PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE During the past three years, we have advanc- ed from the freshman, through the sophomore, and now our junior year with many profitable and pleasant experiences to be chalked up for us. Much of this success is due to the efforts of our class advisers, and in our Junior year, namely to Mrs. Alleen Combs. William Austin, and Kussell Steffens. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who helped make the junior play. “Grumpy and the magazine sales a success. As we will take our places as seniors next year, we have a feeling of loneliness as the seniors leave and we are left without their able guidance to help us attain the high standards they have set up for us. To the classes that will follow In our foot- steps we hope we huvo left behind u high stand- ard of sportsmanship and scholarship. STANLEY BURT. President of the (Mass of '41. CLIMBING!
