Plainfield High School - Milestone Yearbook (Plainfield, NJ)

We, the 1943 graduating class of Plainfield High School, respectively dedi- cate this book to those of our former classmates who are now serving with the armed forces of our country. These are days when history is in the making. Perhaps, therefore, the history of the class of °43 is more significant. These are days when our civilization is assailed by barbarians from the most remote to the very intimate shores of our universe. These are days of terror and destruction, but they are days of courage, and daring, and forbearance as well. These are days calling for heroes and heroines. We know that those of our school fellowship, to whom we dedicate this record of accomplishments, are of the material from which such heroes spring. It is with confidence deep and true that we dedicate our faith to them, even as they have dedicated their honor and their very lives to their beloved country and for all mankind.
