3io-fLtiv oJid W' --ISW E, the class of 1 943. are going forth into a world at war. Once again the forces of liberty and democracy are pitted against those of tyranny and oppression. In this struggle. America and her allies must crush the foe, not just for the present, but for all time. Only with the future free from the shadow of destructive warfare can the world of tomorrow be a better one. Our goal as we look beyond the present darkness is this—a better, an enlightened tomorrow. Upon us. the youth of today, rests much of the responsibility of achieving this goal. We will not be found lacking. Our job today is to save the world: tomorrow, to rebuild it. Whether it be in the Armed Forces, in industry, or in the pursuit of further education, every member of the class of '43 will do his part to help make the world of the future a better one. This ideal has been the inspiration for our RED-JACKET. Gloria Del Papa, Editor-in-Chief

GI.OR1A DEL PAPA Editor-inChief T. Towle Robinson, Associate Editor MARY McDOLE Asst. Business Manager The Classbook Board WE of the 1943 Classbook Board have had to cope with many difficulties which former editors of the REDJACKET have not encountered. Because of rising prices and shortages, it was at first doubtful that a class-book would be possible. However, having been assured that materials could be obtained, the board immediately started work to present to the senior class a book worthy of comparison with former editions. Priorities and other conditions forced us to simplify wherever we could: therefore, our job was doubly difficult, for to simplify and still attain the standards already set by the REDJACKET was a tremendous undertaking. However, we feel certain that our efforts have been successful, and we hope that you enjoy your classbook —possibly the last one from this school for the duration. Miss Esther Champoux, our faculty adviser. worked with us tirelessly. We are deeply grateful for her helpful advice, guidance, and encouragement. Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter of the art department worked long hours overtime in order to help complete our book before the deadline. The artistic merit of the book is due to her excellent arrangement and flawless workmanship. To the many other members of the faculty who unselfishly rendered their services, and especially to Miss Nellie V. Donovan, our consulting adviser, we offer our sincere appreciation. The board feels certain that the 1943 yearbook is an accurate account of our three years' stay at East Senior High. We know that many of us will soon be in the service of our country. In the better world which we will help to create after the war. we hope that your REDJACKET may recall many pleasant experiences at East High. DONALD SPALDING Business Manager ALICE QUIRKA Art Editor
