East Haven High School - Pioneer Yearbook (East Haven, CT)

Page 15 text:

The class of 1944 has had to accept challenges just as its predecessors had to do, but it has been confronted with more and greater problems than any East Haven class. War conditions made it necessary for many of the members to join the armed forces in which capacity they are doing their part in all parts of the world. The others have done part time war work in addition to carrying on the regular school program. Despite the handicaps the members have maintained a real class spirit and have exerted a wholesome influence on the school and the community. We know that this spirit, carried on in the future, will insure a successful community and country. WILLIAM E. GILLIS Superintendent of Schools For the past year you, as representatives of the school body, have been compiling facts and getting pictures as records of your four years at East Haven High School. To be elected to membership on The Pioneer Staff is not only an honor but a responsibility. I feel you have taken your honor modestly and accepted the responsibility conscientiously. The spirit of cooperation with which you have worked together and worked with your adviser, Miss Ethel Kennedy, has made the quality of this volume possible. In the years to come as you look back on these pages, I am sure you will remember not only the hard work but the many pleasures coinciding with the compiling of this record of your high school career. Congratulations! WILLIAM E. FAGERSTROM Principal 11
