Arvada High School - Redskin Yearbook (Arvada, CO)

— THE CALL TO ARMS was answered by a large number of Arvada boys, and many more, especially seniors, will enter all branches of the service as soon as school is out. To these boys, and to the girls they left behind to enter Cadet Nursing or other essential work, the war was a very real thing. It taught them to face the future with a grown-up attitude that was strange in teen-agers...The war also brought community bond drives sponsored by the students, new courses in radio, aeronautics, and electricity.
