SENIORS IN SERVICE We saw V-J day celebrated two years ago but still we have four of our classmates serving in the armed services. They left behind their studies and old friends to serve in different branches of our armed forces, and although we were reluctant to see them go, it was with a feeling of deep pride that we watched them give their services to Uncle Sam. However, it was the same way in schools all over the country for when these young men saw a duty before them more urgent and important than studies and classrooms, they did not hesi- tate to answer its call. Nicholas Simeone and Samuel Staiti were the first to go. They left us February, 1946 for the Navy. Nicky is at sea now with a second class seamen ' s rating. Sammy is stationed at Virginia Beach with a third class gunner ' s ratin George Janulevicus and Robert Carpenter left us in October, 1946. George went to radio school after his training at Parris Island. Robert is going to school at Camp Le Jeune in South Carolina. Both boys are privates. We will miss them on graduation night but we will be proud of them also, for they are serving us and helping to maintain the peace of the world which is so necessary to our future.
