QAny resemblance be- tween this picture and that of the present graduating class is purely coincidentalj However, in this magnificently sedate gang, there appeared to be a serious shortage of girls - a phenomenal condition to exist in 1942 A. D. The answer to that was The Annex --a womens paradise. All these eager students Cand we use that term looselyj, craving for knowledge, pro- ceeded immediately to become model students for all future Rossie-ites to fol- low. XVe groaned and creaked from 10:10 to 10:20 in setting-up drill exercises. These muscle-pullers were meant to make us flexible and strong, but only promoted the sales of liniment to youths under sixteen years of age. XVe suffered with avoir, A Tale of Two Cities, debits and credits, isosceles triangles, and a never-ending parade of homelessons. Some emerged triumphant and embraced the Honor Roll or Merit List, precariously but defiantly. From their high perch, they taunted the failures for whom report-card day is always D- Day. However, while swimming through the merciless barrage of duties, we didn't for- get that there was a war on. How could we? Every time we had an Air Raid Drill the faculty was alarmed at the re- ported injuries to the most honorable chassis of Roslindale High. XVe,ll never forget the nice soft seats that were pro- vided for our maximum comfort, as we sat, side by side, along the corridor floors. Many of the valiant girls who managed to emerge unscathed after an Air Raid Drill joined the Surgical Dressings Unit, page .scfucntecn

Others, realizing the horrors of war fname- ly the Air Raid Drillj raided their piggy banks, and bought so many bonds and stamps that we paid for several jeeps. Dont ever tell us that there is a war on! For the male contingent, mention of their sophomore year will bring one un- pleasant memory. The boys will never forget the agonizing moments they spent, with their mouths watering. listening to the clatter of dishes and happy voices as the girls munched and erunched the deli- cious food. 'Ure only thought which held them from revolt was-ladies firstl And so with their honorable craniums one-third filled with facts and figures, the sophomores of 1943 sallied forth into their junior year. NVQ- greeted Ptoslindale High in Sep- tember as joyous juniors. United this year, many of us having hidden afond farewell to Mother Annex. we advanced to meet the challenges of this our junior year. Our brave front soon crumbled as we saw more gym, two periods of the beloved subject Health Education. and American History loaded on our shoulders. The days were made to stretch on indefi- nitely with the omission of setting-up drill and homeroom periods. The lines of our army were fast crumbling and falling to ruin. Down we went, line after line. A battle, you ask? No, just the Spelling Bee! This yearly instrument of torture was being used to determine the pupil possessing the great- est fortitude to weather the storm. The question of government-subsidized college educations was solved for the nation when our first Junior Town Meet- ing assembled. Arguments waxed fast and furiously with debaters submerged under a deluge of questions. We. as juniors, were proud of our ability, for we produced the winning debater for the school. Not all the hard work and long hours
