We. pduie to- tememlyzt . . . T Sgt. Carl W. Gruber Sgt. Marshall Cornelius, Jr. . . . those who will not b e coming back — to classrooms and labs, to football field and the new gym; who will not tread the campus paths again — in golden autumn or in spring. We pause to remember those who gave their best — their lives, so that there might be a coming back for others. Carl entered the service in February, 1943, with the Army Reserves. He trained in Florida, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Arizona and Nebraska; and went overseas a year later as radio operator and aerial gunner on a Liberator bomber. He was killed in action on his 35th bombing mission on the way back to Italy from the Ploesti oil fields. He received the Air Medal with two oak leaf clusters, the D. F. C, the Presidential Citation, and the Purple Heart. Corny was a paratrooper in the 82nd All-American Airborne Division. He was killed with small enemy fire and is buried in an American cemetery close to Nijemegen, Holland. To use the words of his mother, His captain tells me he died saying the Lord ' s Prayer, and had peace of mind. I only hope all our sons are not dying in vain. And that is the sincere prayer of all of us; that we may make a world and a peace worthy of their sacrifice. Simultaneous with President Truman ' s announcement of Japanese surrender, came the news of the death of Ned Horstick, ' 46, killed in performance of duty with the Air Corps in the China-Burma- India theater of war. The news was too recent for a picture, but we, his classmates, cannot forget Ned and his sacrifice that makes our words empty and insufficient. 20
