CLASS HISTORY Dy Bas ane ; September 1939, Germany invaded Poland; two days later Great Britain and France simultaneously declared war on Germany. While Poland fought for existence, the Allies held to their policy of watchful waiting on the Western Front. Russia formed a pact with Germany and thus ended Poland’s existence from the east. The world was plunged into another great war. Meanwhile, in the United States, the people decided ‘that they had learned their lessons from the first world war and wanted nothing to do with the conflict in Europe.

In November we made another important contribution to the life of our school, this time in the literary field. Gordon Fuller, Dorothy Dill, Dorothy Plausse, and Virginia Chippola joined the staff of The Tatler, our new High School publication, sponsored by Miss Hannon.
