Page 4 THE BATTALION THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 19, 1945 Silver Taps To Be Played For Aggie World W ar II Dead Sat. Approximately Four Hundred-Fifty Exes Have Made Supreme Sacrifice In Memory of those Aggies who have given their lives for their country in the present global war, Silver Taps will be observed Saturday night. According to rec ords kept by the Former Students Association approximately 450 former students have made the supreme sacrifice thus far. These records are incomplete though as word has not yet been received of the death of many others. At a recent meeting of the Sen ior Class it was decided that Sil ver Taps would be an appropriate means of remembering the former students who had given their lives for their country. Greatest suffered in casualties thus far has been the class of ’41 which has lost 64 former mem bers. Next is the class of ’42 with 57 followed by the class of ’40 with 54 lost forever. Listed below are those who have been reported killed in Woi’ld War II along with the place where they were mortally wounded. It must be remembered that this list does not include every former student casualty but just those who have been reported to the office of the Former Students’ Association. since fall of Bataan. LT.
