Class Sonq ALMA MATER On a hill ’neath the sky stands our Westerly High Overlooking the town and sea. With her golden crest up above the rest— She’s a symbol of liberty. We can ne’er forget all the friends we have met, All the happiness we’ve found Within your hallowed walls and loved halls; We hail to thee, our alma mater high! To the call of the world we respond— Forth we go to our part in battle’s line. We shall remember and be grateful to the school we love so much. May we be worthy of the grand and glorious school we leave behind; So let us march, march along To the strains of this song. Of praises for Westerly and all for which she stands. We’ll fight for the right to defend liberty. And thou, dear old Westerly, shalt share our victory. THOMAS MAINES, ’42. -4 5 ) —

Tm: Si mor Ykar Book — 1942 President’s Address Parents, Faculty and Fellow Classmates: We, the class of '42, are about to leave our beloved place of learning to go out into a world of civil strife and greediness. It is with profound regret that we are now breaking the bonds that have held us together as fellow classmates for the past twelve years. We have finally forded the large stream of education; we have taken the twelve stepping stones in stride one by one in order to receive a diploma to prove our educational background. Some of us may soon enter a higher institution of learning in order to further our education: some of us will graduate into business or industry and finally some of us will join one of our great armed forces which are now fighting to protect the high standards that form our great democracy and to make the entire world safe for liberty-loving people and for civil rights. In the present emergency, many sacrifices are necessary—sacrifices by each and every person of every age. But, in a true sense, the term sacrifice does not seem fitting for such a setting. I believe that every true American will consider it a privilege to do without many luxuries and even to reduce his use of many necessities in order to comply with such an urgent cause. One of our classmates has already sacrificed much; he has sacrificed his education in order to join Uncle Sam’s navy to clear the seas of the murderous elements now menacing its lanes. But, all life is not on the serious side at Westerly High. We 'students all have had our good times here and some very interesting event takes place every day. The humor of some of our chums in the classroom rings out day after day and will always be remembered. Athletic competition runs high on Westerly’s field of combat, but sportsmanship always prevails. The basketball team of 1941-42 deserves a great tribute for its wonderful playing, and it will go down in Westerly’s history as one of the greatest teams ever to represent our school. The efficiency of our athletic system is proved by the contributions of this school to the forces of Rhode Island State College. Yes, folks, we have led a happy life at Westerly High, and our Alma Mater will always remain in our minds as the background of our entire future. —WALLACE GREIG. 7 ► -
