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”. Gloria Losen, President Plenty neat. 11 nun, a gentleman. Advisor, Miss Fetvedt

60D BLESS AMERICA Remember Pearl Harbor! Today this is the battle cry of all Americans. No American will soon forget that fateful December 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in our Hawaiian Islands. Anxious citizens sat by their radios awaiting further developments. Then, on December 8th, Congress declared war on Japan. For a long time we had been on the brink of this world struggle and now we were really in it. The whole nation was soon to feel the restrictions of war. Thousands of factories geared their machines to meet new government contracts; prices began to rise on almost every commodity; Congress worked on price control; tire rationing went into effect; sugar was to be rationed; but the American people did not protest because they knew that it is easier to give up some things now than it would be to give up freedom later. It is into this upset world that the seniors of 1942 enter when they receive their diplomas. What can they look forward to? If the war continues for any great length of time, the boys will be proudly serving in Uncle Sam’s Army, Navy, and Marines. They will become our eager, determined defenders in making the United States the best place in the world for their future homes. The girls will not find it hard to secure work. As more and more men are called into the service more jobs will open for the fairer sex. Already girls are proving that they can work in coveralls. Girls in assembly lines are helping to win this war; girls on the farms, in the offices, and in all other phases of work are doing their jobs well. They are seeing this war come to a victorious end as they stand ready to serve wherever they may along with the men. Graduates of r 942, remember America is your heritage and your hope. You must treat her like a queen because she holds your future. You must help her make this future worth living for. Pray to God that you may help your beloved country be a “nation indivisable with liberty and justice for all”. Vice-President, Harold Holger W or king. We also served. Studying.
