FARE WELL FAREWELL TO EMERSON .... It is with mingled feelings that I say Farewell to Emerson Junior High School. The years that I have spent here have been the happiest and most inspiring years of my life, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the splendid cooperation and enthusiasm of both the Faculty and the Student Body. It has been this spirit that has made the successes and even the failures seem worthwhile. I take with me many happy memories of Emerson and the friendly associations here. Through the years I will watch with interest your activities and achievements, knowing that the high ideals of the Blue and White will always be maintained. My very best wishes for your continued success and happiness. Most sincerely, BERTRAM A. BETTS

Mrs. Tangeman-Alg., Coun- seling, Vice Prin. MESSAGE TO SENIORS The time of parting has come and we say farewell to the class of 1943. Yours is a time of wide and varied opportunities. In each of you is something that can help to meet this day's needs. May you recognize it, and use it freely to strengthen the cause for which we fight. As steel is tempered to make finer weapons may you be tempered to greatest usefulness. May your opinions broaden into balanced judgment, your independence be moulded into wisdom, and your bright remarks mellow into true humor, but may your gay spirit endure forever to make glad the lives of others as you have made us glad. Sincerely, A RUTH P. TANGEMAN, Acting Principal ADMINISTRATION Under the capable leadership of this year's faculty, the students of Emerson have learned how to become better citizens, also how to be good leaders in the world of tomorrow in which we will have a large part. We of Emerson were very sorry to lose Mr. Betts, but we understand he was needed for more im- portant work. I-Ie is an executive in the Red Cross. We cheerfully welcomed Mrs. Tangeman, who has taken over his position, and Mr. McPherson, who left some of his classes to be our Vice Principal. We realize this is especially hard for them, as they both have work outside these new positions. We wish to thank the office force for their splendid cooperation. Helping Mrs. Shepard were Mrs. Jewell, who left during the year, and Mrs. Glenn, who took her place. We were very sorry to see some of our teachers leave us, but we all welcome our new teachers. Mr. Rentchler, who was needed by Uncle Sam, was replaced by Mr. Bauer. Miss Pierson at the latter part of Mrs. Shepard-Secretary Mrs. Jewell, Assistant Sec'y.
