WEST CHESTER HIGH, TO THEE-- ix 1866-a date never to be forgottenl lt is important to us and to our community because it marks the beginning of our public school system. Through the years this system has improved until it has become esteemed by all the citizens. Education has always been an important factor to- ward making a good citizen, but now more than ever-education is vital-it is the backbone of our nation. S0 MAY WE STRIVE ..... This year we chose as theme for our year book the Alma Mater. We have chosen this because of the devotion we have for our school. This year is the end of our unity to- gether. Never again shall we be recognized as a united group. Already many of our classmates have left the ranks to take their places in the world. Somewhere on a remote pacific Island, or on a ship at sea, or on the battlefront of ltaly are stationed hundreds of former West Chester l-ligh School students. filled with the spirit of enthusiasm and bravery, these young men and women have ventured unafraid into the realms of actual warfare to exhibit their courage in the fight for the preservation of Americas ideal of liberty and peace. LESSONS OF LIFE ...., Yes, we have learned much, much that we shall soon be able to test, much that many of our schoolmates have already tested and found successful. The school has been the definite backbone of our constant strength. The treasured memories we have gathered from our school days will remain with us always.
