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.

Miss Soller and Mr. Hitchings, faculty ad- visers, agreed that much was accomplished dur- ing the first year of its existence. Over one hundred gift boxes were packed by the privates of this military thought camp and sent to European countries at Christmas time to cheer the little folks “over there.” Some twenty different designs were put on 150 menu covers by the art battalion and shipped to the Navy to be used at their Christmas dinner. First aid classes to accommodate nearly 200 students were organized in the spring. Lessons taught to the tune of “Clicking Needles” were taken by both girls and boys to knit a sweater for that soldier friend in camp. The season’s climax was the benefit basketball game given to raise money for the War Relief fund. A total of $602.83 was realized. Enter- tainment included a Davenport vs Sterling var- sity game, faculty vs “B” team game, band con- cert, and Red Cross nurses’ review. Fall council officers were Marian Wuestenfeld, president; Rosemary Malloy, vice-president; Ruth Trainer, secretary-treasurer. Presiding in the spring were Patricia Jansen as president, Katherine Brownlie as vice-president, and Mar- garet Lord as secretary-treasurer. Council mem- bers consisted of one representative from each home room.
