GENERAL HEADQUARTERS I am pleased to greet the members of the graduating class of 1942 in this unusual period of our national and community life. The incidents that have given birth to the slogan “Remember Pearl Harbor” are not of ordinary import. You are the first class to leave our high school in World war number two. Your lives will be conditioned by the fact that we are participants in a conflict not of our making—a conflict waged to preserve the freedom our forefathers gained only after a long struggle. If your formal schooling has been effective, it has made you appreciative of all this, and consequently you should be strongly motivated to do your part in the cause. Indications are that most of the boys will engage in some kind of war activity—not a few in actual com- bat. It is possible, too, that girls will be required to perform services essential to winning the war. I am confident that, in whatever way you serve, each one will give a good account of himself. When the time comes to arrange the affairs of men, I am sure you will do your part in bringing about a permanent peace. Finally, wherever you are and whatever you do, in war and in peace, I wish for you a successful and worth- while future. Irvin H. Schmitt, Superintendent of Schools. Above: Mr. Irvin H.

Sincerest congratulations to each 1942 graduate. For the time used and the efforts put forth, you are entitled to praise and recognition. On the other hand, those who have provided these opportunities for you are deserving much as a reward for their sacrifices in your behalf. What do you owe to your benefactors as a recompense and to your posterity as a heri- tage? The answer will be made by each of you in the way you will use the training you have received in bringing about a successful and happy life for yourself and in making a true contribution to the welfare of your home, your community, your country and to the world. This will mean a contribution to the building of a society that is built on the rock of respect for human personalities. May you be successful in every worthy ambition. Sincerely, A. I. Naumann, Principal. Above: Mr. A. I. Naumann, principal. Left: Mrs. Norma Pont, secretary. Below: MU Ruth Bargmann and MU Viola Volken . left to right, helping a group of student in the office.
