l RAYMOND T. BARNER ,- V X' u 'V -'JI' X S i 'tx u I l l I 'X Supervlslng Pr1nc1pa1 The Class of '42 has recorded here in picture cmd story many deeds and events which it hopes will never be forgotten. These pleasant memories were rnade possible because we were fortunate enough to be born in a democ- racy where we enjoy liberties and freedom that at the present time are not known in any other country in the world. As you read this book, you will find that a democratic philosophy has characterized your school life. You have been taught tc have respect for individual personality, to cooperate with your fellowmen, to exercise self-control, to demonstrate good citizen- ship, to accept responsibility, and to live a useful life. This philosophy you must continue throughout life, and you may be called upon to help defend it. Your training in democratic principles will serve you always. l congratulate you, the members of the class, on completing this first step in your training. May you continue to grow in the spirit of democ- racy. Page 11.

l ROBERT E. AUSTIN Principal Robert E. Austin, principal of the Brownsville Senior High School, has steered our ship through many a storm. Like any good captain, he is not only at sympathetic and wise counselor, but also a firm disciplinarian. Setting our course toward the Port of Knowledge, he has directed us and kept us to that course, urging us steadily onward. Now that the end of our journey is at hand, we want to take MARY ORR this opportunity to express our appreciation for his encouragement and advice. Assisting Mr. Austin in his efforts is a pert- son familiar to all students-Mary Orr, our secretary. In addition ,to keep- ing the records for the school, she is the source of general information for students and faculty alike, All questions and problems, great and small, reach her office eventually and are efficiently and willingly solvecl, To her, as well as Mr. Austin, we owe much for the aid she has given us while in Brownsville High school.
