MRS. ROTMAN Hello, everybody, remember us? Weire the fellows who represent the February Class of '42. You'll be seeing quite a lot of us from now on 'cause we're pretty important, you know. Now, as class mascots, we'd like to introduce our sponsors, Mrs. Rotman and Mr. Ott. They have been really swell to the whole class and have done a fine job in leading the class. Let's hear what they have to say for themselves. at wtf 1 E4 Af0oI and light-hearted I take to the open road Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before mr leading wherever I choosef' The Song of the Open Roadu-Walt Whitman. We have worked and played together. The relationship has been most pleasant. Guidance has often been offered you which you have graciously and, I hope, profitably acceptedg but now, yours is the open road, and yours to choose wherever that road may lead. I know that you will choose well. May your choice be crowned with happiness and success. MR. WILLIAM H. OTT Dear Friends of the Class of I911-2: I deeply appreciate the honor you conferred upon me when you selected me to co-sponsor your class. The realization of the importance of this honor is the keener, since I feel through me, you in reality expressed a desire to be guided by your faculty. Three years ago you entered our grand high school with the desire to fit yourselves for honor- able careers. You have shown your mettle and made good. You are grladuating with a fine foun- dation in your chosen field of study and are going out into a world of endless opportunities with purpose and courage. I am proud of you and congratulate you on your achievement. I expect each one of you to fulfill your obligation of living a vital, useful life. I hope the ties which bind you to your Alma Mater will be increasingly stronger and more beautiful. Sincerest personal thanks, congratulations and all good wishes. 34

Xgg. 'I' CLASS OFFICERS Here are some other folks we'd like you to meet: the class officers. The students made a fine choice when they picked these officers to represent them. Now, how about a few words from the class president, Bob Durningl As we, the class of February 1942 face our commencement year in the John Bartram High School, we hope that we have done as well as the classes before us, and also left something in the school of which we may be proud. It was three years ago that the John Bartram High School was ofhcially in- augurated. We, with our new principal, Dr. Burloard, entered as freshmen to later become the first class to spend its entire high school life in John Bartram. We feel deeply honored in this, and hope that the following classes will have the same devotion for their Alma Mater. Our senior year was very pleasant in regard to our activities. The West Point trip proved to be most beautiful and educational, and something we shall always remember. The dances in the gym were enjoyed by everyone. The Prom, Class Day, and the Dinner Dance were the highlights of our senior term. All this could not have been accomplished were it not for the fine Work of our sponsors, lVlr. Ott and lVlrs. Rotman, and all the other teachers and students who helped to make our senior year a success. May I extend to Dr. Burkard and the members of the faculty my sincerest gratitude and thanks for all they have done for us during our stay at John Bartram? I should like to wish them, and also my fellow students, success and well-being throughout the future years.
