Wasatch Academy

"Every day of the war makes us realize more fully that our nation is facing a long and terrible struggle for survival. We, the youth of America, are being depended upon to do our part, and education is that part."

The effects of the War were felt everywhere in the United States, even at a small private, co-ed boarding school in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

Living in dormitory houses, much more akin to college life than high school, students at Wasatch obviously became very close as the many extensive signatures attest. What are some of the other methods in which the Wasatka yearbook editors state that students can make an impact on the war effort?
