TO BILL BORCHERT William E. Borchert 1925 1942 Bill Borchert, honorary president of the class of 1943, was a true friend, an able student, a real athlete, and a beloved classmate. He had proved his friendship and love by first being a friend. To Bill and to our graduates and former students now serving in the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, and the Merchant Marine for the brighter future we are looking for—we respectfully dedicate this Excalibur of 1943 . Killed from injuries suffered on the baseball diamond, Bill typified the spirit of those who are out in the bigger fight —the spirit captured in ' words by a Canadian flyer in “High Flight.”

Uiqh JZLqht Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings: Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds—and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. HpPPnng there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up. up the long, delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, nor even eagle flew— And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high, untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. —John Gillespie McGee, Jr., Pilot Officer, R.
