JUe tf-OCMMM Embarking forth into this complicated world, we, the Class of 1942, realize we have a hard road before us. But as we travel onward we will carry with us the knowledge we have gained these last four years. We shall always remember the teachers who have worked so hard to give us this knowledge and experience which will help us to make a place in the world for our- selves. In the future our nation will need lead- ers, more so than ever before. Up to now we have had helpful guidance, but soon we shall have to make more of our own deci- sions. You, the faculty of Nappanee High S chool, have done your utmost to make us useful citizens, now it is up to us to prove our worth and make this world a better place in which to live. . A.
