Page 8 Broom and Mr. Bennett McAllaster. After her New Trier graduation, Miss McBroom went to Marshalltown, Iowa, to teach, where she became a leader in elementary education. She later taught at the University of Iowa- Mr. McAllaster attended the Armour Insti- tute of the Illinois Institute of Technology, and later became the president of the H. Mc- Allaster Printing Company in Chicago. This unusually small class would certainly have been surprised to find that 1945's graduates totaled 642, and that by 1960, it has been estimated that 800 students might comprise one class! In the opinion of Mr. Windoes. the classes of 1942 and 1943 reflected the greatest credit upon New Trier. These stu- dents, he stated, got their high school edu- cation under the clouds of war. Many of the courses were in preparation for active partic- ipation in the world conflict, which, in many cases, resulted in their making the supreme sacrifice. They did not complain, and their courage never waveredf' Commencement ex- ercises are held today in the Gates Gymna- sium, but some of New Trier's first classes travelled north to the Ravinia Pavilion for their graduation programs. Shortly after Pearl Harbor, Tri-Ship or- ganized a Service Register Committee to maintain an accurate record of all alumni and students who entered the military services. During the war, two bulletin boards were faithfully maintained in the front hall, one listing servicemen, and the other, a plaque naming New Trier alumni who gave their lives. In the spring of 1946 this plaque was dedicated in a Memorial Assembly. New Trier's halls have seen many students who have gone on to be very prominent in al- most all fields. A few of these are: Ivan Al- bright, 'l5-painter, considered one of three top American artists: Melvin Albright, '15- twin of Ivan and a noted sculptor and paint- er: Archibald MacLeish, 1905-07-poet, for- mer Librarian of Congress, and now Boyl- ston professor of literature at Harvard Uni- versity: Iock Searle, '18-president of the G.

Martin, '18-chief anthro- pology curator at the Chicago Museum of Natural History and co-author of Indians Before Columbus: Harlan Ware, 'l9-na- tionally known author and playwright: Ralph Bellamy, '21-famed stage and screen actor: Lawrence Perkins, '24-eminent architect and city-planning authority: L.
