IHl IH43 IHHLIHN The 1942-43 school year has been unique in the annals of East High. During the past year we students have watched our brothers, friends and classmates leave to take part in a global war knowing full well that some may never return. Challenged by their patriotism, we have felt a renewed interest in the pursuit of knowledge that we might be as well equipped as possible to do our own part in the struggle when the call to serve our country comes to us. During the past year we have devoted much of our time, our money, and our interest toiactivi- ties new and formerly somewhat foreign to a high school curricu- lum. We purchased defense stamps and bonds, we learned the rudiments of first-aid, we collected scrap, we added new courses of study, and we intensified our program of mental and physical development. These activities we have pic- tured for you in this 1943 Trojan, a story of East High School in a year of war. East students ride in jeep they are helping to buy.

HMUNU lHl H Before we can undertake to pilot our own lives with any degree oi Conti' dence and acumen we must learn the rudiments of living from com- petent and experienced instructors. Iust as the pre-flight candidate enters the air school knowing little about planes and leaves there skilled in their use, so we enter school know- ing little about life and leave better prepared to meet its varied exig- encies .... For this preparation we are indebted to those who made life in our training field an interesting and challenging experience . . . the board of education, the administra- tion and the faculty. UH!
