Maujouli Mum, Secretary lj. l.. Wmroiw, l'rineip.il, Geometry HE HOLDS THE BATON When an audience is thrilled with music of a great symphony orchestra, they are likely to give the conductor most of the credit. They should not overlook the fine musicians who play the music and the sponsors whose contributions have paid the bills. The little man in front with the baton cannot get very far without the help of all the other people. The conductor is not able to put on the show by himself. His job is to bring order and harmony out of the group under his baton. Even in swing bands the individualistic outbursts of the trumpet and the rippling runs of the clarinet must not fail to fit the pattern of the piece being played by the entire group. Some of the school principal's assistants correspond to the first-chair men of the orchestra. Others just play as their turn comes. Among these helpers is the young lady whose picture appears on this page. She is the one who does all the chores for this important institution. Many people do not appreciate the great variety of work she does such as recording attendance and grades, writing letters, cutting stencils, keeping sundry accounts, checking bills and the general accounts for the trustees, attending to all the financial records of the Future Farmer Loan Fund, and answering questions over the counter and over the telephone. She is always serene and capable, even when some of these questions seem trivial. Nothing can cause discord so surely as to have things go wrong in the office. Such harmony as we are able to have is due in considerable measure to our office secretary. ln our symphony the tax-payers are the sponsors and the school trustees are the board of directors. When all of us work together in full cooperation, we have the proper condi- tions for a real harmonious result. 9

THEIR SCORE IS COMPLETED We, as seniors, are sounding our last note. We, however, are not so impressed by our own importance that we cannot remem- ber the struggle we have had reaching the top. We entered high school in September, 1937, seventy-six very frightened individu- als. Few of us had ever realized that there were so many shades of red, but we soon saw plenty, for the sophomores did not spare the paint. We soon became organized by elect- ing officers and acquiring the name, class of '41, Kim. Ni-mm, Pmidcm When we became sophomores, we kept up the tradition by giving the freshmen a reception. As juniors, we were once again hosts when we entertained the seniors at the junior-senior banquet. Strains of Aloha still haunt us, serving as a reminder of the enchanting Hawaiian setting. During that year we devoted part of our time to the play, Don't Darken My Door. This year we gave another successful play which is portrayed on another page of this book. All through our four years we have been outstanding in sports, and many of our class are musically inclined. In previous operettas and this year's Bandjoree and Extrava- ganza we were well represented. The officers in order have been Kenneth Mills, Glenda Bates, Shirley Efird, and Keith Nystrem, presidentsg Wallace - Y Ransier, Keith Nystrem, Elsie M Eisner, and Richard Perry, V , vice presidents, Keith Nystrem, Norma Hammond, Art Gil- strap, and john Haggard, sec- - retariesg and Shirley Efird, , Marie Beck, Norma Hammond, i and Evelyn Dildine, treasurers. On June 6, 1941, we, forty-seven seniors, marched up to receive our diplomas. We nj had the honor of being the twenty-fifth class of Caruth- lifl to right: R. Perry, vice prexidentg E. Dildine, treasurer, -I. Haggard, . . wmretaryg Min Wall, adviser, K. Nyxtrem, president. ers Union School- 11
