問題詳情:
Members of a high school class of 1943 finally got the party they should have had 70 years ago. Their senior celebration was stopped by World War Ⅱ.
Anthony Pegnataro, the 1943 class monitor of James Hillhouse High School, remembers the attack on Pearl Harbor (珍珠港) like it was yesterday. On December 7, 1941, Pegnataro said, he and his friends were skating when they heard over the radio that America had entered a state of war.
Going to war meant no party any more. Pegnataro’s carefree (無憂無慮的) high school life suddenly came to an end.
“Most of us went right into the service after graduation,” Pegnataro said. “We graduated in June and were in the army in July.”
Of the 1,585 students at James Hillhouse High School, less than 300 are still alive today and many of them never made it back from war.
Pegnataro, who is now 87, decided that along with their 70year class reunion, they would also hold the party they never got to have. About 70 people from around the country came to dance on Sunday.
“It was excellent. Everyone there just had a great time,” Pegnataro said, “Those who came guessed it might be their last one”.
Pegnataro said he_was_on_cloud_nine to bring his wife of 83 years back to the party, and he introduced her to each of his classmates. “Everyone was very excited at the party. Though we had been separated for so many years, the war brought my class closer together,” he said.
“We missed out on the party that we should have had. And the 70th reunion was a very important event in our lives,” Pegnataro said, “We all made it.”
