THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 15 IN MEMORIAM In memory of Walter Gorka, a former student of this school, who gave his life fighting valiantly for the principles and ideals upon which our great democracy is founded. 16 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD EDITORIALS Today we are likely to hear a great many Americans complaining about the way the government is doing things. Far tc o many people are complaining about rationing, scrap drives, war bond sales, blood donation and all the other essential sacrifices we are called on to make. Therefore, I wish to show these people why all our sacrifices are essential and what use is being made of them. I ask that they close their eyes a minute and picture a bleak, barren battlefield in the Pacific Islands or in North Africa. On this field there is a battle being waged for freedom, and the men there are doing all they can to hold out. These men are fighting valiantly, but they know theirs is a losing battle, for their ammunition is low and their equipment poor. Why is this condition thus? These complainers know as well as I do. It is be¬ cause of the bonds they didn’t buy. The blood donors that some scotf at are to be congratulated. Theirs is a great and noble task. The plasma which these people contributed is being used right now somewhere on some battle front saving the life of an American soldier. He may be your brother, your son, or your neighbor. The gas we are going without is enabling our bombers to fly over Germany and cripple the nazi industries so that we at home mav have no fear of ever coming under the cruel regime of Adolph Hitler. The scrap we donate is going into the making of battleships so our Navy can clear the seas of the Jap menace. Yes, ail this and much more is being accomplished by the sacrifices cf those here on the home front. Thus, I beseech you who are inclined to complain, to think these things over and start out anew with a fine spirit of self-denial for our great country. It you do this, you may not get any praise or reward, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are bringing us closer to the victory that all America is praying and fighting for. John Conley ’43. The United States At War ini1 , Wh ? n l Vake Island and Pearl Harbor were attacked December 7, UJI, by the Japanese, the United States was plunged ruthlessly into the midst of war—such a war as the world has never experienced before Immediately we were confronted with the problem of insufficient supplies and inadequate troops. The American people promptly “got to¬ gether and worked out ways and means for providing the things needed most. For some time prior to the attack. President Roosevelt had sensed the danger ot on-coming war and had so ordered voung men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five to be drafted into the armed forces As the war progressed, the age limit dropped from twenty-one to eighteen. Thus the problem ot sufficient troops was solved. Our next task was to provide these defenders of our country with the arms and ammunition so urgently needed. This was accomplished by cutting down on gasoline rub¬ ber and other things our boys needed more than we did. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 17 Women began to play an important part in the war effort by offering their services in the Ambulance Corps, joining the WAACs or WAVEs, and taking up first-aid courses. Booklets and articles came out on physical fitness and wed-balanced meals, and the styles of clothing were altered by cutting down on the amount of material used. es, indeed, a great many changes have come over this land of ours in the past year but the one thing that will never change in America is the determination that we Americans shall stay free. Marian DaMonte 43. Home Home! You mean my home? The little white house set back from the road, with the cozy atmosphere of simplicity, the smell of cookies from the old wood stove. Here with the dotted Swiss curtains and the carpeted floors; here democracy is symbolized. Home! The place where every American man, woman and child will find his first duty—a duty for which he is responsible—to conserve every resource,to end extravagance and the wasting of all necessities. Home! You mean the cabin in the lonely forest, covered with the snow of winter, the fisherman’s simple dwelling, the smart cosmopolitan homes? Yes, they are homes multiplied by forty million people. Home! The rain-battered ranch house, lonely, humble, out of the way, the farmhouse simple and quiet-like but symbolic of every American home and American spirit. Home! Simple is the word, with the gentle sound and heart-warming eflect; for in those four letters, in that one word lies the pattern of life, of liberty itself. Home! Here the child learns its first conception of right and wrong; here ideals and principles are instilled to make a lasting impression on the mind of the youth. Home is the place where all life’s battles are won, where courage is pieced together by the pattern of life. Home is the place, the only place. Eufrasina Colo ’44. WHO MAKE UP THE ARMY? The setting sun cast brilliant rays of oranjre and crimson across the evening skv. In a distant meadow the srentle lowing of the cattle ' an be heard amid the sound of small feet stubbornly kicking the turf. Coming in sight of the red barn, Johnny Williams heaves a sigh of relief, for he knows that the day’s work is done. Perching himself on a milker’s stool, the small boy clad in worn overalls rests his weary body. Sitting there alone gives Johnny time to think—to think of hew things had been before December 7, 1941-—before his big brother, Jim, had taken his mother’s hands and had said in a stern voice: “Please don’t say ‘no,’ mother; there’s a job to be done and I am the one they need.” Mrs. Williams had wept, but she knew that her son was brave and meant every word he had said. . , , es ft was all so very clearly impressed upon the boy’s mind— Jims leaving, the terrible months of anxiety which ensued, the black 18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD newspaper headlines—everything. Choking back a thick sob in his throat (for he is a man of fourteen, and men do not cry) Johnny set out for the farmhouse. Meanwhile in the city of Greenfield, not far from Johnny’s home town, Morton Chester, a manufacturer, and his wife are preparing to leave for dinner at a friend’s house. Mr. Chester is having great difficulty in adjusting his tie; however, that is not what is occupying his mind now’. Morton J. Chester, the man who is the industrial leader of the fairly thriv¬ ing city of Greenfield, is thinking of his son, Gerald, whom he had given every possible opportunity. Gerald had gone to the very best of schools and had made a success of himself. Then arrived that fatal day w r hen Pearl Harbor was mercilessly attacked. Gerald had gone to his father and said: “You must let me go! My country needs me!’’ “But,” Mr. Chester had argued, “think of your future, my boy. Let someone else go; you needn’t fight.” “I am thinking of my future. That’s why I must go. Anything w’orth keeping is w’orth fighting for!” “Anything w’orth keeping is worth fighting for!” How’ those words ring in the ears of Morton Chester as he stares at a picture of a handsome lad in an army uniform. How proud and defiant the smile on the boy’s face. Giving his coat a final tug, Mr. Chester joins his wife who is impatiently aw’aiting him. While yet in another section of Greenfield, on Maple street, not far from the Chester Munitions Plant, Tony Sloski trudges his weary w r ay home. Certainly he is tired, but glad, too.—glad to know that all day he had been busy turning out the weapons his boy Michael (Lord but he’s mighty proud of him!) needs in finishing a certain big job—the biggest job w ' hich can be assigned to any man! Nearing his home, Tony cannot help but think of the time when he had been a young man and had come to America — America! What a pleasant sound that word has! To Tony it means everything—a secure home, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to live as every man should ! Here he had reared a fine family and had educated his chil¬ dren to believe and trust in a democratic doctrine. Yes, Tony can laugh! He can laugh because his heart w’ants him to! When war had struck, Tony had given his most priceless possession, his son, to the country he loved so dearly and to which he owed so much. His heart pounding heavily with emotion and thoughts he cannot express because he know ' s not the right words, Tony opens the door and enters into the warmth of his home. Thus these three boys and thousands of others like them, have all taken their places behind the gun. Jim Williams, Gerald Chester, and Michael Sloski—each with a different background, each forsaking all else in order that everything that spells America may be continued unshadowed by a dictatorial sw’crd. Yes, anything w’orth keeping most c ertainly is worth fighting for. Evelyn Paganelli, ’45. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 Chief Characteristics Of The Class Of 1943 DORIS BARBIERI. JOSEPHINE CANEVARO.

Robert Ludwin was chosen for the Class Editor. The Senior Class has been unusually small this year. Although in September there were thirty-three seniors registered, at the pres¬ ent there are only twenty-seven members. The war and other causes this year have brought about this decrease in the enrollment. Robert Ginoc- chio and George Libby have both entered the service and thus will not be able to attend the Commencement exercises. During the school year socials were held by the Senior Class which proved to be both social and financial successes. On May 6. the Senior Class presented three one-act comedies, to¬ gether with musical novelties. It was well accepted by the audience and proved to be not only a financial success, but also a welcome change from the usual three-act comedy. The Seniors presented the Armistice Day assembly program in the school auditorium last November. On May 31, the Seniors left for New York City, where they spent three days visiting many places of interest. After returning from New York they became busy with exams. Following the exams they ended a successful year with the Class Night Program on June 11, and the Commencement exercises on June 18.

Sponsored by the Junior Class, the annual prom was given on June 4 with music furnished by Eddie Abrahamsen ' s orchestra.

Freshman Class Notes In September the Freshman Class entered with an enrollment of fifty-six members. During the course of the year five of the members left school. In March we gained another new member. Thus, the class now has fifty-two pupils. A Thanksgiving Day program, explaining the meaning of Thanks¬ giving Day now and Thanksgiving Day of long ago, was given by the Freshman class under the direction of Miss Preli. The class elected as its representative to the Athletic Council, Donald Dowd. They also elected as class reporter for the “Herald” Frances Wolnick. Frances Wolnick, ’46. 22 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD School News In early September, 1942, a total of 171 pupils enrolled in the Wind¬ sor Locks High School for another prosperous year of school work. The registration by classes is as follows: 31 Seniors; 34 Juniors; 53 Sophomores and 53 Freshmen. The Latin Club under the supervision of Miss Burke, has continued to add to school activities, its successful program this year. The officers of the club for the past year were: President, John Conley; Secretary, Lorraine Ginocchio; Treasurer, Margaret Antonacci. During the year, reg¬ ular meetings were conducted and parties for entertainment were given. This year the Scribblers’ Club, under the supervision of Miss Smith, has enrolled eighteen members. The object this year was to correspond with the boys in service. Christmas gifts were sent to all former mem¬ bers in the service and many interesting letters were received from camps all over the United States. The officers of this club are: President, Marian Schianca; Vice-President, Marjorie Riggott; Secretary, Doris Barbieri: Treasurer, Lorraine Ginocchio. The Home Economics Club held a Christmas Party for all members. A new course has been added to the schedule this year. It is the Pre-flight Ground Course and is supervised by Miss Ruth Jefferson. A new member of the faculty, Miss Ruth Jefferson, teacher of Science and Mathematics, takes the place of Nelson Parmelee. A course in Spanish has been started for the first time this year in the high school and is being taught by Miss Burke. The selling of War Stamps and Bonds for the war effort has been carried on every Monday morning. All pupils are said to have contributed generously. Along with our regular athletics as basketball and baseball, a season of football was scheduled under the direction of Coach Raymond Magwire. A Program for the dedication of the Service Flag took place on April 29, at the High School Auditorium. Mr. Hamrick was the guest speaker. There are 203 blue stars on the flag and one gold star in hon¬ or of W’alter Gorka, who was the first of the members of the school to lose his life in battle. The Class of ’43 had the honor of presenting three one-act plays and musical review on May 6. The financial situation of the class enabled them to take a three-days’ trip to New York City. The High School has had the opportunity of seeing many news reels sponsored by the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad. Mr. Paul Collier, Supervisor of Secondary Education on the State THE HIGH SCHOOL HEttALD 23 Board of Education, was a guest speaker at one of the Assembly Programs. Gerard Neeful of the Motor Vehicle Department spoke on Safety at another Assembly. Attorney James E. Cannon was the guest speaker for the Armistice Day Program. After reading over our list of school and social activities, you can readily see that the school has been busy and prosperous in spite of the war time situation. Kathleen Holmes, ’43. America America—land of the free and home of the brave, Tossed gently in the rippling breeze, Long may we see our emblem wave Floating o’er a hundred seas. Ark of freedom—abode of light, Land of the strong and founder of right; May it live always thro’ danger and wrong, May we worship in words—if we wish—or song. Murmuring streams and twittering birds, Sweet sounds undimmed by cannon heard— Sunshine and laughter—wx rk and play, This is America, w-e ail say. Land of right—nation of ours, Filled with great buildings and many high towers, Just as w T as promised to ancients of yore, Comes a land that gives freedom forevermore. Eleanor Gardner, 45. 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Athletics Let us review the achievements in the field of sports during the past year. Under the supervision of Coach Magwire the teams have pro¬ gressed in fine fashion. All of the competitive teams in the High School have put up as fine a showing in sportsmanship and teamwork as can be found anywhere and we firmly believe that next year will be even a more successful year than this one has been. To our former athletic schedule there have been added Football and a vigorous training in Commando tactics. PHYSICAL TRAINING Physical Education plays an important part in the life of every pupil. It consists of drill, calisthenics, self-defense, and the most im¬ portant of all, teamwork. To our Physical Education Course has been added a new program in Commando tactics. It would be well to mention a few items in the pro¬ gram such as running a quarter-mile in less than 62 seconds, high jump of 16 feet, climbing an 18 foot rope without use of the feet, picking up and carrying own weight 100 yards in under 30 seconds. This is the kind of training that your boy is getting in the Physical Education department to prepare him for his future. FOOTBALL This year Coach Magwire introduced football which was received very enthusiastically by the students. Although, the team won one game out of three, they put up a very fine showing. The team consisted of the following players: SENIORS—Captain Danny Price, G. Libby. JUNIORS— R. Asselin, R. Dowd, A. Holmes. SOPHOMORES—R. Colli, J. Fitzpatrick. F. Gragnolati C. Marinone, hi. Sabotka, C. Wezowicz. FRESHMEN—E. Dombrowski, D. Dowd, D. Griffin, J. Schianca, R. Wezowicz. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Suflfield Academy (2nd team) There Won Westfield There Lost Westfield BASKETBALL Here Lost This season our basketball team displayed a distinct improvement over last year. We won better than 50 per cent of the games and were selected to play in the state tournaments.

We want to express our appreciation for your kindness, patience, and loyalty throughout our school years. In these troubled times, we realize that there is a difficult task confronting us, but we also know that with your cooperation, we cannot fail. We, the youth of America, must and will march hand in hand with our soldiers along the road to Victory. Today, in this war-torn, darkened world, our men are fighting val¬ iantly at the front, on the high seas, and in the troubled sky. They are fighting our common enemies who have only one intention—to destroy mankind and conquer the world. At the present, our men are in vigorous combat on far-flung battlefields and have successfully driven the once in¬ vincible foe from Africa: and in the Pacific our men are now on the defensive. Yes, these men are fighting to preserve our greatest heri¬ tage, a symbol that will shine over our country forever—Our Freedom. Do we, the American i eople, know what freedom really is? Did we ever consider the fact that our freedom might be threatened? To most of us freedom is something that is just taken for granted, but if you ever have had the opportunity to talk to one of those fortunate people who have successfully escaped from territory that is occupied by our enemies, they would explain the true meaning of freedom. Faith and courage are all that we can offer to those conquered coun¬ tries which are now feeling the wrath of our enemies, where disobedience is answered with a firing squad, a concentration camp, or other cruel de¬ vices. To these unhappy conquered people, freedom is where children can play in peace, and not be harmed by sudden destructive bombs from the sky. Freedom is where families can once again be happily united. Free¬ dom is where people, regardless of race, creed, or color, can gather together and worship as they please, and where no dictator can destroy this prin¬ ciple of liberty. Freedom is where people can listen to any radio program that they may wish without the fear of being spied upon and turned over to the Gestapo. In other words, we in America should be proud of the fact that we still have freedom of speech, of the press, of religion, and of assembly. Today, a World War is being fought to see if freedom instead of slavery is to exist. Every man, woman and child must do his part during this crisis, whether it be buying defense bonds, working in defense indus¬ tries, or being a soldier of his country. Therefore, let us all do all we can for the American boys fighting for the United States, because we are not only helping America in preparing for the greatest struggle in history, but THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 27 also we are uniting the people for the purpose of preserving the free¬ doms we cherish so much. Let all of us pray to the God above that the flag of freedom, stal¬ wart, loyal, and true, will some day in the near future wave throughout the world. Catherine Giannuzzi, ’43. THE FOUR FREEDOMS One hundred and sixty-seven years ago, we, as a nation, through the words of that great statesman, Thomas Jefferson, asserted that all men were created equal, entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap¬ piness. Those were big assertions, but our will and desire as a nation have been to live up to them for the purpose of securing peace, not violence, that we might thrive and prosper. It is the dignity of every individual at the present to live in a society of free men where there exists a definite guarantee of freedom of speech, freedom of worship, free¬ dom from want, and freedom from fear. Today in the Atlantic Charter this is the way we express the four freedoms. Freedom of speech is the expression of thought and will. Therefore freedom of speech means freedom of the people. If they are prevented from expressing their will in speech, they are enchained in an absolute monarchy, governed by a dictator. In America, the people create their own government, making it what they know is right, allowing anybody to stand up and make attacks on it and say what he thinks. This freedom is the freedom which aids in the establishment of a true democracy. When we have the freedom to think and discuss things without fear, when peace and security are assured, when the futures of our children are insured—then we have established and cultivated the early beginning of a democracy. Men came across the sea, not merely to find new soil, but to win freedom for their souls—to think, to speak, and to worship as they wished. This last is the freedom men value most of all; for this they have borne countless persecutions and fought more bravely. They do not demand that others should worship as they do, or even worship at all. It is not held against them, for they understand that faith takes many forms. This is with us already an ancient heritage and because we knew such freedom from birth, we took it for granted and expected it of all mature men. So long as the fruit of our labor is denied us, so long will want manifest itself in a world of slaves. It is only when we have plenty of everything that we begin to understand what freedom means and it is then that we become a growing and creative part of democracy. Since our nation began men and women have come here for free¬ dom—especially freedom from the fear that lies at the heart of every tyrannical exercise of power by one man over another. They came here to find room to breathe and to have a chance to be men. When we speak of freedom from fear, we do not mean freedom from responsibility, freedom from struggle and toil, but freedom from the fear of starving to death, 28 THE HIGH SC HOOL HERALD the fear of being a slave, and the fear of ghastly death for us and af our children because of the greed and power of w’ilful and evil men, and deluded nations. We hope that our children may grow to manhood and womanhood free from fear, that they shall have an equal chance to grow and develop and lead the lives they choose to lead. When we yield our sons and brothers to war it is in the trust that their sacrifice will bring to us and our allies, no inch of alien soil, no selfish monopoly, but oniy the privilege of winning the most precious gifts in life—freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of speech, and freedom of worship. If our sons and brothers accomplish this, if by their suffering they can carry to all mankind the stimulus of an ordered liberty, it will be the greatest achievement in history. To that purpose they are offering their youth and their blood. To that purpose and to them the rest of us, regret¬ ting that we cannot stand beside them, dedicate the remainder of our lives, keeping in mind our motto—“Victory Through Diligence.” Marjorie Riggott, ’43 THE CHALLENGE OF TODAY All the men and women in our fighting forces know what their challenge today is, but do we, who are left at home, really know what our challenge is? We at home must take the place of those in the armed forces as well as fill our regular work. We may not like the idea of being on various programs and committees for which there is little or no pay; we may not like the gas, butter, meat, shoe and all the other rationing programs; we may not like being told to put a certain per cent of our salaries into War Bonds and Stamps each pay day—but do you think for one minute that our few sacrifices begin to compare with those of the men and women at the fighting fronts? They are fighting to keep their land free from want and fear; to keep their way of life, the right way of life, from perishing. With these ideas in mind it will be easier for us to accept our chal¬ lenge. For those in schools today it is simple; stay in school. The more knowledge you obtain the better equipped you will be to do your part in the future. To you older folks, it is your job to carry on the work started by those who are absent. Ycu also have to keep the younger boys and girls from taking harsh and unwise steps. Teach them and guide them, for they are willing and eager to learn the democratic way of life. In our own hearts we can see our personal challenge of today clear¬ ly outlined. We know we are going to accept this challenge because we sincerely want to do all in our power to make this country and the whole world a better and happier place in which to dwell in future years. We must, however, beware of the danger of too much regulation. Free enterprise is what has made America grow. Those boys who come marching back to us in a few months or years from now want to find the THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 29 same ideals and principles as have always been American—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to assemble and freedom of the press. Let it be our responsibility, our sacred trust, to keep those ideals alive. Let us honor those war heroes, not for a few weeks but forever by helping them adopt themselves to the work of the nation; make them feel they are needed at home just as much as they were on the battle front. Let us try in every way to avoid the great wave of unemployment which followed the First World War by planning now to open up enough peacetime industries to absorb the great numbers who will be returning to civilian life. It is a great responsibility, but we Americans can do it. Audrey Cummings, ’43. VALEDICTORY THE TASK OF TOMORROW America is now engaged in a total war against all the evils and vices of na .ism, facism and Japanese Imperialism. Each and every American is doing his share both at the frcnt and in the produf tion field to bring us closer to our inexitable goal; international peace. The aim of the United States is to right wrongs and make the world safe for democracy. At tile present time this is our only ambition, but the big question for the future is how shall we keep these conquered people in place. What are ne fighting to create? What will be our method of reconstruction? Some propose a league of nations, while others say we should police the world; in fact, there are many different opinions on this point. I believe we should stamp out militarism, but I also believe that no matter how great a plan may be conceived by our statesmen there is but one means of establishing permanent international peace and concord. This way was recently stated very clearly by the world-famed author and economist, Stephen Leacock, who said “To every child we must give the chance to live, to learn, and to love.” In my opinion the solution to our problem is found in these few words. When the victory is won, older people of the suppressed nations will be so steeped in false ideals, that it will be some time before we can make them see the truth. It is the chidren of these conquered people who must be taught which ideals are for their betterment. It must be instilled into their minds from infancy and they must become well-versed in the benefits of democracy. America must provide a good home, food, and comfort for them. If those children have these things, they will not want to r -bel and peace will rein. Hatred has flourished in the poverty and vermin of the slums. All ihrough history poverty has been the cause ot revolution and war. The rich have dominated and the masses have revolted. If we allow this con¬ dition to take piace. we can never succeed, no matter how irreat a plan is conceived by our statesmen. It will be like building a marble palace on a foundation of timber, for soon the foundation will deteriorate and the whole superstructure will crumble. 30 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Also a new educational syste m must be set up. Languages, math¬ ematics, history, and sciences must be taught for the sake of true educa¬ tion, and not to extol the doctrines of some dictator. A well-informed, well-educated country in which every person has the right to decide af¬ fairs for himself can never come under the rule of a leader with such radical ideas as Adolph Hitler. Because many people in Germany were uneducated, he was able to win them over by flowery words and pompous speeches. We must never allow this to happen again. Finally, we must teach these people to know the worthwhile things of life. They must be made to love freedom, appreciate education, and above all love God and His doctrine of Christianity. Japan is really a pagan country. Before we can reconcile them to American ways a great deal of missionary work must be done. Their pagan idols must be oblit¬ erated and God must be given his rightful place. A Christian world is a peaceful world. As long as men believe in God and Christianity, justice and truth will conquer all. This is America’s task. Every single person should be willing to make personal sacrifices so that our hopes and our dreams will be accom¬ plished. We must keep working, keep fighting,keep praying for America. America must win the peace and America must keep the peace. Classmates, realize your responsibilities as we graduate into a war- torn world. Shoulder your part of the burden and work diligently for our great nation. If we all have this fine spirit, America is bound to succeed. And now Classmates, we have ccme to the parting of the ways, and so I must bid farewell, and may Almighty God look down upon you and shower you with success in all your undertakings and happiness all through life. John Conley, ’43. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 ( LASS SONGS Tune: “As Time Goes By” We’re gathered here to tell You all a sad farewell. Dear friends and pals so true, We’re going to miss our old school days, As time goes by. We all must say goodbye And keep our chins held high, Because we’ve had such fun We’ll all remember our school days, As time goes by. Farewell to studies, books, and class affairs; Farewell to school days, worries, and cares; Farewell to teachers Who guided us through, Our dear old school days. And now we’ll say goodbye, And breathe a little sigh. And hope we’ll meet again, And wish good luck to our dear old friends. As time goes by. Genevieve Ginocchio, ’43. Tune: “There Are Such Things” Dear Classmates true, We’re here tonight To bid adieu And take our flight, We’ve had our fun in our school days, But now it’s o’er And we’ve a job to do to even the score.
