Scope and content
Two hundred and fifty soldiers from the 41st Division graduated on May 8, 1941 from Clover Park High School. Unable to finish high school before their National Guard unit was called up, the young men learned to soldier during the day and completed their high school classes at night. This program would allow them to graduate with their class. (T. Times 5/8/1941, pg. 8)
