As the years passed, its prestige increased until, at graduation time, it had acquired a record of which it could be justly proud. Many of its members had made definite con- tributions toward the honor of their Alma Mater.

Popular were The Sweater Dance, The Snow Ball, Ration Hop Jil, and ml-he Spring Frolic, but the Girl Reserves' Spring Formal and the Junior-Senior Prom were social events that would long be remembered. The school term ended in a whirl of activity, and l939 seemed to be far in the past. Yet it represented a steppingstone to the present, just as I943 was to become a door to the future. Seniors preparing for graduation and departure from school realized the significance of their class motto- Nothing great is lightly won.
