MEMORY BOOK To Mary M. Spangler With stammering lips and insufficient sound We pledged to you our hearts ' sincerest praise; Your judgments ever wise are interwound With high-faned truths that win us to your ways. Yours is a friendship we shall not forget: It buoys our hopes and lingers in the mind Through all the perils which our paths beset, A constant benediction, dear and kind. O do not doubt, however Life may run, That always in the yet-untrodden ways We shall remember all that you have done And dedicate to you our votive praise, That we shall put unfaith and faltering by Because your life is leal, your faith is high.

. T. H. S. To the Boys at: the Front From the beginning of time the pages of the world ' s history have been filled with war. But wars differ. First they were the means of settling private disputes. Then the world advanced and they grew to be means of settling international contro- versies. But today we are engaged in a war not for the individual, not for the grati- fication of the mad lust of power possessed by some one man, but for freedom, for humanity, and democracy. We are now engaged in the world ' s greatest war, a war different from any prev- ious war experienced by this nation. No longer are the praises of some one individual sung; no longer of one race or nationality or creed, but of the melted army made up of all races, of all creeds and all nationalities. This is the thing which characterizes this war of the twentieth century. During the past this institution has stimulated not only a patriotism for America, but a respect for the thing which is right. So there were those in the high school who heard the call of humanity and answered it by their enlistment. We who are at home cannot fully appreciate the offer of self for the good of others made by the boys from the high school. But when tomorrow is history and the world shall resume the ways of peace, in recording the history of this period, the historian will lcserve a large Epace for the praise of those who made the world safe for democracy and democracy safe for the world.
