I 44 ' To THE CLASS OF 1944: The sands of time have about run out in another year at Penn High School. Most members of the class of 1944 were born in the era of plenty before 1929. Your school days were mostly spent during the great depression. In your sophomore year Pearl Harborn made the headlines. Since then we have had war with increasing fury. All normal prospects for our boys have disappeared. Our alumni are to be found in the armed services on every con- tinent. A number of your classmates have ujoined upf, after completing their first semester. Most of the remain- ing boys will be in uniform before snow flies again. Our girls will be doing their part in the war effort. When peace again comes to this country you will look back to your high school days with memories which will grow sweeter as time goes by.
