I The moon gleaming on the lake is a dream-enchanting sight- Moonbeams, streaming o'er the flood, gild it radiant and bright. A light gale, that sibilantly whispers through the kneeling trees, Forms figures in the waves, leaping gaily in the breeze, Reflected, too, white clouds of foam that swim on high Resemble giant, wing-free eagles, gliding through the sky. And moon, and wind, and waves, and clouds combine to furnish there Deep peace, serenity supreme, for ev'ry heart a share. -Frances Andalora-l l B 6 There was a fearful crash, a mighty jar, As the streamlined train struck the car. A few seconds later, from out of the wreckage Crawled Mr. and Mrs. Peter McSekage. The lady opened her mouth-she had something to say- But the worm had turned the other way. 'Not a word snapped Mr., for once he was boss, 'I got my end of the car across, 'You were driving the back seat, smart and fine, 'lf you let it get hit, it's no fault of mine. -Fannie Grashin-l IC Page 20

Front Row-M. Onifer, M. Blazoncik, M. Haines, A. Rates, F. Cricchi, T. Howarth. Rear Row-E. Latsko, E. Vance. History of the 43rd Battalion Four hundred forty-five buck privates began their basic training at Redstone High School in September, l939. Brimming with enthusiasm, these yardbirds participated in many school affairs. Bravely, they met the jokes of their higher O. D.'s. At noon hour they could be seen in search of mess halls and canteens, Their leaders were Thomas Reagan, James Dominick, and Barbara Casserly. As corporals of the Sophomore class, these recruits did not shrink from their duties. They participated even more thatyear in various school ac- tivties. Some trained as M. P.'s lHall Patrolmenl. Others volunteered to serve in the library. Serving as technical corporal was Andrew Gussie, as- sisted by Evelyn DeCarlo, Melda Morris, and Edward Hnatt. When these scholastic soldiers earned their stripes as sergeants of the Junior class, they felt more confident. From their ranks came technical sergeants in athletics, forensics, and dramatics. They presented their first class play, America First, for the benefit of the Athletic Field Fund, The cast members were: James Dominick, Helen Fedarko, Gloria Kearns, Larry Grashin, Charlotte Gough, Mike Onifer, Stella Magrosky, Betty Kalinowsky, and Van Cowger. Their sponsor was the late Mr. Thomas Tarka, while their Master Sergeant was Tom Howarth, assisted with his administrative duties by Top Sergeants Merle Eakins, Melda Morris, and Edward Hnatt. Rise and shine, it's daylight in the swamps rang out, as a morning in September, l942, brought back our lieutenants of the Senior class. As commissioned officers, they stopped sewing stripes on their arms and began putting bars on their shoulders. They set the example for the underclass- men by contributing IOOWJ in the United War Fund and initiated a Key Drive to aid in the scrap metal collection. On December l8, l942, they had a highly successful Christmas Party complete with a Santa Claus lWillard Yaugeri. They cooperated in the several daylight air raid drills, setting the example for the underclassmen by marching swiftly and silently to their columns in the corridors. Sky Road, a comedy in tune with the spreading interest in aviation, was chosen for the Senior class play. Emil Latsko, Thom- as Howarth, Ann Rates, and MarieMassimiani served as first lieutenants for this fourth and final year. Page 22
