President Sophie Popovich, Editor-in-Chief Mildred Markusic, Treasurer History ot the Class oi Iune '43 '43 entered. From this l-lazy was the world into which our class of Iune freshman year blossomed a class of 368 younq men and women prepared to u hold the diilicult steps in a world ol turmoil. P The first three years gave us our basic training while the fourth and most 'm ortant year placed us in certain degrees on the scale ot ability. Our senior 1 D year was memorable, Socially we experienced such events as the senior ' ' t' oi 1 ction the suspenses ot the class notable election, the various ques ions ee . the senior prom, and ever so many other important items. Educationally, ' it tl derstandinq the outside chaos, we worked harder and more e icien y. Lll'l There were more subjects in accord with the war atmosphere such as pre-flight and a more strenuous physical program, Throughout the tour years the goals of the football and baseball teams, th tame of the Choral clubs, and the school paper have drawn the class to- e qether to a common cause which has made Bowen outstanding. Unforqetable were the calls to our younq men from our country to serve in our army, navy, marine and air corps, and here they anxiously awaited their chance to defend their beloved rights. In each individual character was tound one typical American feeling-to hope lor the best and to prepare lor the worst.

P-'fgye Yiwentv-six ' ' Here's to a boy behind a gun, He is some mother's tighting son, Through efforts of his, the war will be won- Here's to the army on foreign soil, Beating the Axis with sweat and toil, While Allies aid with guns arid oil- Here's to the navy sailing o'er the Ocean, Keeping the battle lines always in motion, VtHiile tiring from cannons their deadly potion- l-lere's to the marine where 'er he be, Fighting on land or on the sea. Doing his bit to preserve liberty- Here's to a WAAC all dressed in brown, Always willing, never a frown, She's promised not to let the army down- Here's to our WAVES in navy blue. Taking a man's place and serving too, Proving themselves Bowenites true- Here's to a nurse in red and white, Helping heal with all her might, Aicling all who are there to fight- Here's to the iolks working in the mill, Tempering, pounding to keep Axis guns still. Working, working, saying always, l will - Here's to the collectors oi brass and old keys, To make munitions to sink the Iapanese, Doing their bit, caring naught lor fees- Here-'s to the blood given by our civilians, And to the bonds they buy by the billions, 'To help save the lives of our fighting millions- l-Iere's to those who serve 'neath red, white, and blue, To all Bowenites so brave and true, Our annual is hereby dedicated to you. -Mary Lou Vidovich . fu- N, L L 1' l
