CLASS lllST0llY Freshman Year Our Freshman year! How we did look forward to the year, when we would pass into a newer stage of our lives. We were fresh all right and in every sense of the word, and ready to set the school on ire with our ideas. Une of these was to raffle off a ton of coal, and it was different from previous fnancial projects and a huge success. We decided to select our class colors and finally after much discussion Navy Blue and White were chosen. Along this line came our class motto - Labor Omnia Vincit, meaning Labor Conquers All. This was selected by our Latin students, and we considered it a wise selection. A banner had to be made, thus under the guidance of Mr. Krause the ninth grade boys worked steadily and as the year passed swiftly by made, cutfout, and stained a banner for the Class of '42. . This year in our class we were very happy indeed to see several smilingffaces, representaf tives from Mill Rift. All three were boys 4 John Kelly, Richard Reut, and Lawrence Padget. We were quite happy when this year was over. We looked forward to our next title, Sophisticated Sophomores. :gs gg 4: :it ga 11: rg Sophomore Year The morning of September 6, 1939 dawned bright and sunny. From the sleeping, shaded streets of Matamoras came the sound of laughter and excited voices of the boys and girls trooping back to school. We were Sophomores this year and life's dull days of summer ceased and exciting days of school took their place. We had quite a few rainy days this year and as a consequence our treasury grew. Mr. Kfause, our faithful leader, started us off on the right foot by giving us the usual Lecture of what and whatfnotfto-do. The vacations came and went this year faster than ever before. We were no sooner out of school than we had to come back. The biggest event of this wonderful year was our first play, Professor How Could You, which was a success from beginning to end. The days started growing longer and before we knew it, it was june and school was over. Our next year is our Iunior year and if it is as much of a success as this year, we will not go wrong. , V Y L -zirggrv Y sig l il-1555 'qi' ,i , .E-!r, 1 qffgs 7-Q'-if-1 - Qi- 55: L-V Yi ' - X-iff, heb 'D 53 , I ': i- ,.

Junior Year On the early morn of September 3, 1940, we the Class of '42, wandered back to school after a wonderful three months vacation. As jolly juniors, we found Mr. Krause waiting and willing to guide us through another year, In October we received our junior Jackets. Were we proud? 7 7 We strutted around for months showing them off. ln November we had the thrill. of our lives. Mr. Krause introduced a new boy to us. Clement Slocum. The girls went goggyfeyed over him and the boys were set back a notch. In january we returned from a wonderful Christmas vacation. ln the spring we had our IuniorfSenior Party. lt was a great success and every one had a swell time or so he said. Gee, it was wonderful being Juniors, but the time went all too fast. ln April. we presented our play, The Crazy Smith Family. That also was a great success. We selected our class rings the latter part of May so we could have them all during our Senior Year. june 6, 1941 was a happy day in our lives. All we had to do was wait for our big year f our Senior Year. si: si: 1 :ga at gg: ri: Senior Year We felt very important when we started our Senior Year. We considered ourselves almost at the top of the ladder so far as high school was concerned. The first big event in our Senior Year was receiving our rings, They are yellow gold, set with a blue stone, on which is mounted the school crest. Mr. 'Clark directed our play, 'lCurse of the Crystal Ball. After the play, we coasted until january, when we started our year book. We chose Democracy as the theme. We think it's the best yearbook ever published in M.H.S. but then we're prejudiced. We barely had our yearbook completed, when the Prom. problem arose. Our Prom theme was Spring . As usual, the decorations were beautiful, and as usual it rained. Before we were able to catch our breath, graduation was here. Tonight closes the history of the Class of '42 as a class. From now on we must make individual history in this democracy of ours s--- if we are to keep a democracy. , a-,. 74- -- -' ,-g-V A V 'J '-?-- 'f - -1 'L' -riff, f I is ..- .
