Clearwater High School - Aqua Clara Yearbook (Clearwater, FL)

j oxz(tfo%d The Aqua Clara is a key to recall things we have enjoyed and wish to remember— things that have only been possible because we have been born in this land. This year, our graduating class calls its loyal to the colors, for we fight for the rights we have long enjoyed, and we fight for the heritage which has made our lives, our schooling, and our way of life possible — the heritage of freedom — for it must never die. We, the Senior Class of 1943, present to you the “War Edition of the Aqua Clara”. We hope you like it.

oj- thz SznLoi dta±± Four years ago, we, the Lieutenants of 1943, entered as privates in the great camp of high school education at Fort C.H.S. During the first year, we did very little except to name Dick Caldwell as our head “drill sergeant”. At the time of our promotion to corporals in 1940, we were joined by corporals from the basic training camp at Dunedin and Safety Harbor and entered whole-heartedly into the work at Fort C.H.S. Our comrades-in-arms soon began to take notice of these high-rating corporals for we began to take part in the various social activities of the Fort. That year Chester McMullen was chosen as our 0. D., with Mrs. Lillie Milam as C.O. We found ourselves shipwrecked while on maneuvers, but were able to rescue ourselves in order to decorate for and usher at the baccalaureate service of 1941. Sergeants! Three Stripes! In this office we took a greater part in the activities at Fort C.H.S. With Mary Collins and Miss Sara de Kirkpatrick leading our company, this time, we inau- gurated, during Junior Week, the flag raising ceremony- gave - ception for our parents, entertained our superior officers in an air-raid shelter, and decorated for their graduation. Then the great day came — we received our commission — full-fledged Lieutenants — we had our bar.
