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

Another year, another yearbook, another class graduating. This year's group started its schooling during the depression years. It continued during the years when peace in our time failed to materialize, and it is completing one phase of its education when planning for the new peace is upon us. Such a course through school has never before been given to any other group to such a degree. Many obstacles have been overcome by you. No longer can the charge be made that today's youth is not equal to the tasks set before it. There will be more obstacles to face and we feel sure that you have the ability to surmount them. Credit is due you for accomplishments of the past few years — especially to those who may receive their yearbooks in far flung places or who may have to wait a year or two before seeing them. Best wishes are due you in facing the tasks which lie ahead. William E. Gillis Superintendent of Schools Nine groups of students at East Haven High School have compiled facts and illustrated incidents relative to their four years as students in the East Haven High School. Each group has produced an interesting and colorful record. This has been done because they have displayed energy, ingenuity and interest. They have worked cooperatively as a group with their sponsors. The Pioneer has, therefore, become an institution. Those aspiring to board membership are those who are interested not only in producing a book but in playing on a good team. In these changing days you have produced a record. In the years to come it will be interesting for you to look back and review the events of the past four years. I am sure you will remember with much pleasure the happy hours you spent in seeing that the 1945 Pioneer was of the same high quality as those preceding it. William E. Fagerstrom Principal 13
