Columbia High School can hr justly proud of the war- time record it has made for itself, ami we as member of the Class of 1945 may look hack with a great deal of satisfaction on that record and the | arl we have played in its making. In 1943, when we were sophomores, the school bought $115,(KM), worth of war bonds. It was also during our first year at Columbia that we shifted from a peacetime to a wartime program. To facilitate this change new courses were added to our curriculum: more ami more emphasis was placed oil mathematics and the sciences, and above all on physical education. Furthermore, our extra-curricular activi- ties were altered so as to prepare the hoys for entrance into the armed forces. Several new clubs were formed; among them were the M. A. „ First Aid, Camouflage, Map-Making, Model Plano Building, and other clubs. Still another important occurrence of our sophomore year was the formation of the Victory Corps. This organiza- tion was established to serve both the community and the student. Examples of service to the community are practically numberless. They include work on paper drives, on the rationing hoard, at the South Orange Community House, work for the mcrican Bed Cross, and child care. Included in the services to the school and student arc the sale «if war bonds ami stamps, educational movies ami assembly programs, and more specialized films to aid those going into the armed forces. Through the Victory Corps alone, Columbia has «lone more than its share in assisting tin war cITorl. We may l«»ok hack with particular pride on our accel- erated program. Since it- inception in January. 1943. five classes numbering over one hundred students altogether have boon graduated. This means that despite the inroads made by the draft, no hoy m « «l leave high sclmol w ithout a diploma. Considerable credit must he given to the members «»f tin faculty, who have given and will continue to give so much of their time. Then there are those events which g« on year after year, come what may. Even with the scarcity of equipment and difficulties in transportation we have carried on all our sports, and during this past year all «if our teams were «if the high calibre characteristic of Columbia High. «• have been no less successful in the field of histrionics. Everyone, especially the cast, has a soft spot in his heart f«ir that ofT-spring «if the Pre-Junior Night Committee. “About Face.” What with such characters as an Indian princess and prince, a la«ly mayor, three gallant and disillusioned soldier , anti, of course, tin camel: and with a setting in Imlia, tin show couldn't miss being a hit. Our offering as a Senior Play was equally successful. It was J. M. Barrie's charming fantasy. “A Kis- for Cinder ella.” which dealt with a modern Cinderella and her police- man-prince. It was a show with a big cast and complex staging, a favorite with everyone. We have trie«l to cram into a short space tlx- activities and events of the last three years. Those years have be« n full ones, so full that everything can not possibly he put down on paper. But we hope enough has been said to reflect the spirit of these years. W « all have gotten a lot out of high sehool. W e've made new friends and acquaintances; we've gained new knowledge. W e have had wonderful times inside of cho« l and out. B« - lieve it or not. we've been happy, carefree. We never will feel «piite the same happiness again. W « won't hceause we're not kids anymore; we've grown up. But the memories are still there, and w can’t lose them. I’ll He Six COLUMBIA HICH SCHOOL
