Class Histc'oj 'Way back in September of 1939 a group of hardy, hale recruits entered the training station of Madison Memorial High. After being sworn in at the first assembly (we signed up for four years), we were stationed in Rooms two and three. Imme- diately we endeavored to master the art of maneuvers and steering clear of danger zones, but the hardest thing to accustom ourselves to was discipline from our com- manding officers. Our activities were not limited even though it was our first year. We sent two representatives to the Advisory Board, and six of our Company 43 gained membership in the Scholarship Club. It was a proud day when we cheered for our own company on the athletic fields. Then came three month's furlough. With renewed enthusiasm, we return- ed to our station, but were disappointed to find that some of our company had sought destinies elsewhere. We advanced rapid- ly and were known to be quite sophisticat- ed. We even tried our hand at theatrics. In no time at all we found ourselves in the third year of our training period. Having completed our basic training quite satisfactorily, we engaged in a drive for funds to entertain Company 42 at the an- nual Junior-Senior Prom. It was a gala event held at the Mentor Yacht Club. We found it very refreshing after our routine drills and maneuvers. Following our third and final fur- lough, we were determined to finish with high honors and maintain the splendid rec- ords we had established through the years. It is true that we could now only count forty loyal, patriotic, well-trained individ- uals as many of our original number had either deserted, left for other units, or were just A.W.O.L. But we could still proudly say, Quality if not quantity. In April we presented an appropriate play, The American Way. Finally we reached the place where we had seen others fondly take their last cherished glances and bid farewell to the place that had prepared them for active duty. As a unit we said goodbye to our officers and friends, and as a unit deter- mined that Madison Memorial High should always be proud of Company 43. We also determined that we shall take our places in this unsteady old world and do our best with the training we had received to make it safe for democracies, religion, and free- dom. Although the single unit is being divided, we shall still be united in thought and creed, and shall all gladly take our stands for what is right. Now we bid adieu until we have once again completed our mission and victory is won. V . . 17
