FOLLOW OUR MARCHING MEN Across memory ' s stage marched soldiers — to The Marseillaise, to God Save the King, to Yankee Doodle, and to Dixie. Dusty boots shone as the strains of The Mar- seillaise swung them along, for the song meant the army, and the army meant — France! An orator in Berkeley Square spoke two hours about the English forces in the Boer war and only four of his words were heard by the English people, God Save the King. These people marched for a king, but over in America men marched for a principle — they marched for democracy. Ragged feet beat time to a new rhythm and a new tempo — that of freedom! And for them Yankee Doodle meant America ! In 1863 drums rolled a funeral hymn for the United States. Yankee Doodle no longer meant a union but represented what was left of a bleeding republic. From the South came a lilting air — Dixie — as the feet of a decadent aristocracy stepped proudly to its strains and gave to the world an example of noble (if misguided) bravery. . . Today the wounds have healed — rather they have been stitched to- gether by the master surgeon — Time. Twenty-five years ago, Americans marched under a flag that meant purity, bravery, courage. Today America must again march together in unity or the stitches will break and there will be a gaping wound in the United States. There is a challenge to be met — can we, America, give proof that OUR flag is still there? — and to the men in the armed forces — in the Navy, in the Army, and in the Marines — we dedicate this Yearbook.
