A TRIBUTE In any town of any race, at any time or any place, the cen- ter of affectionate interest seems inevitably focused upon its youth-- tall , vital youngsters--no longer boys, yet not quite men» Here they have lived from earliest infancy. They rode these sidewalks, in wide-eyed baby wonder, in various types of baby carriages propelled by smiling young mothers. They learned to travel on spreading roller skates and to successfully manage way- ward scooters along these same avenues. They traveled their first two-wheelers on the town’s roads to worry mothers, and their first rattling jeeps to worry fathers. They recited funny sing-song stanzas on Mother ' s Day in the town ' s Sunday schools. They learned to tap dance, sang in oper- ettas, joined the school band with their first quavering instru- ments, or won honors in a basketball squad. Anywhere and everywhere about the town they gathered like noisy little monkeys to enliven all activities with their pre- cious youth. The town loved them in their baby carriages, yet they managed to endear themselves even more with each passing year. They won debating honors, scholastic scholarships, typing badges, basketball trophies, and medals for outstanding musical achievement. They graduated and a new group sat in their seats and assumed their responsibilities, yet they remained a valued part of the life of the home town. Strange then, that any chain of events could increase our love for all of them. Yet in this year, 1942, they are closer to our hearts than ever before. For our splendid young men are in uniform; they are scattered to the four corners of the globe-- yet united in a glorious single purpose--to preserve for other boys in this and every other town the same privileges, the same community activities and affections that combined to produce the splendid youth of the greatest of all nations. We know that our boys, wherever they arc, will be as outstanding, as cooperative, as clean, and as fearless as when they fought a friendly rival team for a basketball trophy for Edison. vve are cheering for them, hoping for them, praying for them, and loving them today as never before. May they all come march- ing homo ! Clifford Jefferis
