Sag U GU PAN t f As our high school days draw to a close, we Sen- iors spend more and more time reminiscing over the last four years of our lives. The time has gone so fast that it seems like only last September that we were timid lireshmen who couldn't wait to be in the very position that is now ours. ln .1 way we envy the lireshmen their high school careers which are just beginning. In this last year of ours, time has taken wings. as there have been many things for us to do. A number of Seniors have worked after school, thus helping the war effort and gaining useful knowl- edge for the future, which to us is the biggest question of all. As the majority of Senior boys plan to enter the service in the near future, much valuable time has been devoted to inquiring as to the various opportunities offered to them. Of course, there are many of our classmates who are already serving under the colors. W'hile these fellows cannot actually be here with us, we think of them constantly as we are very proud of them, our young men who are serving us. There are many girls who would like to enter the service, also, but until they are old enough, they will have to be content with helping the war effort on the home front, mainly by working in ollices, in industry, or in pursuing the nursing profes- sion. All the opportunities that are ofliered to the girls of our graduating class are too numerous to mention here. ir ir -k coMmNY OITIIICIZRS SYI,VIIS'I'IiR l..'XCiU'l'il'.'X President RlCl'lARD -IOHNSON Vice Presitlenl ROSIC lll.ONUl K Secretary ,IAM l-'S DV R MODY Treasurer .vw Q5-U

The course of study for juniors is one that can be made very different because of the pre-induction courses offered to Junior boys and girls interested. These courses include machines, shop, and electricity. Some Junior boys are permitted to take aeronauties, but, as a rule, this subject is put off until the Senior year. Although many pre-induction eourses are offered, the regular academic and commercial subjects were by no means neglected. Third year English and U. S. History are two requirements of every junior. The more daring students venture into physics and intermediate algebra, while the commercial students have many opportunities to continue their search for skill and prohciency in pursuing stenography, or continuing bookkeeping and typing. Two half-year subjects which are offered the juniors are economics and commercial law. The study and analysis of languages are also continued by interested Juniors. Because of the variety of subject matter, the most difhcult task that faces the Juniors is deciding which of the many subjects will help them most in future years. Toward the end of the year, things slow down and the Juniors are able to devote more time to thinking about the future. In June the possibilities of summer jobs are considered rather seriously by all. Perhaps we are closer to rhe juniors than to any other group in school, as they are our immediate followers. Therefore, it is the sincere wish of the Senior class that our junior pals will make us proud of them by doing great things during their last year at our Alma Mater. ?Mr .

Some students who plan to continue their education as a means of preparing for the future find their time occu- pied trying to determine which college will best suit their needs. As this year has offered ideal opportunities for investigating the mysteries of the future, we have tried to talte advantage of them. ln case we wish to recall our struggles through our courses, this is an appropriate place to record our trials, tribula- tions, and moments of elation, some of which are pictured on this page. linglish IV made us appreciate our own American literature, while Problems of American Democ- racy offered many opportunities for heated arguments. The commercial students will never forget the thrilling race with time to complete their jobs , while those who had the privilege of enjoying chemistry will never forget tht- new and interesting discoveries that every meeting brought. There were those who dared fand were about to die?j to tackle trigonometry and solid geometry, two good experiences in hard mental work that brought an unexcelled feeling of elation when a problem was well solved. Some girls took an interesting course in child care which will probably prove valuable in the future. All pre-induction courses, including a good foundation in aeronaulics, were also offered. Economics meant lots of studying to avoid staying in, while commercial law was lots of fun. As in the past years, there was also the oppor- tunity to become proficient in the use of foreign tongues. The subjects offered to tts Seniors were the most interesting of all and we tried to appreciate them. We could go on t'ecording every little detail indefinitely, because each detail means so much, but most Seniors need no reminder of these precious moments and of each other. XVe are now leaving the halls of East Rutherford High School and are embarking on a future that we hope will be as happy as our past.
