ERVI We are proud of the service of Roslindale in time of war. At home, each of us tried to do his part, Whether he was a teacher or a pupil. As a group the faculty registered 2,591 men for Selective Service, took and gave First Aid and Air Raid Pre- caution courses, and issued 18,800 ration books. As individuals they served as members of the Aircraft Warning Services, members and chairmen of OPA price panels, victory gardeners, directors of War Loan Drives, organizers of community recreation, USO, and Red Cross units, secretaries and workers in war plants and federal bureaus, members of the Coast Guard CTD, and Nurse's Aids, Gray Ladies, and Dietitians in civilian and veterans' hospitals. Many were blood donors. Girls and boys in the school subscribed 827,693.13 in War Bonds and Stamps, and worked as clerks at the local rationing board. Each war year forty-nine per cent of the pupils worked part-time in offices, factories, and stores. Girls made 12,575 surgical dressings, and a group of second-year girls issued by mail 14-1,800 copies of War Book III. Many boys and girls did Red Cross work, served at USO canteens, at Air Raid Warning Centers, and at hospitals. We are proud of all this, but we can find no words to express our admiration and respect for our brothers, our sisters, our cousins, and our friends who, educated as We have been at Roslindale High School, offered their lives in the service of their country.
