"From the United States to the most remote islands and continents of the globe are scattered the three hundred thirty-two boys of the Armed Forces of the United States from Karns High School.  The boys are sacrificing their all, if need be, that we may enjoy liberty.  We have the utmost faith that they, some day, will return to us and enjoy the freedom for which they are now fighting.

"To these valiant, courageous, brave, true Americans, we dedicate this volume of the "Gold and Blue" as a small measure of our devotion to them and our appreciation for their noble services."
