TO THOSE WHO SERVE OUR NATION OB more than a century the United States and the nations of South and Central America have steadily drawn closer in an effort to realize international cooperation and friendship. The Pan-American Union, since its inception, has constantly been a meqns' of fostering this unity among the twenty-one countries. Today, unfortunately, there exist nations who believe that power is of paramount importance, that might is the only cri- terion of right, that other people are inferior and must be en- slaved to the will of these totalitarian powers. As these misled nations have encroached upon the rights of free people, it is only natural that a bitter struggle has ensued. Now the Ameri- cas are called upon to defend their way of living and their belief in the effectiveness and necessity of international friendship. Our youth who have been educated for an active and success- ful role in peaceful pursuits are being summoned to devote their talents and lives to the defense of our freedom and to the exten- sion of our manner of living to the oppressed peoples of the world. From all parts of our nation men are responding to the call, determined that civilization as we know it shall exist and become better, no matter how powerful the forces of evil. The call to service has been felt and answered gladly in La Salle as in every other community. By this list of names, which is probably far from complete, though we have striven to make it so, we recognize those young men who are serving in the armed forces of their nation. We salute these former students of La Salle who are doing their utmost to show the world that good neighbors shall never succumb to totalitarian rule. 29
