0F '45 ALUTE Yllll FELLO GRAD ATE Four years ago there were enrolled with us at Cathedral Latin these nine students whom we now salute. To all ap- pearances, they would lead exactly the same life as the rest, For four years, they would tread the some halls, take the same courses, gripe over the same problems, attend the same dances, and, so we thought, graduate on the same day. But the year was l94l, and with that year came a sunny December afternoon that changed all that. Not that we realized it then. No, not at first, but as the rest of Am- erica quickly learned that the war was to require sacrifices, we also learned. Even as elsewhere in our awakening land, there were some who were to learn a little sooner, a little crueler, there were those at Latin who realized before the rest of us that war was demanding. To those nine who, be- cause of abnormal world conditions, sacrificed a year of their high school life, we say, Good Luck, Fellow Graduates of Latin. M Grozdamc E De Simone A. Refe J. Powers K.
