- The Eclrxo W - ,1' 'is- SALUTE TO THE FACULTY IN THE WAR We salute these men, for we know that the services we gave will seem small, when measured with their accomplishments. We knew these men as teachers, counselors, and what is more, as true friends. Their absence is felt much by the gap they have left. But until they have all returned, we are fortu- nate in having such competent teachers to take their places during their ab- sence. We await the day of their return for we know that by their unselfishness, sacrifices, and influence they have rendered great service to our beloved coun- try. A veteran of World War I, Captain DeFord again volunteered his services. He has been in charge of war prisoners at Camp Haan, California. Lieutenant Reed participated with the occupational forces which entered Iapan, while a- board U. S. S. Todd. Lieutenant Gittings, who has resumed his position as our music teacher, took part in the invasion of Southern France, and the capture of Rome. Captain Iones was a Communications officer while serving in the Pa- cific theater of VVar. Captain DeFord, Lieutenant Reed, Lieutenant Gittings, Captain Iones, We Salute You!
