Zkere Jre Many Zkings... . . . that we would like to set down within the pages of this book , things of great pith and moment , meaningful things that have enriched our formative years here to an immeasureable degree. For indeed , four years to¬ gether in the halls of The English High School are , in microcosm , as our oncoming years , filled with re¬ liefs and shadows , progressions and retrogressions; these years were inter¬ laced with the golden thread of democratic processes , proper con¬ cept in the dignity of man , mutual respect , the fundamental equal¬ ity of all. We would fain linger here yet awhile. But we have a rendezvous with Destiny. And we won t forget; the inexorable march of time controls. So in word and picture shall we keep the memory of our days here forever green. We unfold the scenes as they pertain to Faculty , Seniors , Activities , Athletics, Military , and Business Friends.

So with newer reponsibilities and a reduced per¬ sonnel, the remnant faculty faced the challenge. And magnificently did they meet it in the very best tradition of a distinguished heritage. Under Head Master Downey the school was geared to the war effort, and with scarcely a perceptible ripple the stream of learning flowed on.
