STAFF HEADQUARTERS ADMINISTRATION Superintendent of Schools Irvin E. Rose It i$ a privilege to have been associated with the members of the senior class during this critical war year. Earlier and on another occasion, I said to you that the biggest task which young men and women in our high schools faced at the moment was to get ready for the national service which most of you will be called upon to give in a few weeks. Now the mem- bers of this class are going almost immediately to the armed forces, to war production, to civilian war emergency, and to specialized training. Throughout the year I have seen much evidence of this new motive for service to the nation in the work which all of you have done. I should, therefore, like to congratulate you on successful completion of your high school course and I want to offer you my very good wishes. At the same time I know we share together the deep and abiding hope that presently the war will be brought to a successful conclusion and we can all get back to the privilege and task of living together con- structively in a peaceful society. Sincerely, Right: Members of the School Board: seated, left to right, Harry M. Nabstedt. Mrs. Anne Rondleman, Henry H. Jobens. president; J. E. Baumgartner, secretary and business mana- ger; and Webster L. Mason. Standing are Superintendent Rosa, Bert E. Derry, William Blasor, and Robert E. Sass. Mrs. Rendleman retired in March, and Robert Alexander was elected to the board.
