3fn Jflmorg How sleep ihe brave, who sink to rest By all their country ' s wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould. She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy ' s feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung; By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There Honour comes, a pilgrim grey. To bless the turf that wraps their clay, And Freedom shall awhile repair To dwell a weeping hermit, there! (8)

iln fHrmonj— (Hmttuutrfc Yr OLDIFRS of Normal, who gave their lives so graciously, whether in active £S|£ ' battle, in training camps, in the air, on board ship, or where not, the stu- dents, faculty, alumni, board of administrators, and all other friends of the Louisiana State Normal School, pay to them this simple little tribute ol great love and highest respect. On account of war and post-war conditions the plans for this Annual were not for- mulated until very late in this school year, hence our not being able to procure the exact data and pictures of these beloved dead, as we so desired, but the likeness of the excellent soldier, Gordon Peters — so young in years, yet so brave in spirit — which prefaces this In Memonam, is symbolic of all our Normal boys and men, who in the very burst of youth and vigor, died that others might have more and better life, and That the govern- ment of the people, for the people, by the people, should not perish from the earth. How or where or when our brave Normal soldiers died matters not. Whether they sleep on the shores of Sunny France or under bright Italian skies, or in our own dear Ameiican soil where their last resting places are tenderly cared for, their spirits still live, and will never cease to live, not only in the hearts and minds of those nearest and dearest by ties of blood and school associations, but in a newer and finer body of citizens through- cut an international world whose ideal is that of the grand American Republic and thesL e-pecial loved ones — The Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God.
