CLASS OFFICERS RICHARD REID. . . ....... President JOHN KULP ........ .... V ice-President MICHAEL CAFFERTY .... .,,.. S ecretary IIAROLD CLARKE. . . . . .Treasurer ' Dear Ulassrnates: We have finally reached the occasion when we bid good-bye to our alma mater for the last time. During our years here we have built up a reputation of which our class may always be proud. Only through the cooperation of every member of the class was this record attained. Before us now, however, is a task perhaps more complex than any that ever faced a graduating class. It is for us to either step into industry and produce the goods necessary for victory, or to educate ourselves further that we may learn ways and means of speeding up this production of vital war materials. The legacy of free- dom that we have received from our forefathers is being endangered. It remains for us to insure its safety. When this is done, and only then, will our future possess a bright horizon. Each one of us has his or her individual part to play in this great panorama of life, each part being important regardless of size. May we all taste success in abun- dance in whatever we undertake! As President I bid you farewell, hoping we may meet again in the future and continue the associations and friendships we have formed here in the Germantown High School. Sincerely, RICHARD MERSHON REID, Boys' President. 2 1

CLASS OFFICERS PHYLLIS ESHBACH .... ....... P resident BARBARA GosFoRD. . . .... Vice-President LOURAINIA VROOMAN ..... ....4 S ecretary HELEN BEATTY. . . . . .Treasurer Dear Classmates' Our task at Germantown High School is over. With the foundation acquired here, we hope to build a prosperous future. Yet, as a seed, when neglected and for- gotten, fails to bring forth the grain, so We must expect to reap no more of our train- ing-either intellectually or morally-than we have sown. We shall always remember those who have taught not only our school curricu- lum, but have helped to instil in us the qualities of sportsmanship, citizenship, truth, and service. Our obligation to our school, our associates, and our country is to up- hold these traditions. With Hrm reliance upon this education, we are spurred on to accept a challenge greater than ever before offered to America's youth. But with high motives as our sword, We shall conquer without oppressing. ' To you, who have been commendably loyal and cooperative in supporting the class officers, we express a genuine Thank You. May the experiences gained and the friendships implanted blossom forth to enrich your lives. Farewell is said with regret, but we symbolize our Alma Mater as the fertile soil from which an abundant harvest will flourish. Trust in the Harvest-Giver, and He will make each seed to grow. May success attend you, PHYLLIS ESHBACH, Girls' President. 20
