Perhaps many of you will be called upon To serve your counTry before This awful conflicf is ended. If This becomes your loT, do iT gladly. l TrusT ThaT every one of you has come To undersfand and believe in The ideals of our democrafic way of life. To mainfain This democracy may mean sacrificing per- sonal ambifion for The presenT. Though The days be dark, IeT us remember ThaT sunshine follows rain. May you all live To enioy ThaT sunshine. Harry C. Smalley If has been a privilege To ocf as direcfor of The class of l942 for The posf Three years. Your fine spiriT of cooperafion bespealrs The Type of manhood and womanhood of which we are very proud. May This spirif be an inspirafion for The classes ThaT follow, You are enfering a war-Tarn world: you will no longer be guided by your Teachers.
