“Dedications To Irja Napp, Our Classmate From Far-Away Estonia: Irja’s friendly manner and eagerness to learn symbolize the desire for friendship and the need of education to bring peace to this war-ravaged world. Irja’s family was one of the few to find refuge here in the United States. They had spent five years in Germany, following their flight in 1944 from Communist-occupied Tallin, Estonia, her birthplace. During the war years she lived in Berlin and later in several Displaced Persons Camps in the British Zone. It was in one of these camps at Schleswig she finished grade school (lum laude). Irja caught her first view of the Statue of Liberty from the deck of the U. S. Army Transport “General Howze,” at dawn August 9, 1949. With strong courage and stout resolutions to become a good citizen of this country and of this world, she stepped off the ship. So, to Irja and the many ideals she symbolizes, we, the Class of 1950, are proud to dedicate this Viking Saga!
