!. limit cinss Hl wiv The Senior Class of 1942 started its highschool educational career in the fall of 1935 here at Humes. Came September 1941, the time for their debut into senior supremacy. With the spirit of Veni, Vedi, Vici, they entered into the intricacies of their last year at school, only to find themselves quickly and alarmingly mobilized into the whirl of patriotic duty. Their minds have been trained intellectually and their hearts have been taught the true value of friendship through close contact with fellow class- mates. The meaning of co-operation has been em- phasized to them, the program for their physical well- being has not been neglected. They represent, to- ward the end of their senior year, the example of a well-rounded educational program. Autobiographies always yield interesting personal news items and writings of the Seniors in English compositions are no exception to this rule. lake Alabaster and Mike Lineberger were both born on Christmas Eve, Vernon Whitman was born on New Year's Eve, Evelyn Bishop was born on May Day, and Eva Claire Bruch hcnored her father by being found on Father's day, Alvin Fox had his birth- day on Friday 13th, Mary and lohn Glancy are the only twins in the 1942 class, while Ieanne Hooper was born on their birthday. This year's senior class has two foreign born students-Isobel Hughes and Re- becca Salky-the former being born in Belfast, lre- land, and the latter in Warsaw, Poland. lake and Tillie Alabaster's parents came from Poland while Victoria Harris and Aglaia Nicholas report that their parents lived originally in Greece. Among the unusual hobbies, we find that Walter Barfield specializes in marionettes, Frances Rumley collects gum wrappers, Pauline Hurley collects per- fume bottles, Burton Wilder collects road maps. Ambition knocks at the doors of Alice Bartee and Eugenia Anton who plan to be air-plane stewardessesg Ellen Tinkle, Iuanita Beard, and Martha Nell Brown want to take up costume designing. Would-be nurses are Marie Glatt, Victoria Harris, and lewel Hayes. A few students will consider college and a larger num- ber will probably take a business course. The person with the most frankly written biography, lack Don- nell, declares his life is a blank, and so, turned in a blank sheet of paper. 614 L01 S644 06141 The years glide by on winged feet, Twelve years have slipped away, Since first we entered the gates of knowledge, That gave us a candle to light our way. Twelve years we've been guided, ln ways of truth and right, But now the task is ours To make our future bright, We must not hesitate, we shall not stumble, Though the road we travel is darke- With high ideals shining nelore us We hope to make our mark. Though wars do rage around us, Moy our courage carry us through, And with Victory as our watchword, Dear Humes well be true to you. -ANNE LEE 12-4. l'ugr: Tummy-tuzo Q Q T H E H U M E S H E R A L D
