In September of 1941 many thousands of boys and girls began their formal education with enrollment in first grade. At that time they thought that twelve years of school would practically be an entire lifetime. But now we have finished those twelve years of education. It is not our purpose here to dwell on those trying days of learning to read, write, do arithmetic, and the thousands of other things that go with school. Instead we would like you to go with us on an investigation tour of the many changes that have taken place in the world around us while we were absorbed with school. In that September when we merrily ran or were wearily dragged to school, we did not know much about Hitler or the Nazi threat. It did not mean anything to us that Western Europe was already involved in war. However, it was only four months after we entered school that the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. World War II was the greatest event of our school careers, but it was by no means the only thing that happened. Science, medicine, styles, politics—all have marched on from September, 1941, to May, 1953. The Echo 13
