We, the Senior Class of 1944, do dedicate this annual to the late Captain Harold Moore, U. S. Army. He was a former Poquoson High School graduate of the class of ' 34. Captain Moore was killed in an airplane accident in Africa on February 22, 1943. He was posthumously awarded the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross. We hold the words of Major Charles J. Hilmes, Jr., acting chief of decorations and awards, as an inspiration of the spirit instilled in our graduates. Major Hilmes wrote: Captain Moore ' s high devotion to duty, coupled with out- standing airmanship, contributed materially to the accomplish- ment of a mission of extreme importance to the war effort of the United Nations, therefore reflecting great credit upon him- self and the Army Air Force.
