 bedicatio-n CV3 TO OCR SERVICE MEN: l aced with the immediate prospect of coming to grips with a life that is real and terribly earnest, we, the Seniors of 1943, should appreciate the relatively care-free days of our high school years more than those who graduated into less perilous times. Many of you have told us how much the memories of your own high school years have meant to you. We fully realize that it is only due to your sacrifice that we are able to finish a school career and complete a picture gallery of memories which will mean just as much to us. At the same time, our faith in you has inspired us to make the best possible use of our opportunities so that the testing time of actual service will find us well prepared—we must not let you down. In recognition of that faith, we, the Senior Class of 1943, hereby dedicate the 1943 edition of Georgetown’s Buffalo to all those former students of our high school who are now in the armed forces of our country. And especially, do we wish to honor those who, during the past year, have been called upon to make a sacrifice greater than most: . . to HERMAN MORRIS, ’36, who gave his life somewhere in the broad expanse of the Pacific on August 24, 1942, and to HOWARD MORGAN, ’38, who is being held as a prisoner by the Japanese. MORRIS Some sleep in peace beneath the wave— Their noble best is done. Willingly their lives they gave That victory might be won. Some wear the weary days away Behind the prison’s bar. Oh, may our efforts haste the day That brings an end to war! Page Two
