3 SENIOR SEQUENC E—C LASS OF 1944 Muriel Mills Dorothy Rlchner Joe Sullivan Norman Swartz Fred Barnes Fred Vavrlcka Twelve of these people are In the armed forces of the United States. We, the Class of '44, are most proud of Fred Barnes, who was wounded In action with the American Infantry in Italy. Through twelve years of work and play we have come to be the glorious Class of '44. We are proud of our scholastic, athletic and social record and hope to be an example for those who follow. Long live the Class of '44! A PORPLB HBART IN THE CLASS OF '4 4 T HE WAR seems very far from us at home in these times, and no one would ever think that it could possibly come into our lives, or the lives of our friends. Yet war came quickly to our former classmate, Fred Barnes, who, in the earlier part of this year, received the Order of The Purple Heart for a wound suffered in action in the service of his country on the battle front in Italy. During the month of February, 1943, Frederick Barnes received a 1-A classification, and was taken into the United States Army through the Goshen Selective Service Board. At that time he was a member of the Class of 1944, and had a part in the many activities of the school. He reported for his Army training, and was sent to Mississippi to an Infantry unit where he spent a few months in intensive drill.In his words, we marched, marched and marched. On his first furlough, however, he came back to Goshen saturated with the South. Soon after his furlough had ended Fred went across to North Africa, whence he went on to Italy and battle. He was wounded in the Battle of Cassino, picked up and sent with other casualties back to a base hospital in Africa. Barnes expects to rest there for some time yet. In a recent letter home he said he would be greatly pleased to hear from the classmates of 1944.
