(L ScduJjL to Owl (BojyA, When we started our high school career as freshmen back in 1941, we did not expect our country to be plunged into a world war; nor did we think that perhaps the boy sitting in front of us in Latin would, in a short time, be donning military garb instead of his usual well-worn sweater, be taking up a rifle instead of school books, and be going off to war. December seventh came with a ' force that stunned our emotions and we were bewildered. Overnight those laughing boys became men as they marched off to battle. We here at home resolved to make the most of our high school years, but something wasn't as it should be—something didn't coincide with our childhood plans for our wonderful four years in W. H. S. We knew it was because you were gone. We miss your hearty laugh in the halls, the antics you pulled off in study, your super-duper air-plane-zeppelin designs drawn when you were supposed to be conjugating verbs and which the government can never patent. We miss you, every single one, at games, at dances, and in class. We miss your voices, confident intelligent, answering the questions of our teachers. We remember the way you looked, unafraid towards the future and went ahead and did it. You're out there for us and for generations yet to come, fighting, dying, so that the hearts of high school students everywhere may forever be young and gay.

lx). 2(. S-, Owl OlmjcL TYlcdsA. 'i Hundreds of students, eager for the knowledge Whiting High is to impart to them, pass into the stately red brick building on Oliver Street each year. Her halls have echoed endlessly to young voices, earnest and confident; her floors have felt the hurry of countless eager feet. With the wisdom of the old, she is accustomed to the ways of dynamic youth, and her teachers prepare us to accept our new positions in life when we leave her. We shall never forget this building with its big shining windows and the happy part it has played in our lives. We go forth to meet whatever future awaits us with a firm foundation of practical knowledge. s
