WL--f E S II! 'FlLL'ER UPf 1 1 iw ONE NATION lNDIVISIBLE.' W STUDENT BOB ULLMEYER TESTS BATTERY IN DEFENSE SHOK Oceanside at Wat. . . The fateful day of December 7, 1941. At noon of the next day, amemorable assembly was held. The President of the United States was heard, telling all who were listening that their country was atwar. As the Presi- dent delivered hisdeeply earnest warmessage, allOcean- side students felt in a vague way that our country was on the verge of difficult and trying times. None of us, however, realized what the exact nature of the de- mands on us would be. Our school soon joined the many other organizations in Oceanside bydoing its part to contribute to the war effort. In the remaining pages ofthis, the 1943 HSpin- driftu, we attempt to show sone of the effects ofthe war on Oceanside High School. STUDENTS ASSUME AIR RAID SAFETY POSITIONS ON FIRST FLOOR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF MR. HENCH.
