Boot Camp When we, the class of 30-43, arrived at Simon Gratz High School, we beheld an awe- inspiring sight. The magnificent Gothic edifice certainly imparts this feeling. We are justly proud of its majesty, its picture will remain with us always. The faculty members of our great school have offered much more than the minimum essentials. They have given us friendship and guidance for three very constructive years. Gratz has a personality that will be a vital influence in the lives we are to build. We have real reason to be proud as Gratz has led the country in many diversified fields. lts art work is famous and the dra- matics, which unfortunately have been cur- tailed for the duration, were also note- worthy. ln music, too, we have been lead- ers. The first year of basketball competition we won the coveted trophy and we have had a championship tennis team for several sea- sons. Our Students' Association is built on faith in the rule of the people and is a reaffirma- tion of the democratic process and way of life. Though enrollment has increased from 2800 to 4800, development and achievement have kept pace. Plans have been geared to meet the requirements of a world at war. The Industrial Department has expanded to meet the new demands, while the regular curriculum has been revamped with war electives. Miss McCleary heads the War Council: Dr. Howarth is an inspiration to the Victory Corps. Everyone is giving his time and energy to make this the greatest chapter in Gratz history. The job of winning this war against those who seek to destroy democ- racy is the most tremendous one we have ever faced. Having learned to work together, We who will serve go out as one to meet the challenge! f .I . 'M L. 1 1. A - -1-.rr - kai:-eil. .' -ff.--I-it. ,.:, LLL!!- ir x fn.. -ia-1. ...-- .1
