T y pist A comedy entitled, Ever Since Eve, was presented as the annual Iunior Department play. This smash hit was one of the most successful plays ever staged by the workers of our plant. In the Charles E. Hall debate our Iunior team, displaying unusual talent, defeated the Senior team in a fiery debate. During our term in the lunior Department, we selected our motto and colors. The motto is, Nothing in itself is good or evil, only in its use. Our colors are forest green and white. To close the term of our service in the Iunior Department, we acted as hosts to the Senior Department at a reception held on May 29. The entertain- ment and dance which followed proved to be a huge success, and was a fitting tribute to the Seniors who left our plant last Iune. ln September, 1942, we elected the following officers to guide us through our Senior year: ARTHUR AHLIN ........ ........

Typist We maintained the high standard of our entertainment with the presenta- tion of the rollicking comedy, Campus Quarantine, as the annual Senior Department play. We feel that our class motto was well applied to the formation of our branch of the National Victory Corps, organized in our own plant during our Senior term. The Victory Corps is a Union of all of our workers who are striv- ing to be of service to the all-out war effort of our nation. We are justly proud of the initial contribution of the Seniors to this Union, and feel confident that it will be staunchly upheld by the Iunior Department and the Apprentices. Several departments in our plant have made monetary contributions to the war effort, the Music Department, in particular, being well worthy of praise. At its Red Cross Benefit Concert, S440 was raised, the entire proceeds being turned over to the Red Cross. Some of our fellow-workers have already left our Plant to engage in active service in the Armed Forces of our country. To these we pay tribute. Theirs shall be the confidence that we at home are also fighting, side by side with them. As the Annual goes to press, we are eagerly awaiting the Charles E. Hall debate. This year, after our victory as Iuniors, the debate offers a challenge to our Senior team to keep our record unscathed. Now at the end of three years of service in the I. H. S. War Production Plant, we are looking forward to the graduation exercises of lune. The class of 1943, dressed in royal blue caps and gowns, should present a very colorful picture. With a fond farewell to our high school days at I. H. S., we wish to express our deepest appreciation to Mr. Ayers for all his sage guidance and advice and sincerely wish him every success in years to come. Iames Holroyd.
