SENIOR OFFICERS Term VIII Jim Goldstein, Sec1'etary Lila Mae Valentine, Vice President Heber Dodson, President SENIURS Due to the war effort, a general speeding-up has come over Bolton. The seniors of 1943 have taken their studies more seriously than those of previous years. We realize that our most important part in the war at the present is getting a thorough education for the part we will play in the war and the peace which will follow. Seniors who usually would not be seen luggingf many books around, now do so with an unbelievable zeal and can be seen at almost any time pouring: over them like one possessed. We have taken a special interest in pre- flight, a new course offered at Bolton, in physics, trig, and solid geometry, in secretarial courses, and in the current events discussions which have gradually crept into the history classes. We have seen a great change come over the extra- curricular activities which have all been incorporated into the Victory Corps division of Bolton High School, which is devoted to doing all that can possibly be done by the School in accordance with the war effort. We Seniors have seen the oreganization of many new activities such as the Cadet Corps, to give the boys experience in military discipline and drill, which is led chiefly by Seniorsg the Junior WAACS, a girls' drilling outfit which rolls bandages and helps recruit WAACSQ the Greasy Grease Club, organized to collect fats and grease for explosives, and many other similar activities. But though the war program has taken much of the time of us patriotic Seniors and though we will' doubtless remember those happy days when school was dismissed for scrap-collecting, and the many services we donated for victory, we will also remember the pleasures of high school life found in more normal times. Certainly we will remember the B-Club and its dances, those daily sessions by the coke-machine, our football victories, the basketball games with local and Army teams, tag day, pep meetings, etc. We, as Seniors, realize that we are going out into a war-torn world. Many of us will shortly be called into military service for the defense of all tha.t we bel'ieve is right. We will go confidently and ready.
