Seniors Appreci Advisers and llllic WiTh The ouTbreak oi The war in I94l, we, as eighTh-graders, were looking forward To enTering high school. However, our TuTure seemed as dismal as The ensuing war years. Even in The TirsT years oi high school, many changes Took place. Each day we saw more and more classmaTes laying down Their books To pick up arms, and The greaT demand Tor workers Took many oTher sTudenTs. Our Tour years in senior high school were filled wiTh acTiviTies, which, as a rule, do noT exisT during peaceiime: buT we persevered in Bond, Red Cross, War ChesT, and Blood Donor drives. Wifh The help of our advisers, our sTudies and exira curricular acTiviTies were high lighTed wiTh The Senior Ball, Junior Prom, crispy TooTball days, pep rallies, Friday nighT dances, baskeTball games, a championship baseball Team. ln The course oi Tour years, we have seen our counTry oppressed by belligerenT naTions: we have seen iT rise from a peace-loving and unsuspecTing naiion To one ThaT is well aware ThaT eTernaI vigi- lance is necessary Tor a permanenT peace: we have also seen Those belligerenT naTions crushed and conTrolled by The U. S. and her allies. ALFRED J. WROBEL, PresidenT 25l6 W.
