y ( ' ((((•(( ion Fear no more the heat o ' the sun, Nor the furious winter ' s rages; Thou thy norldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta ' cn thy wages . — Shakespeare. The weary vistas of time fade into the dim obscurity and lingering forget- fulness of history ' s spent yesterdays. One bulwark alone stands immutable against the annihilating ravages of heedless time — the all-encompassing reservoir of memory. The printed word has ever served to buttress this sacred fount. Here, then, we r ecord for all time our poignant sorrow at the loss of three valourous champions of freedom ' s cause, of three warmhearted friends. Here, too, we set forth for everlasting ages the incontrovertible faith which inspired them. No amount of eulogizing will compensate for our loss. No words of solace will ever bridge the timeless chasm separating us from the living, laughing friends we knew. We can still recall with what exacerbating fury one tragic report fol- lowed the next, leaving us with a desolate impotence and a crying heart. But when strident blasts of hatred, cruelty, and persecution will have ceased to be, then from these honored dead we will take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. To your sacred memories — JEROME ROBBINS, LEONARD KLAPP- HOLZ, RABBI LOUIS WERFEL — we dedicate this Masmid.

zleclicatiori Late Chaplain LOUIS WERFEL Late Pvt. LEONARD KLAPPHOLTZ Late Pvt. JEROME ROBBINS should die. Oh God, I ask bill this — that ill the midst of all the noise and smell — the hungry whine of the bullets — the exploding shells — the loud shouts, and screams ripped out of throats above open stomachs sloivly, oozing gut; the sickening sweet smell of half-charred bodies (Surely not your handiwork) with the siveat running down your armpits and your leaden arms and legs gradually blissfully numbing and your fingers clutching the heated rifle and your insides knotted into a tight ball of fear, and the glaze before your eyes mnking everything so horribly unreal yet so real at the same time — H hen suddenly It happens — and you are no more . . . All I ask for, God, in the brief second before Eternity swalloivs me up — a glimpse of the world That Is To Be — Jf here no man need make prayer like mine — Then will I know There is meaning amidst this man-made madness . . -By the Late JEROME ROBBINS.
