THE RANKS of the class of lO-ifi wore l)r()kcii to ])i-ovi(le niaiipowrr for our country in its years of peril. ' IMiis was true of all classes from llM. ' j to 1949. Eloii t olle e sent more than 1,000 men and women to join our armed forces in answer to the call of our country. They did not hesitate to ;o, ncn ' did th.ey falter in the fiiijit. They faced the enemy with courage. ' JMiey fought biayely. ' i ' liey won a glorious yictory, Init at infinite cost. Some of them, may God grant rest to their weary spii-its, will never come back. We loved them. We honor them. We revere them. ] Ie miss them sorely especially in these closing days of our college career. As we walk al)out the campus, as we hold our meetings, it se ems they should l)e with us. To their memory, their heroic efforts, their sacrificial service, and their everlasting honor we, the Class of 194(), jiroudly and devotedly dedicate the I ' mi ' sicu, our college animal.
