Class of January, 1943 Fight On! Years ago we fought that war To break the tyrant’s hold; But along with the calm of many years Once more the foe’s grown bold. Yes, once again the time has come To take up arms and fight. If peace must be preserved by force, Then right shall be our might! ’Tis now the battle has begun; A conflict but by treachery wrought. The enemy fust has drawn first blood, But it avails him naught. The roar of cannon is loud, And red the blood of the dead; Yet we shall bravely carry on Until it can be justly said, There is no more that we can do. We ' ve fought our very best; And soon we wounded shall be dead, Laid in a bloody rest. So carry on, brave comrades! Fight! Fight on to the last! And when the bugle blows tonight, No foe shall then have passed. 1943 [ 9 ] ( [}? (Cmintlttan

Prayer for a Warrior Lord, before the battle give me might, Lord, let me stand for what is right; If ever l fight for what is wrong, Lord, make me weak instead of strong. Lord, if during the battle l must die, Lord, let me when death draws nigh Face the foe with sword in hand; Lord, let me fight while l can stand. Lord, if retreat is ever blown, Lord, if my comrades all have flown, Give me strength to stand, firm and true, Until, in death, my soul goes up to you.
