OUR VICE PRINCIPAL It is .1 privilege for me to present to my fellow Alumni, the newest .xddition to our ranks, the members of the Class of 19-43. In doing so I have no fear that they will fail to do honor to the traditions of Qur School and to the training they have received. The Class of 1943, like the Class of 1917, joins our ranks in trying times. I am sure that they, like American Youth of the Past, will rise above the Challenge poised by pre- vailing conditions and that Our Country will find in them, needed strength.
