. and £alt -fjavan Up Center each goes daily. The trolleys, bowling alleys, skating rinks. Town Hall, the Dime, and more prosaic stores all become part of them And are their education. In the drug stores that are their social centers They sip, not cokes, but Life itself, eat ice cream and candy bars That are nectar and ambrosia. The churches, Old Stone, Christ, St. Vincent de Paul minister to their spirits. Thus in September, 1942, Ayr, Ahearn, Bombriant, Costanzo, McManus, Clancy, Heffernan, Shoemaker, Malliaris, Struzynski, Strickland, Bowden, Piombino, Rossetti, Bryant, Malcolm, Jones, Iezzi and the rest, Names Scotch, Irish, English, Polish, Italian, French, Norwegian, Swedish, Greek, Russian, German present themselves For their last year in their beloved school. They are keenly aware of what they mean in East Haven, Foxon, Momauguin; They know as well the happenings in lands afar from which their forbears came. Events have taught the lesson that if any nation hold aught more dear Than freedom, it will lose that thing—and freedom, too. They take in stride Blackout, Air Raid Alert, Scrap Drive, USO, and rationing. Above their heads the airplanes drone, And sharp stacatto of machine gun practice punctuates their study. These teach them swiftly that East Haven is Connecticut and That a part of one great land, my country ; that no man May live for self, or by bread alone, that only he that loseth life may find it. Class mates threescore take, steady-eyed, their oaths of allegiance. They go to fight, if need be, die, for freedom. Each knows, In blinding flash, that education and East Haven Come to full fruition, in their clear purpose, pointing steadily Like Old Stone Spire, To give—or live—each his one life for freedom's sake.
