“Albie ALBERT WEBSTER “There is something infinitely vast in your tininess.” LILA WEBSTER “Toughie” “You face life as it is and as it changes.” NELLIE WEBSTER “Nell” “She herself was fertile in fancy.” ROBERT WHITE “Whitey” “And you arc quiet like the garden.” DONNA ZACHARIAS “Zach” “She had an aptitude for saying things that no one else would dare to say.” President’s Message Fellow classmates, at last we have reached the goal for which we have been striving since we started in school. We arc now graduating and each and every one of us are going out into the world to try to accomplish some worthwhile things and take our place among the useful citizens of our country. Today our country is involved in a second World War, and it may be quite difficult for us, this class of ’42, to attain the goal for which each one of us has been preparing these last several years. There will be many problems which we will all have to overcome. However, during our years in school we have all had some problems to solve and through the helpful guidance of our teacher we have overcome them, and although our problems to come will be on a larger scale, still, if we but remember their teachings, I am sure we will have no trouble conquering them. Some of us will continue our education by going on to college; others will start now to “tackle” those problems; and still others will be joining our land or sea forces to take their places with many others in helping to defend our country against its aggressors. To the classes coming after us we wish the best of everything and may they all gain as much during their years here as we have. PAUL HARRIS -3 20 )
