Editor’s Note: For this week, we sat down in the living room of Peter J. Decareau’s Burlington home and asked him what it’s like to finally get the high school diploma he sacrificed during World War II so he could serve his country in the U.S. Navy. Decareau, 95, received an honorary diploma from the School Committee last week during a special ceremony at the Roby School Administration Building. As an official member of the Saugus High School Class of 2019, he welcomes the invitation he received to participate in the graduation ceremony set for Friday, May 31.

A SAUGUS HIGH GRADUATE – FINALLY: Ninety-Five-YearOld Saugus native Peter Decareau, in an interview in his Burlington home on Patriots Day, proudly displays the honorary diploma he received last week in a special graduation ceremony in a special ceremony at the Roby School Administration Building. Decareau says he would have graduated in 1943, but decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy instead of finishing his High School Education after World War II. He wears the cap with the tassel that designates him as a member of this year’s Class of 2019. (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler)
