From: Class of ‘45

Owen High School

Owen, Wisconsin

April 28, 1945

Dear Joe,

We here at Owen High have been thinking a lot about you lately and wonder how you are. Many are the times that we have mentioned your name and reminisced about those happy years when you were our stars in high school.

Now as we sit in the classroom, we look out and see spring approaching, bringing with it the yearly problems of putting out the Clover Leaf. This year, an especially busy one, for we back home are carrying on for you, who are now serving the countries colors instead of the purple and gold.

Of course, you know how anxious we await word from you, so we thought that you also might like to know what we are doing. In the pages which follow, we endeavor to tell you just what is going on back here at Owen High School and we hope you are happy to see our account, so in Appreciation of you grand work while in school and your present sacrifices, we dedicate this edition of the Clover Leaf to you!

Good Luck!

Class of ‘45
