CORPORAL ROBERT DUPERE 1933 - 1951 U. S. Infantry - Korean Forces Inspired with a zeal to serve his Country in the trying days of the early invasion of North Korea, Corporal Bob forsook his studies at Diman in his Sophomore year, as a member of the illustrious Class of 1953. He immediately enlisted as a private in the U. S. Infantry and finished his boot training at Camp Edwards, Mass. Within a few months he arrived in Tokyo, Japan, in preparation for the early defense of South Korea against the Red-dominated North Koreans. He soon attained the rank of Corporal because of military efli- ciency. Undoubtedly Divine Guidance forewarned him of impending danger, for his last letter to his Mother asked for her blessing and prayers as he marched to his place in the front lines. Mortally wounded during a vicious counter-attack by the Reds, he lingered for a few hours before passing on to a hero's death. The Class of 1953 hereby offers its sincerest prayer for the repose .pg l of his Martyr's Soul and firmly resolves that he shall not have died in vain. To his worthy parents, we, the Class of 1953, offer our deepest sympathy in this hour of sadness in the loss of our beloved classmate who gave his all that we might live in the land of freedom, under the flag of peace and liberty for all. lin Aliilemnriami WILLIAM MCDONALD Class of 1953 . The Class of 1955, in common with the whole school, was plunged into heart- felt grief when on july 14, 1951, our beloved Classmate Bill McDonald died suddenly at his home in Fall River. For two happy and eventful school years, Bill had won the admiration and love of both Teachers and Pupils at Diman Vocational High School. His genial manner, his loyal friendship and his unsullied character will ever remain to us as precious memories of our school days here. To his beloved family we extend our profoundest regrets. In acquiescing to the will of the Divine Master in the loss of our -esteemed classmate, we do take heart in the hope that when the final summons comes to each of us, we will all be united with him in the Kingdom of Kingdoms. 37
