OUR PRINCIPALS QNQJZQQMMM In this book, dedicated to our school and to our boys in the service ot their country, it is only titting that we pay tribute to the many tine qualities they express. Outstanding among these is obedience, which more than all else determines success in the armed torces and in civilian lite. I hope that every boy and girl who plans to enter the armed forces ot the United States, or to talce a place in the industrial world, will learn this lesson before leaving Montebello Senior High School. To be obedient means to be at peace even while in the conflict ot battle: to be disobedient means tailure when you most want to succeed. Goodbye and Godspeed. Lt. Burton P. Hall I am proud ot the tine cooperation ot the Associated Students ot l942-I943 and ot our taculty, so well expressed in our school accomplishments. We have endeavored to advance in our war ettorts as to instruction in classes and in the large number ot students working to release man power. Our school has aimed to teach each student how to think: how to exercise iudgment in his actions based on understanding true values in good daily living, and how to be a contributive citizen to our com- munity. Let us accept our new responsibilities in military service and in worlr situations as a privilege and a challenge to build a better world. Amaricanism is a vision in the brain, a cry in the blood, and a tlame in the heart. Any man who lives it may have it. But the man who lives it not. can never claim it. This is the spirit ot America in which we want to live. May each one ot us do his part. Evetyn Flowers Barnes Eleven
