To our Simpson Soldiers and Sailors, we, the class of 1919, dedicate this book. We appreciate more deeply than we can ever express what our men in khaki arc doing for us, and arc proud of their loyalty to their country. Since the night of that memorable mass meeting in the gymnasium, April 13, 1917, when our first boys joined the National Guard, they have been constantly leaving school to join the colors. They are now scattered over France and Italy and England and various camps in our own country, and are serving in practically every department of the army and navy. We ask of them that they serve to the best of their ability and in the spirit of Simpson, and we pledge to them our loyal support and earnest endeavor to keep standards high here at home;—so that working together we may bring victory for democracy. “Whispering maples” rustling tell us, In the campus here to-day, How we miss our Simpson class-mates Whom our country’s called away; How, with thoughts of them we promise To our nation we’ll be true That we all may raise the standards Of democracy anew. If the sun is hot, and the wind blows cold, If things go crooked and the officers scold, Just hold up your head and do your best Because old Simpson, best school in the west, Is thinking of you all the time. You answered when you heard the nation calling; Accepted, then, our work and yours to do, And o’er the campus, still, the maples whisper That you belong to us and we to you. 9 9
