Queen Anne High During War
September 24th, 2007 @ 12:41 am by Cliffe | Sorted School Days
That School Days category is getting a little lonely, so I want to start a series on Queen Anne High School. I’ll be concentrating on this school as I’ve become very interested in its history, mostly stemming from its architecture originally catching my eye. More on that soon, but first I found this foreword from the 1942 Grizzly Annual and subsequent Principal’s Message from Otto Luther. As World War II raged, the writers of the Grizzly decided to look away from the bloodshed. Find the text below. And click on the images for a larger view.
In this time of war it is especially tempting for annual staffs to select a theme of “Democracy” or “America” for their respective books. Such themes only make one more conscious of the present chaos, and with this in mind the staff of the 1942 Grizzly decided upon a light-hearted and versatile theme — one which could easily be combined with humor.
Thus we ask you to forget the guns, tanks, airplanes, warships, blood, death and grief of the world today while you recall those memorable and happy days of your “School Life.”
