THE CLASS 0F 1942 i l' Test in sciencef, Not on our second day! , Oral compositionf' Is there no mercy! K R x. L' i And algebra! I-low we floundered. What did we -L I care about X and Y? Our problems were not those that could be solved by any algebraic equation. x , Where is room one? How do you work this locker combination? Shall I take science with Miss Zachary or with Mr. Christ? Did he say, 'Ninth hour'? Those are not problems for higher mathematics! But we solved them, and we survived. Fifty-four strong, we felt equal to almost any task back there in the fall of 1938. But faced by a battery of grim teachers and a life seething with regulation, our courage simply oozed from us.

Yet we are not a group to be remembered for our great industry. The casual observer might classify us as the leisure class, however our record of accomplishment is indeed impressive. Our assembly program revealed some of the remarkable talent to be found on our roster. For clever entertainment, we know of nothing that surpasses the terpsichorean art as interpreted by Marcella Linzell. The lilting voices of Doris Iiartelt and Erika Leuschner were received with wildest acclaim. The milk-drinking contest, so easily won by Don Grischeau, reveals that we i
