THE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The year 1942-43 has been a memorable one in the annals of Wood lawn. Late in 1941 our country had been attacked and we had been forced into a war of self-preservation. Hundreds of those who once walked these halls have become the Soldiers, the Sailors, the Marines, the Merchant Seamen, the Nurses, the WAACS, the WAVES and the SPARS in the uniform of their country. Other hundreds have entered war industry and war services, and are helping supply and serve those in uniform. Still others arc rendering the invaluable service of maintaining the civilian work which must go in if we arc to be an effective warring nation. All of us have a sense of pride that those who had their training here are among the most patriotic, loyal, and useful Americans in this time of danger and trouble for the nation. During the year we have made our best effort to help our country in every way that school people can. We have worked to continue effective training for you who will now go out to use that training. We have joined in all the programs of service open to schools. Through all this we have turned to our school in deeper appreciation and stronger loyalty because it, along with the other parts of American life, was thought worth defending to the death by boys and men we love. The Class of 1943 has made its full contribution to the year's successes. It has served the country well in sticking to its job. Its members will be the same kind of loyal, faithful, dependable Americans our other graduates have been. They have our love, our confidence, and our prayers for their happiness and their success.
