President Roosevelt signs anti-inflation bill. A mCmOl'ilIJlC month? Yes. It is September. 1942. To some 250 boys and girls, the month of September, 1942, will stand out forever: not because of world events, but because in that month, they first trod the corridors as students of East High. While battle after battle raged across the seas, these young students turned earnestly to their Civics books. Freshmen. Excited, happy but bewildered. They gazed with awe upon upper-classmen and wished that they might be so debonair. Flash! September, 1943. Iran declares war on Germany. Russians capture Smolensk and Roslavi. Allies invade mainland of Italy. Meanwhile, at East High, this same group of boys and girls plugged away at their studies. They saw their brothers, dads, and uncles going off to war. Perhaps the boys wished they might be older so that they, too, might join the ranks of the armed forces. But, instead, they joined whole-heartedly into salvage campaigns, Red Cross drives, and bought war stamps regularly each week through their home rooms. They did their job on the home front-and did it well. C ass n non S pttmbel I9I1 Iilt nity Luxembourg liberals-tl by Allied f 11r'4'c- s. The United States First Army forces occupy Sedan on the Belgian border. Warsaw, capital of Poland, falls into German hands. Juniors, now, these noble ones. Full of im- portance and sophistication. April, 1945, and our great leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, died. The shock, which shook the entire world, was felt deeply by those at East. lt was during the summer vacation that the news of complete and unconditional surrender came to the United States. It put a new light on affairs at East. It would mean the return of soldiers and sailors: the relaxing of many a war-weary muscle. The Class of 1946 re- turned to the familiar corridors with a new determination to be good citizens in a peace- ful world. And so began the last year, with its foot- ball games, dances, pleasures, and work. And while these seniors worried over the Ohio State Apitude Test, world history was in the making. Peace plans were offeredg the United Nations were making decisions that might alter the world. Yes, the Class of '46 came to East in a world of bloodshed, chaos, and warg emerged, with their learning, into a world preparing for peace. I-U XII!
