It is with a sense of helplessness that she watches the casualty lists mount, and a glow of pride as an increasing number of her men distinguish themselves in the line of duty. There is little that can be said to express the sentiment that Hempstead High School feels toward those who are making the supreme sacrifice for their country and their Alma Mater. What can be more fitting than the inspiring words of our national anthem, as a salute to these boys as well as a comfort to our own aching hearts? , 22.
