VIRGIL R. HENRY PRINCIPAL B. S., M. Ed. Grove City College University of Pittsburgh A Grand Piano is one of the innovations at the Senior High School this year. While the desire for such had often been expressed, it remained for Mrs. Lisbeth Pond Hathaway to furnish not only the inspiration but the concrete work necessary to make it a reality. Through many years of effort—sometimes very discouraging, she has given her time, money and work to make this a success. We are all grateful to Mrs. Hathaway for this fine piano. The good and inspiration it will furnish to the high school for years to come cannot be measured. BOARD OF EDUCATION MR. WILLIAM LORD, President MR. RAY MARTIN, Vice President MR. KENNETH BUSS MRS.

NORMAN C. KOONTZ SUPERINTENDENT B. A., M. A. Yale University, Columbia University A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS OF 1942 Our Nation, today, is in very grave danger,—a danger that threatens every individual and every institution in the country including the free public schools. This danger is no longer abstract and far away. It is personal and immediate. It must be faced at once by you and me. Its presence has placed upon the schools a very heavy task: first, to help in every way to win the war; second, to continue the education of children and youth so that in the days ahead, when peace comes, there may be an educated citizenry. The relative importance of each of these services has been altered radically in the last few months, by Pearl Harbor, by Singapore, and by the concentration of German naval strength on the Atlantic front. The education of children and youth must continue but, for the time being, the schools should concentrate upon the more immediate need, the winning of the war. We are fitting the activities of the school as rapidly as we can into the government’s plan and in the future will look to the government for guidance. Both we as individuals and the schools as an institution must conform to the total plan of the Nations in arms. We cannot do what each of us thinks would be wise or best; we must do what the government wants us to do and we will. We wish you happiness and success in a war-torn world and are confident that you will play your part nobly and well. ' NOltMAN KOONTZ, Superintendent of Schools.
