i l i 7!w.L' FGREWORD- This has been one of the most difficult years in which to maintain normal scholastic achievements. Wars always bring unrest, sorrow and a feeling of insecurity. ln the face of these difficulties the faculty and stu- dents have put forth their best efforts to uphold the standards and tradi- tions of German Township High School, one of which is this Laureola. We have tried to picture life at German Township High School during this war year where we are endeavoring to prepare our students for war' or peace, hoping however that for most of them it will be the latter. A special tribute is due to the teachers and students who have gone out from this school to take their places on the battle-fronts of the world. When we think of their sacrifices, our own contribution to the war effort fades into insignificance. J, A. GAULT OUR SCI-IOGL -3-

,ree LAUREOLA'S COVER OUR HIGH SCHOOL GOES TO WAR In one of our early staff meetings, after we had decided to have a picture on the cover of our i944 year-book, the ques- tion came up-just what kind ot picture would be best for our cover, Some thought we should select one which would be det- initely l944, such as a picture of one ot our former graduates telling us ot some of his experiences after returning from over seas. Others thought a picture ot our High School would be best. Then came the idea to combine the two, and this seemed to please every member of the Staff. Then came the question of who the soldier should be, as there was hardly a day that passed without some service man or woman visiting us. Some thought he should be a sailor, others said the Marine uniform was tar prettier. We were getting nowhere when it was suggested that we use a picture of the very next service man or woman graduate returning from over seas duty who visited us and consented to talk to us about some of his experiences, The sugges- tion was accepted and that man was Tech. Sgt. Tony Galla, class of l94l. rj
