To Win the War and Keep the Peace” is the theme of the East Rockaway High School Parent-Teachers' Association for the season of 1942-43. We have endeavored to carry out our program in accordance with this all-important theme. Through the combined efforts of our Board, the faculty, and every participating member, the meetings have proved to be enlightening, interesting, and beneficial to all who have attended in spite of gas rationing, dim outs, and war activities. We have continued the policy of our organization by participating in the scholarship award, serving in the lunch room, and urging the students of our school to feel free to call on us in any capacity in which we may serve. To those members of the class of 1943 who have entered the armed forces, we pray for your safe return. To the students who will enter college or business life, we offer a sincere hope for your success in all your endeavors. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President.......
