We Honor l In l94l when we were Freshmen, japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States declared war upon the aggressor nations. Although the actual combat seemed far away, awareness of the war was soon thrust upon us. Faculty members left to join the services, our curriculum was subjected to many changes, our time was spent in collecting scrap paper and working in defense plants or on farms as well as in school, our money was put into VVar Bonds and the Red Cross. Altogether too soon the boys of our own class became of an age to enlist. Yes, we complained about the difficulty of obtaining materials and the curtailment of en- tertainment before it became necessary to purchase this memorial plaque. The names placed in it are those of boys we have known: Allan Burrows Frank Brown Louis Caccamise Francis Castle Howard Covell john Darby john Darrow Carl Dutton Frederick Feneran Robert Graney Leonard Ingles Hugh Pickell Kenneth Pinney Gerald Platt jack Reamer Anthony Riggi Earl Rubens Ralph Shepard Samuel Steffenella Robert Thompson Salvatore Vona james VValker Richard Longhany Reid Wloodward Charles O'C'een They too attended the Le Roy Public Schools and experienced joy in a victory over Batavia, groaned about the amount of history homework, worked and played as we do. Events of the world are moving swiftly. On May 8, scarcely a month after the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, we celebrated victory in Europe and turned our full attention upon the Pacific. Today we dedicate this plaque to those men who made our victories possible, and in so doing lost their lives. -Neg 1 0 ji?-D.-
