DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI.

In Memory of K.G.W., who Died near Arras, Juno IX., A.D MCMXVII. A fascination from his childhood's years; A fascination both to young and old: And on tho football field among his peers, And in the home he loved a thousandfold, Ho found Ids true vocation in his prime, And iiving for it put in all his time;

At tho call of God, for God and country died. In all his flush, of youth and manhood's pride, There in that Held of Arras thrice renowned, In life and death to connades true was found; Somo influence for good he left, behind That will not vanish like a passing wind; Within the School he won athletic lame, And now in death, has won a nobler name. And helps to keep alive within the Seiiool With many a mate beside, the Golden Rule,' To live one's life for others day by day, And in this nobler life to pass away. To where what's best in human nature thrives, And men do reap the harvest of their lives; Where progress ever goes from more to more, And life grows ever greater than before: 11 is no funeral dirge we sine for ono Who from this life to higher Life has gone: Hill praise to God Who gave, and lakes away His life into the far diviner day. Where work is found him kindling all hi; powers, Nor sin nor frailtv mar the glowing hems: .May ( brist ii.voile bis ,oul, may ('lirvl receive him. Within Who e gracious keeping there we leave him.
