I Salute December seventh, 1941, brought the infamous deeds of the Japan- ese at Pearl Harbor. Already, Hitler, the beast of Germany, was over running the democratic countries of the world. Our gov- ernment immediately called for the best young men in the coun- try to hunt down and destroy these enemies in their home lands. Men — fearless, courageous, and strong in body, mind and spirit — were the only ones accepted for this hazardous work that we call war. You graduates of the Rens- selaer High School — Buck, John, Eddie, Tom, Chuck, Cal, Sonny, Paul, Bob — were among the thousands that cheerily respond- ed for combat service. Your skill, your training, your ability to take punishment carried you into the foxholes of no man’s land, over the flak protected fortifications of the enemy, and onto the battle- wagone of the seas. You gave your lives in service that the rest of us might live in freedom. There is no greater service than to give one’s life for his fellowmen. May your names forever shine in bril- liant splendor at the head of all graduates of the Rensselaer High School! V7 vx I vx u I Yx vx Si Si Si
