GREETINGS, CLASS OF '42 May you have a year of smooth sailing ahead! Your class will stand out in our memory as one of our foremost rivals. It's been fun being friendly enemies. We will never forget your Indian theme in Rock Rivalry this year. Competition was keen and for a while, a senior victory looked dubious. Remember that realistic brown paint you left adorning the walls of the locker room? Your brightly colored artistic mural of Indians preparing for war caused many a furrow in the brows of our class artists. You have contributed greatly to musical organizations this year. We wonder just what the band and orchestra will be composed of when you, too, graduate. A majority of your members held leading roles in our annual operetta The Gondoliers. Bill Gillies as the Duke of Plaza Toro, Richard Krause as Luis, Dot Maxwell as Tessa, Gertie Eldred as Gianetta, Norman Yeakey and Gerald Farrell as The Gondoliers and Viola Uris as Casilda will never be forgotten. You have added much to every phase of life here at school. Now we give you the steering wheel of the S. S. SENIOR. Hoist the anchor—Full speed ahead for adventure. 31
