The school program has been geared To The moTTo, Classes FirsT, since everyone was deTiniTely aware oT The handicap oT a shorTened currenT year. Because oT The inTanTile paralysis epidemic, classes did noT begin unTil OcTober TiTTh. A TurTher loss of six days during The TirsT Term was The direcT resulT of The severe winTer sTorms, and February TiTTh was declared a Tuel holi- day. ConseguenTIy classes were longer, sTudy more inTense and concenTraTed, and The work accomplished day by day was all imporTanT. Indeed, boTh TaculTy and sTudenTs were noT sorry To see The semesTer end. To compensaTe Tor The loss oT Time during The TirsT Term, The EasTer vacaTion was curTailed by Three days. School closed on Wednesday, March 28, and reopened on Wednesday, April 4. Looking forward To posT-graduaTion acTiviTies de- manded by warTime needs, The seniors were enrolled in such courses as nuTriTion, home nursing, radio, and TirsT aid. WiTh The reporTs oT The deaTh on various baTTleTields of many oT our Tormer Fosdick-lv1asTen Park sTudenTs and Triends, has come This year a deep and sincere deTerminaTion ThaT The presenT classes, who are The builders of Tomorrow, will prove To The world ThaT These dead shall noT have died in vain.
