Wabash High School - Sycamore Yearbook (Wabash, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1942 volume:

To our alumni who are enlisted on land, in the air, and on the sea ; to those employed behind the scenes in factor- ies — to all who are defending their country with the Spirit of the America they are fighting to preserve we, the class of 1942, dedicate this Sycamore.

Beamer, president ; Dr. George B. Fults, treasurer; Mr. Owen J. Neighbours, superintendent. SECRETARIES MARY LITTLE Superintendent ' s Office BETTY SPROAT Principal ' s Office nncLpa I The school-year 1941-42 ranks high in historic interest. The term opened with our country still at peace but with an added consciousness of increasing preparation for war. December Seventh and Pearl Harbor accelerat- ed every activity at Wabash High School and the patriotic motif at once became the popular and dom- inant theme. Every individual, group, and organization is keeping faith with those who have left the corridors of W. H. S. and are now in the armed forces of the United States. Wherever these men may be, in this country or in remote and far-flung comers of the earth, we send a prayer for their courage, their safety, and their very lives.
