THEY HO DEDICATED THEIR LIVES W do s. v 1' -1 63 C I6 2 li Q , . . - 4'-5'4 '-9 HE glorious return to priceless peace is ings! fx. our theme. Two of the members of this class have joined the ranks of those revered immortals who have made the greatest sacrifice. To them this book is dedicated. Iesus has said, uGreater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. We, the class of '46 pledge to you Danny Goodman and Zip Kissner that your love is not betrayed, that your sacrifice shall not have been in vain. PFC. DANIEL GOODMAN Danny was one of those rare and happy people who can live for the moment, and still not sacrifice the moments still to come. Looking back. one is tempted to say that he might have had a presentment that he didn't have long to live, by the usual standards of longevity. This would explain his tremendous ability for life, but such a presentment would only have come to a much more morbid nature than his. I-Ie lived so intensely, because for Danny that was what life meant. Goodman was a scholar-athlete, strictly from Brooklyn, and an orphan for whom the phrase Alma Mater was a statement of the re- lationship between himself and Earlham rather than just a couple of words heard frequently at home- coming. No one who knew Goodman will believe that they won't hear him whistle Danny Boy again. Most likely he is Awol and having a xx hale of a good time in some French town. Like Eulenspiegle. Danny Goodman may sleep, but he will never die. SGT. RUSSELL KISSNER Years have passed since we first met on Earlham's campus . . . I-Ie joined the football line,-the battle line too-no coward, no trembler of the world's storm- troubled sphere. He loved and experienced the basic things in life,-Ureverencing laughter in others and seeking it in himselff' talking with people and trv- ing to understand them: loving nature and music and appreciating their beauty. Forever he desired adven- ture, change, and chance, and with it endured lonlif ness. especially when life at times seemed puzzling to him. His actions were slow. silent. persistent. cre- ative, yet too often unrecognized bv others. I-Ie failed and suffered in attempts to do right. but to all man- kind this marks success. Yes. he loved the many things God had given him.-especially his family and home. His sense of humor. spirit of freedom and creation, his love for people-these opened a door to life. For such men life never dies. NVe knew these characteristics as Zip -a fella with a spirit of life. Page seven
