ,but what difference does it make what the Germans lost when we lost fifty thousand men? Another favorite of the newsmen is to compare our air losses with Japan's., For instance they boast that our airmen shot down thirty Jap planes, which is good. Then they tell us we lost only nineteen bombers. The Jap planes contained only one uncivilized man apiece while our nineteen bombers contained nine or ten skilled Americans each. This war is the most devastating thing that ever happened to us. It's up to us to see that another war doesn't follow this one. If it did happen it would practically ruin civilization. Page eighteen
