The Senior Year Book — 1941 (Claaa Suing Tune: “I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen” We pledge our hearts to Westerly That dear old high school on the hill Where we have strived to work and play And all our wishes to fulfill Where we have tried with utmost care To make you love us, everyone, To make you proud that we were here The place where we’ve had so much fun. And now we’re sadly leaving you But mem’ries always will remain; And though we travel far away. Our love for you will never wane. And years from now when we return To see our Alma Mater here, We hope that you will recognize The faces that were once so dear— The students who have always tried To bring high glory to your door To make our teachers duly proud And lead our high school to the fore. Now once again we say goodbye With hope that you will not forget The loving class of ’41 And that our sun will never set. -4. 5 h —HOPE SMITH.

The Senior Year Book — 1941 ftrmfrttt’a AiiiircHB Parents, teachers, townspeople, and fellow classmates of Westerly High School: the Class of 1941 welcomes you to this, our last evening of entertainment and mirth, as a body. For three all-too-short years, this class has trodden up and down the stairs of this wonderful building, drinking in its abundance of ready knowledge and forming companionships which will be cherished for life. When, later on in the week, each of us receives his certificate which signifies twelve years of patient learning, he will be more regretful than joyful that his schooldays are terminated. All of us have an opportunity to accomplish something worthwhile in the years to come. Some undoubtedly have reservations in institutions of higher learning, others will be obliged to seek governmental or private employment, and still others may enlist in the various military organizations made necessary by our country’s great system of National Defense. The members of this class will march through those auditorium doors on Thursday, out into a strife-torn world, not knowing what the next few months or even days may bring. We have completed one chapter of our book of life and are engrossed in the rising action, eagerly await- ing the climax. Whatever may come, the Class of 1941 will support, together with millions of other true Americans, our share of the burden and sacrifice to the utmost of our ability in order to cause the downfall of these existing evils. But now for something a little more pleasant! We truly have enjoyed receiving our education in Westerly and are deeply grateful to its citizens for providing the buildings, equipment, and facilities which go to make studying not only interesting but entertaining. We also wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the townspeople and underclassmen for their genuine cooperation in supporting our activities, including the sell-out Senior Play, “You Can’t Take It With You,” athletics, prize-speaking, and the concert. Any successes attained by us will be in no small part due to our patient and understanding faculty who have inspired us to greater heights, and to whom we take this opportunity of extending our earnest thanks and praise. Do you wish to hear more concerning the accomplishments of our class and become better acquainted with it? Then let us immediately proceed with the collected data. NORMAND ANDREWS, Class 1941.
