1 LC' 5558 SSX If ffl ff! A' 2111.1 - ggggg Cry 3' ' IN THIS SECTION we memorialize those former men of Norwich who laid down their lives in World War II. It is about eighty percent complete. We are sorry that we could not secure representation of the remaining dead, whom we honor no less than these. As you turn the pages of this section you will recall some former cadets more vividly than others, but all of these men are precious memories for those who gave them life and loved them. Many of these war dead were comrades of some Veteran now at Norwich. Some Alumnus or Faculty member will recall the older ones and think wistfully for a while on the pathos of human life and the tragic cost of inevitable war. Little did these men think as they trudged up the Hill for the first time that some day they would become members of a glorious Company, of various rank, class, and age-but equally honored and exalted because they gave all that a man can give-their lives. As Norwich cadets they have shared our tradi- tions, sung our songs, moved in these familiar halls, and endured the Vermont winters and the professor's examination. These men took part of Norwich into the conflict in the air, on the land, and on the sea. We were part of them as they were part of us. Though this mystic bond seems to be broken, it is an in- dissoluble relation: they are still men of Norwich. They may or may not remember us. We remember them. Through the horror of war they realized the splendor of their manhood. The nation is pre- served at a very great cost. May we all be worthy of the great price they paid. a N , 6793- -965-
