Superintendent's Message Our forefathers believed that the success or failure of a democracy depended upon a free public school system, and upon this foundation they put their faith and hope for the perpetuation of our form of government. Our country is now faced with the supreme test of our past educa- tional methods and ideals. To those who have gone ahead is now given the task of using their education in winning security and peace for all mankind. We believe they can and will accomplish this. For you is left a far greater task, that of perpetuating security and peace. A task that will call for greater courage, clearer vision, more thor- ough preparation, and a greater love and understanding of humanity than any task ever given any generation to accomplish. We are going to have a few tough years together. We will lose our brothers and sisters and friends. We will give our time, money, and in some cases our lives to help win this war. But if, when the boys come home, you have not prepared yourselves to carry on the complex social and economic life of our nation and to maintain and perpetuate those rights and privileges guaranteed us in our constitution, our nation will have lost the war and our boys will have died in vain. It is your opportunity and responsibility to continue your education until you can adequately maintain yourself in the entire field of living: physically fit, mentally efficient, morally straight, spiritually awake, and willing to serve. Dig into your school work now: go on through college: and when your opportunity comes, extend to all peoples the Christian fellowship and the individual freedoms we are now fighting for. Only by so doing will peace ever survive for long on this earth. H. L SQUIBB.

Senior Class History The fall of 1938 saw the class of 42, with a membership of eighty, en- tering as Freshmen. Officers elected were Burt Main, president; Carl Geyer, vice-president; and Dick Burt, secretary-treasurer. Letta Mae Davis and Bob Crawford acted as our representatives on the Board of Control. Miss Meyer and Mr. Hanna were our class advisers. Our sophomore year found us under the leadership of Don Morten- son, president; Eileen Graden, vice-president; and Tina Lehman, secretary- treasurer. Our Board of Control representatives were Margaret Hirschy and Jack Watson, and our able advisers were Miss Burch and Mr. Richardson. As Juniors we were led by Jack Watson, president; Dick Burt, vice- president; and Pearl Mills, secretary-treasurer. Our Board of Control members were Dick Burt and Betty Cook, and our advisers were Miss Meyer and Mr. Summers. Events of the year were our class play, Young April, which was an outstanding success; the Junior-Senior Banquet; and a class swimming party, which proved very popular. Our senior year found us with an enrollment of fifty-four. Jack Wat- son was again elected president. Art Watson a'cted as vice-president, Mae Hibbard as secretary, and Bob Crawford as treasurer. At mid-year a number of senior boys left for National Defense positions, among them Jack Watson and Bob Crawford. An election to fill the vacancies which their departure created brought Bob Hopkins to the president's chair and named Gordon Wood to the treasurer's position. Gertie Mae Mattson and Leo Bennett were our representatives in student government. Among those who won honors in the class, Margaret Hirschy was out- standing throughout her high school career. Her list of activities included student body offices, class offices, girls' athletics, committees of all kinds, office work, library and finally, student body presidency. Bob Hopkins, as inspirational leader in football and competitor in the one-mile event in the state track meet, also showed his ability for leadership in other fields. He was a very efficient business manager for the annual and served as presi- dent of the senior class during the second semester. Others holding promi- nent positions were Pearl Mills, Bob Crawford, Burt Main, Minerva Hal- verson, Don Mortenson, Natalie McCarty and Gordon Wood. Our advisers were Miss Blossey and Mr. Bates, and the events of the year were the senior play, senior prom, and finally that most important event of all, graduation.
