CLASS OF 1942 Pullovers, plaid shirts, saddles, fingertip coats and fringed ’kerchiefs were the fashions of this year that we have found very interesting. We opened our activities with “Spring Fever”, our senior class play. Donald Applen and Howard Haugerud carefully shaped Rudy Ellis of the stage as a Bolshevik character of exciting interest despite his strong and clever resistance. Professor Bean’s flashlight excursions in the garden in search of Coleopteras and the love scene that Howard and Goldie created for the matinee audience enjoyed the unrestrained laughs and thrills of two large audiences. To a few girls, however, the most memorable action will be the hours of patient labor spent in cleaning the wool rug on which artist’s charcoal had been dropped. On two other occasions the lights of our gymnasium were dimmed, but instead of a play production being the featuring attraction we played with under classmen in a jam session manner. Swing music and light toes softly manufactured the swishing, treading hum of a dancing youth. We had a lot of fun in play, but we also enjoyed our work. Imagine a class with so much money that it had a difficult time deciding what to do with it. That’s the Class of ’42. After quite a lengthy discussion, an agreement was made to donate a considerable sum to help defray expenses of the annual publication, and in a practical manner the remainder was voted to be donated to the Red Cross Relief Fund. In keeping with the fashions of the time, the Class of ’42 elected as its motto “No Victory Without Labor”. The connotation of this motto is warmed by the Red Rose and the crimson and white colors of the Class. War clouds did not completely darken the avenues of a pleasure seeking youth, but they did add a shadiness and a softness that enriched all recreation and academic freedom. This Class has the rare opportunity and privilege of knowing that every member already has been employed to do a job in life. The first and foremost task of each one will be to help turn those dark war clouds around as shining images of peace. But, before the emotional and quivering notes of taps penetrate the stilled air of a peaceful world, these tasks must be done for there will be “No Victory Without Labor”.
