V-J Day! What did thai mean to nicy . . . . If meant a deep, inexpressible thankfulness — a silent happiness that could not have been put into words. . .and it meant too that I among thousands of other school girts was to be a senior in a world struggling to create and maintain the precious peace it had won.... As these thoughts run through my mind, I remember the changes which war brought to school. . . .1 remember the stairway rush when an air-raid warning sounded. . .the bus-less trips to Boston for Twelfth Night and Macbeth . . .the nights of bandage-rolling .. .and knitting ... .oleo-d and meat- less days. . .and abundance of free mail and V-mrw.il. . . wonderful, wonderful free-days to make up for the war- restricted Spring vacation when books were put away for twenty-four whole hours! . . .all these things and yet, noiv, they seem unimportant compared to that intangible thing which has made my life here of greater significance . . . .1 have learned so much more than Latin, chemistry or history . . .1 have learned not only to appreciate such things but to appreciate the inherent dignity of life, and of every human being. . . .Somehow, the half -thoughts and visions of the future which had come with me as a prep, have sharpened until they stand out clearly. . . until they have become a high star, a goal. . . . Above all, I have learned how to become a finer, more effective person, and to that person I must never fail to strive to remain true. Baronial Memories Overtones Senior Class [15]
