We, the Class of 1943, as students in Penn High School, prepared ourselves for future years when each of us will find our place in the affairs of the world. We not only carried out as best we could the traditions of Penn High but tried to create new ideas and interests. As freshmen, in September, 1939, we were two hundred and eleven strong. With an earnestness for our lessons, we encountered Latin and algebra and added to our knowledge of English and history. High school for us was a new and interesting experience. During our sophomore year, the records listed one hundred and ninety-nine members. We were recog- nized as a part of senior high school and took a greater interest in activities, although we continued to study hard and prepare our lessons well. By the time we were juniors, our tasks were many and well performed. After December the seventh, our one hundred and ninety-three juniors were made to realize that war changes things as we conserved supplies, bought War Stamps, collected books for soldiers, held air raid drills and came to school by War Time. Wirli some of our class deciding to join other ranks and some becoming less interested in education as lucrative war 'obs awaited them outside, our membershi decreased to one hundred and fort b the be- 1 P Y Y inninv of our senior ear. But those of us who remained then knew that our 'ob of learnin and doin 3 D Y J g g had become reater. We studied harder and worked extra hours so that we mi hr do our share in the war g g effort following graduation, AND GOES FORTH ' ' ' Q 5126011 7943
