VVAR BRINGS MANY CHANGES TO M. H. S. There is probably no corner of the world that has not been affected by World War II in one way or another and our Alma Mater has proved no exception. In order to keep abreast with the times, new courses have been added to our curriculum. Aeronautics was the first one of this group to be followed later by Aviation Math. frequired of all Sr. boysJ and courses including Radio and Morse Code. Each Thursday afternoon rhythmic marching may be heard from the gym floor as many of our junior and senior boys, learning not only how to march properly but also the art of handling a gun, carry out the snappy commands of an R. O. T. C. officer from Pitt. Such training is bound to be of help in War or peace! At the beginning of the second semester our first Senior, Bob Bennett, left us to join the Navyg a few days later Helen Burke left her Senior class to begin nurses training. Later in the semester Frank Munson, Ken Bauer, Joe Petti, and john Cunic enlisted. The biggest gap was left in the class in March when thirteen of our members Cpictured abovej left to attend trade school preparing for defense jobs such as welding, drafting, machine shop, sheet metal work, pipe fitting, etc. Undoubtedly, one of the most touching assemblies ever held in our audi' torium occurred on March 4 when we bid goodfbye to our beloved coach, Mr. McCarthy who left us to become a Lieutenant Junior Grade in the Navy. Many of us found ourselves with new schedules and different teachers as a result of this change. All in all this class of '43 has probably seen more changes than any other Senior class could boast of. Many of these have not been too happy, but we are still most thankful to be members of this class in a school which is still unscathed by shells or bombs! Page Sixty-six
