c lidpc that manv of the old graduates will again become interested in the Alumni. Then, last but not least, will be the initiating and welcoming of the nineteen nineteen class into the Alumni Association on Friday evenins , May 23d. at the Centurv Club Hall. We know every Senior will be there and will be . ;lad of the opportunity to become acquainted with the old grads. .After the initiating and business meetin;;. we will ha e a jazz band play for dancing and if the .Ahinini memljers would like to chat and play cards the tables will be ready. The directors as well as the association at large have felt keenly the loss of their fellow graduate and Junior Past President, Robert H. Wilson, who ])asse l a a - on December twentv-second. We ha e missed his helpful and ever-ready advice — especialh ' in arranging the cuts for the notices, and his smile at all the meetings. I want t(i take this opportunit}- to thank the directors, and our secretary, for the able way in which they have assisted me during the last year. J. C. Uhti-., President. President — J. C. I ' hte.

LUMNI Alumni President ' s Report Wl . arc aliiiut to end oiu- nf the hardest years known in the history of tile Alumni Association, liecause of tlie fact that so many of our members, especially those of the later classes, who ha e heen some of our most acti ' e members, have been called into the service. The Alumni Association ilid its little mite by i)urcha ing a [.iberty I ' loml, and War . savings Stamps and also remitted dues of all members in the service. Lookinjj l)ack over the year ' s work we find we haven ' t fared so badly after all, considering our many drawbacks. Our first social event of the year was the Hoodoo Party, given on Fr ' day evening, the thirteenth of September, in the W ' ilmerding Auditorium. It was far from a hoodoo, as the name might suggest, because it was another informal affair, very much like the Do As You Please Party, of last year. Besides being a party, this affair was an indoor field meet, and the spectators in the grand- stand enjoyed the fun as well as the contestants in the games and races. After the meet, ' ' a jazzy orchestra played for a few dances and then 1 looverized refresh- ments were served. This event was followed by our big X ' ictory Dance and Reunion at the bair- mont Hotel, on .Saturday evening. I )ecember seventh. As usual it was a grand success, but we regret not ha ing had more of our Ixns from ( )ver There with us at our ictory. Since we f iund that we were turning all nf our attentions to those at home we decided to plan something wherebv we coidd raise mone ' enough to enter- tain our boys when they came home from ( )ver There. Our i lans led to a theater ])arty. The Alcazar Theater was reser ed for the evening of March seventh and the members of tlie Alumni and their many friends sujiported us to the limit in seeing the comedy, Xot ith My Money. Those of you who vverc not at the Palace after the show missed a good time, for the Almnni had the Concert Hall and enjoyi-d the refreshments and dancing while they were getting acc|uainted. Mrs. Carrie D. Ilowland is pl;mning a reunion at the (linn House on .Sun- day, April 13. 1919, for the old timers, those attending Lick the first ten years. L.-W.-L. LIFE Page One Hundred Fourteen

iln Hirimiriam iianll Hilltam iUnbrrts (Elasa nf 1916 (0rtiibrr2B. 1B9B ©rtnbrr 4. 1 9 1 8 Q [}B il ' nyn of iFraur? Official Citation ROBERTS, HAROLD W. (1013943), Corporal, Company A, 344th Battalion, Tank Corps (Deceased). For conspicuous gallantry and intrepedity above and beyond the call of duty in action with the enemy in Montrebeau Woods, October 4, 1918. Corporal Roberts, a tank driver, was moving his tank into a clump of bushes to afford protection to another tank, which had been disabled. The tank slid into a shell hole, ten feet deep, filled with water, and was immediately sub- merged. Knowing that only one of the two men in the tank could escape. Corporal Roberts said to the gunner: Well only one of us can get out, and out you go, whereupon he pushed his companion through the back door of the tank and was himself drowned. Corporal Roberts is one of America ' s Immortals. He gave his life, coolly, deliberately, for you. He enlisted in the Great Adventure. He made the Supreme Sacrifice and has gone Beyond, and rests in his last earthly bed on the hills of France. We can hear him now in his last silent prayer: I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy, in that America which I shall see no more. But it is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done ; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known. I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live : and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die L.-W.-L.
