I l SALUTATORY BETTY GENE MORIARTY, Second Honor Student Parents, teachers, and friends: It is as a representative of the class of 1942 that I salute you on this memorable occasion and welcome you ,to our annual class night. We wish to express to you our sincere gratitude for the aid which you so willingly and unstintingly gave, enabling us to be members of the present graduating class. To our teachers, parents, and friends we owe a debt which can only be repaid when we have attained something of which we and they can be proud. We shall strive toward this as we leave the building which has been our foster home for three full happy years. Our intellectual, physical, and moral welfare has been in your hands for most of our lives, and only we can prove that your sacrifices and efforts have not been wasted. We are graduating in extremely unsettled times. We must all devote our efforts to a great and imperative cause. Democracy is being threatened, and in the youth of a nation lies that nations survival or defeat. Those of us who can, will seek glory on the battlefield. Those of us who are not so fortunate will take a less prominent place but all will be working toward a common goal-the preservation of our government. In conclusion may I again bid you welcome. .VALEDICTGRY TOMMY BREHM, First H onor Student We live in a tragic era. Our nation is throwing all of its manpower and materials into a great conflict to preserve our way of life. Never in the history of our nation has there been such a demand for alert minds and healthy bodies. We know of these de- mands and are going forthlto meet them. We are not pessimistic, but neither are we optimistic, we are not under-confident, but neither are we overfconiident. We realize that we face many hardships and many dangers, but we remember that He who endured the greatest hardships eventually rose to the greatest heights. We are not, moreover, ,going forth unfortified. You, the members of this commune ity, who have provided us with this excellent school system and you, our teachers, who have guided and directed us have more than prepared us for the future task which lies ahead. We realize this andl are deeply grateful. We, therefore, say farewell to our high school life and enter this warftorn world, pledging our lives to our God and to our country.

CLASS HISTORY MARY JEANNE WALTERS, Third Honor Student just twelve short years ago, we the class of 1942 began our school career. The first stage of our learning-grade school-passed quickly. We took part in the usual BofPeep, Jack and Jill, and Pinocchio plays. We were our mothers' and fathers' pride and joy. Then came the second stage-junior high school. As we entered into the seventh grade we found new friends, new teachers, and new subjects. For the most of us, we liked school. It seemed that each new year brought something more interesting than the previous one. Before we knew it we were freshmen. This was a big year in our lives for it was necessary to choose our courses. Our class grew in size for we were joined by rural and parochial students. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers to represent us. Pres., Tom Brehmg V. Pres., Fred Davis, Sec'y., Roy Kelchg and Treas., Ray Lohr. The year was climaxed by the Freshman Dance, which was the first to be held in the school building. We were ready for the third stage of learning-senior high school. Now we were sophomores! As one of our teachers once said, When you become sophomores you think you know all there is to know. But as seniors we find we have only begun to learn. We elected as officers Pres., Tom Brehmg V. Pres., Margaret Ann Thomas, Sec'y., Virginia Butterfield, and Treas., Helen Haas. We attended the Presidents Ball and the basketball and football dances. It was a gala occasion when we held our Sophomore Banquet and later attended the Junior' Senior Prom. As juniors we were faced with a new and busier year. To head our class we selected as Pres., Fred Davis, V. Pres., Virginia Butterfield, Sec'y., Eileen Rutherford, and Treas., Roy Kelch. We worked hard to earn money for the JuniorfSenior Prom. We sponsored a picture show, a sweater hop, and a turkey raffle. We also sold candy at noons and at the basketball tournaments. We were rewarded for our work by the enjoyable banquet and prom which were held on May 8. Our high school education is rapidly coming to a close for now we are seniors. For the last time we elected as officers Pres., Paul Stivisong V. Pres., Dick Browng Sec'y., Ray Lohrg and Treas., Tracy Conrad. It has been a year Hlled with many activities and coming to a memorable close by our being guests at the JuniorfSenior Prom. We hope that the knowledge and wisdom we have gained will help us continue to be our mothers' and fathers' pride and joy.
