K I '1 ,J , W 7 S I Principal Ervin R. Fletcher 41 Lu-,,,c,f ' iw -lo-' To you members of the Senior Class of 1944, Port Jervis High School has been beckoning for the past six years. The bells of the school have been ringing to you its message, calling you to your classes, calling you to your many tasks through which your teachers, parents, and friends have been sincerely trying to aid you to develop that fine character and those qualities which will enable you to take your place in life as worthy citizens ofyour community, state, and nation. The hells of the school have called you to tasks which many times you may have felt were distaste- ful, summoning you to tasks which in your heart you felt were neither useful nor interesting. However, you have heard and obeyed as they called you to listen and to learn. All too often, perhaps, they have not called you to discuss the sterner prob' lems of living nor to face the realities of life. All too often, perhaps, they have merely called you to attend school, to be prepared to recite the lessons assigned to you, and to play when classes were over. They have called you no doubt when yo.: wished they were far away, when lessons were not so well prepared, and when the dread of failure loomed large. The bells of Port Jervis High may soon be silent to you, but there are other bells calling which are far more authoritative than any you have ever heard. There is a war to be won, a peace to make, a refadjustment to a life full of great challenges and complexities. You may hear no tinkling sound as these challenges ring out to you for they may call to you alone. Let your consciousness fail to hear them and they will have rung in vain. Will you listen and heed them as they ring? My happy and very pleasant relations with you this past year have strengthened my faith that you will. ERVIN R. FLETCHER, Principal
