It will be the thoughts of a school pal who used to sit next to us in Physics, the fellow who knew all the answers in Social Science, or of the girl who unmeaningly slammed her typewriter causing ours to jump, that will enter our reminiscing mind when we look back on our years at Gratz. At Gratz, we leamed the meaning of cooperation. worked and planned together, spent mirthful hours of ioy together. and each and every one, as though united in action and thought, felt the pangs of fright during a test and the feeling of relief after it was all over. Something affecting one member of the class inevitably affected all. Perhaps to this companionship and unity is due the success we have attained in clubs. dances, war drives, and the . many other activities in which we partici- pated. Our memorable experiences at Gratz have become lasting memories be- cause of our associations with our fellow members of the class of 34-'45. 20
