and your standards not only stand the
test of wholesomenesS by youth, but
more important still, your ideals match
youths ideals in freshness and zeSt. We
feel that we have known you long

the war. Later, during the period of
cropping for the troops. we learned from
your record that to the victor in war
belong not the spoils but the privilege
of serving humanity.
