Written by Principal D. B. Harrington in the the 1943 Attica Torch.

"As Generalissimo of the Attica High School War Program, I take this opportunity to thank all the Captains, Lieutenants, and enlisted personnel for the fine contribution each and every one of you made in this worthy effort. It was a job well done.

This year there have been eight main divisions of the High School Victory Corps. These are: Sale of Stamps and Bonds, Scrap Drive, Block System of Mobilization, Aviation Class, Victory Gardens, Pre-Induction Class, Victory Board Committee, Commando Training.

During the school year over $8,000 worth of stamps and bonds have been sold by an energetic committee headed by Mr. Lowell B. Fox.

In the scrap drive twenty tons of scrap were collected by a committee consisting of all the village students.

A High School block plan was set up. There is at least one pupil in every village block available to assist the Village Director of Civilian Mobilization and the Ladies Auxiliary War Council.

Twenty boys have taken a year course on the Mechanics of Aviation. Mr. William A. Frank is the instructor of this course.

Under Mr. Lewis Loughlin splendid leadership students have planted victory gardens. Important instruction in "How to Raise a Garden" was given by Mr. Loughlin and Mr. Emmerson Carl during the winter months.

Mr. Frank, Mr. Fox, Mr. Carl, and Miss Luella W. French sponsored a class in Pre-Induction training for young men planning to enter the Armed Services.

Mrs. Charlotte Bell Ranger, Miss Mabel H. McCoord and a group of girls maintained the Victory Display Board, keeping upon it pictured every Attica High School former student now in the Armed Forces. It was magnificently done, ladies.

Mr. George Patte and Miss Elizabeth Skinner really "went to town" with their commando course. Our entire student body profited by this special physical program. 

Our school has one of the few Class A building for use as an Air Raid shelter. Thomas Pasnewski was Chief Air Raid Warden. His organization functioned smoothy during practice Air Raid alarms.

Attica High not only represents a symbol of community patriotism but practices a program designed to get definite results."
