To the Members of the Graduating Class of 1943: You are graduating at a time of world struggle and unrest unparalleled in the history of all men. It is altogether probable that most of you will shortly be serving your country either in the armed services or behind the lines on the home front. Remember always that it i s a country well worth serving. Seek service according to your talents and in the field that your talents will help your country most. After the struggle is over you will have a satisfaction that even time can never take away from you. It will be the satisfaction that in time of stress you served the United States of America to the very best of your ability. Good luck and Godspeed. Sincerely, Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools. [4]

To the Graduating Class: Graduating from Saugus High School this year should take on a new sig- nificance. It was only a few years ago that we as teachers were very much con- cerned because our graduates were not able to find employment. The war has completely changed this picture. Before next fall the majority of boys in this class will be in some branch of the service. Already a great many are in the service and have completed their basic training. Every girl in this class who wishes to do so will be able to find employment. The school is desirous of helping each member of the class. Our Guidance Department can be of great service to you, not only now, but in the months and years that lie ahead. Keep in touch with us. Do not break your ties with the school. John A. W. Pearce, Principal. [5]
