7 ROLL OF HONOUR OF FORMER PUPILS OF BANFF ACADEMY WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! There's none of these so lonely and poor of old, But dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away ; poured out the red Sweet wine of youth ; gave up the years to be Of work and joy and that unhoped serene That men call age ; and those who would have been Their sons, they gave, their immortality." Rupert Brooke.

9 : ; THE SUPREME SACRIFICE BY JOHN S. ARKWRIGHT. O valiant Hearts, who to your glory came, Through dust of conflict, and thro' battle-flame Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved. Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war, As who had heard God's message from afar, All you had hoped for, all you had you gave To save mankind yourselves you scorned to save. Splendid you passed, the great surrender made, Into the light that nevermore shall fade Deep your contentment in that blest abode, Who wait the last clear trumpet-call of God. Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still, Rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill, While in the frailty of our human clay Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self-same way. Still stands His Cross from that dread hour to this, Like some bright star above the dark abyss ; Still, through the veil, the Victor's pitying eyes Look down to bless our lesser Calvaries. These were His servants, in His steps they trod, Following through death the martyr'd Son of God ; Victor He rose; victorious, too, shall rise They who have drunk His cup of sacrifice. O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our Dead, Whose Cross has bought them and Whose Staff has led- In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing Land Commits her children to Thy gracious hand. Amen.

24 ; Ilth NOV "Armistice signed." Our lips pronounced the words, While yet our inmost hearts could scarce believe That din of war had ceased, that German hordes No longer could their boastful threats achieve. Rejoice, exult, that after years of strife And world-wide bloodshed, right has conquered might, That peace once more has come to sweeten life, And from a war-worn earth has banished night. But ah, to win this end a price was paid, Paid by the noblest, bravest of the land For fathers, brothers, sons all-valiant stayed With their own life-blood, the opposing band. Then nations midst your joy be this your thought, To worthy be of freedom dearly bought. Ruby Dawson, Pupil of Academy. shire Journal
