11 MR. LOUIS D. BALDWIN Principal 'Lt s.,-nf- 5 Message to the Seniors Boys and girls who have learned that the world does not owe them a living, who have been led to see that a job is a privilege and an opportunity, will early forge to the front. Every manls work is always a portrait of himself, the more he tries to conceal himself, the more clearly will his character appear in spite of him. Nobody is born with the disposition to work. Work is an acquired characteristic. It is idle to say that we are going to need workers. We are going to need every one we can rear and train in every field of human activity. While the nations of the world roar at each other, the work of the world must wait, and the workers toog but the time of waste and worry is almost over. The world is going back to work, and when the dam breaks, it will be the person who is best prepared, the readiest worker, who will be called first. Prepare yourself thoroughly for the work you hope to do. No earnest effort, no knowledge, no skill, ever yet went to waste, but instead fed the power that incited it. Superintendentis Message Patriotism is more than an outward expression of enthusiasm shown toward our country. It is a quality of our inner selves which grows out of a genuine love for our country. Patriotism should not only make us proud of our country for what it is and has been but should also give us the desire' to make it better. In time of war it is natural for people to become hard and bitter in their dealings with one another. This tendency, if uncontrolled, will lower those qualities of our inner selves which are neces- sary to keep us highly civilized citizens of the country which we love. You of the class of 1942 must help your nation to uphold its level of citizenship and consequently its standard of patriotism. MR. ROBERT A. BAGSHAW Superintendent of Schoolr

DALE BRINGMAN President ws, ELLEN BOSTION S ecretary HARRY SWARTZBAUGH Vice-President NAOMI LEMMON Treasurer Class SEN ICR History We, the class of 1942, were given a royal welcome in Eichelberger High School. Characteristic of all sophomores, we rather timidly began to build up as fine a class reputation as can be established. During our first year in E. H. S., we presented a fine dramatic pro- duction, Life Begins at Sixteen. Many members of our class participated in the operetta, The Mikado, and in the all-star play, What a Life. We can boast about quite a few green athletes who tried our for various sports. These boys stuck to their teams throughout their three years in high school and became exceedingly proficient in football, basketball, wrestling, track, soccer, and tennis. The girls, as well as the boys, participated in many sports events. At the end of our sophomore year, we gave a grand Soph-Senior farewell dance, the theme of which was a Mardi Gras. As juniors, we gained a little more confidence in our abilities. The debating team, composed almost entirely of juniors, won first place in the National Forensic League Tournament at Lancaster. Our drama- tic and music students gave outstanding performances in Stage Door, Little Women, and The Forest Prince. Page Ten Time will not dim the memory of the beautiful garden scene of our junior Prom which brought to a close another year. And now as seniors, who are thoroughly confident of themselves, we look back upon our last year. It does not seem very long ago that we presented that chilling, thrilling murder mystery, The Bat. The last chance the senior dramatic students had to display their talents was in the unique all-star play, The Night of january 16th. Many students from our class served on the Orange and Black staff, in the band and orchestra, and on the cheer-leading squad. During our last few days in school, we were re- paid for our efforts by being the guests of the under- classmen at their farewell dances. Our last week sped by swiftly. The bacculaureate service was beautifully presented, and, as we sat beneath the big oak tree on campus day, we began to wonder whether we were really anxious to leave our alma mater as we had thought we would be. The night of graduation arrived, and we realized that even greater things than those which we had accomplished were ahead of us.
