SENICDR CLASS HISTCDRY The class of '44. lust another graduating class. Although this is not the first class to graduate during this world conflict, it is the first real war class. For several reasons it can be called that. First, its number has been decreased greatly, second, every boy and many girls are planning to go into the United States Service, a number of boys have already been drafted from the classroom. Here is a class that has gone through all the years of school together. They've looked forward to the parties, dances, class-days, and what goes to make up a senior school year in normal times. But, just when these dreams were about to be realized, the call to war took many members of the class. lt also took away many of the things that have always symbolized a senior year. The purpose of the class was turned from one of personal desires and likes, and turned toward one of unified purpose to do its part individually and collectively, to get the war over, and to get the old world straightened out, so that the boys and girls could step into a peaceful and promis- ing future. The class of '44 is really two classes in one. ln lune of '43 twenty members of this class began their senior year, by taking the first half of the work at Tech High in the summer school. This summer session was conducted to enable the boys going to war to obtain their diplomas before leavingg the class gradu- ated at the half-way mark in Ianuary '44. All the boys in the class expect to be drafted im- mediately, some have already gone, some have pass- ed the Army Specialized Test, and may go to college -courtesy Uncle Sam. The other members of the class began their year in September, and graduated at the regular time in May, l944. Two members of the class are foreign born, Leah Rosenberg, in Wyshkow, Poland, and Herman Kap- lan, in Lithuania. X srl , gl' N I4 - f ' ,J 5 SNSE1 X ei T Page Twenty-Two
