OM: YEA It - 1943 DOMINATED BY BOOKS AND THE LEARNING THEY SYMBOLIZE, OUR YEAR AT WHITING HIGH SCHOOL WAS THE YEAR IN WHICH WORLD EVENTS AND WAR BROUGHT GREAT CHANGES IN CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES. AERONAUTICS, COMMANDO TRAINING AND FIRST AID BECAME CREDIT COURSES ON A PAR WITH THE THREE R'S. OUR GIRLS HAD HOPES OF BECOMING FUTURE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALES WHILE THE BOYS BEGAN TO LOOK SOMEWHAT LIKE SUPERMEN FROM THEIR STRENUOUS COMMANDO TRAINING. AS PART OF OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY, WE COLLECTED SCRAP, RUBBER, AND PAPER WHICH WE TURNED OVER TO THE GOVERNMENT. WAR BONDS AND STAMPS WERE SOLD BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL. THE SALE OF THESE TOPPED THOSE OF 1942 BY FAR. RECORDED IN THIS 32ND REFLECTOR IS THE COMPLETE STORY OF OUR YEAR PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF '43.
