AC T V T ES HH 4 Last Requests During the last few months of the current school year, the students who are about to leave for broader and more challenging fields of indust¬ ry and thought, have taken stock of their abilities and achievements. As spokesman for the class of ’42, I feel that we must have a last word with those who are following closely behind us. We thought of leaving our successors advice and suggestions to deal with the problems which will inevitably confront them; but, knowing them as we do, we were afraid we would be unheeded. Nevertheless, we wanted to leave them somthing. We thought and thought and thought. Then, by a stroke of good luck, an old document was found in the dusty files preserved in a lawyer friend’s office. This paper, prepared several years previously by a member of our group, mentions each sen¬ ior by name and his last request before departing from the halls of M.H.S. We hereby submit it to you. We, the class of 1942 of Montvale High School, wish to leave our sincere appreciation to the faculty and principal for the guidance and in¬ spiration which they have given us to reach our goal. To the coming Senior Class: We leave all the pleasures and enjoyments that have been ours, the honor of appearing in the senior play, and the honor and privilege of wearing the caps and gowns next June. Junior Metz grants his presidency to the coming president of the class of ’43. James Forgie leaves his way to argue unnecessary things with Mr. Ellis to Calvin Smith. Jane Brown’s high scholastic ability is left to Jeanette Mosley. David Noell leaves his athletic ability to George Thomas. Edley Rosazza wills her laughing manner to Geraldine Luck. Wesley Huddleston sadly leaves the pleasure of carrying Miss Nover’s books to William Hawkins. Billy Inge leaves his fidgety, wrigglesome and jittery ways to Kinkle Bartley. Ellen Rosazza passes on her helpfulness and graciousness to Sybil Wheeler. Louise Ward leaves her athletic ability to Kathleen Hawkins. Hildrey Pollard dedicates his high office job to Ethel Miller. Virginia Bussey bequeaths her honor grades in history to Fred Johnson. Hanna Olsen wills her jolly and happy go lucky way to Edna Smith. Geraldine Chilton leaves her ability to argue to Mary Virginia Ar¬ rington. Edith Ayers babyish ways are left to Virginia Allen. Gaynelle Ramsey wills her determination to Betty Ann Brugh. Evelyn McGuire wills her way of neglect to Virginia Johnson. Mary Jane Holdren bequeaths her part in the brain trust of the class to Helen Dooley. Buddy Thomas wills his love for the fairer sex to that up and com¬ ing Romeo, Radford Kirkwood. (Continued on back io£ next page) Memories Dear Parents, teachers, classmates, friends, Again another school year ends! Again a senior class is here— Sorry that graduation is near. So, as we, the class of forty-two Bid you now a last adieu, To you I shall do my best to impart Some memories dear to each senior’s heart. In just a little while we’ll say good-by To our grand old school, old Montvale Hi, But in our hearts we’ll cherish each memory dear, Of all that we did in our senior year. We’re all proud to be before you tonight Knowing that we’ve won our fight. That now we may receive our reward For all these years we’ve worked so hard Yet, work alone was not our share— For many a day we were free from care, Many a happy hour our class Has spent in sports so soon to pass. “Classmates, I’ll miss you all, I know; Our high school days all have to go. I’ll miss Junior Metz, our class president; And then our good sport, Mae Bramlett. I shall never forget Bobby, Doris or Frances, Our school parties, picnics, plays, and dances. There’re Marvin, Ellen, Dot, and Lucille And the excitement now that all of us feel. There’re Billy, Jessie, Gertrude, and Ed.- And the amusing things that each one said. There’re David, Hildry, Clifton, and Buddy Who tell of the lessons they had to study. There’re Virginia, Ada, Ambrose, and Geraldine And the sturdy athletics on the baseball team, Then there’re Catherine, our high school queen, Gaynelle, Evelyn, and Maxine. A pal like Hanna is hard to find And one like Jane of so bright a mind. And where can we find another Kirk Who never has been known to shirk? I’ll miss our good sport Ruby Key And Edley with her winning way. Then there’re Edith, our Senior tease, Mary Jane, Mildred, and Louise. (Continued on following page) JL •f-j MEMORIES DEAR (Continued from preceding page) There’re Wesley, Warren and also James And their participation in the various games. In fact, when all is said and done I’ll miss each and everyone. But besides my classmates, both short and tall, I’ll always remember the scenes in the hall; I’ll never forget the three o’clock bell When out of door’s we’d rush pell mell. There’re the Home Ec. party and the senior play, And Dr. Lyles’ party and county track day, The athletic banquet, the senior picnic, And a prayer in our hearts we wouldn’t get sick. When years and years have all passed by And one of our annuals I happen to spy, I will think of old times and utter a sigh- Homesick for pals of Montvale Hi. —Mary Jane Saunders Vj LAST REQUESTS (Continued) Clifton Ward passes on his leadership to Jim Billy Obenshain.

To the school, we leave our best regards for all it has done for us, the class of ’42.

I •M Girls Basketball The records show that 1941-42 was not a successful year for basket¬ ball at Montvale as far as the number of games won goes. But we have learned that it is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. Jane Brown made moire points than any other player this season, with Betty Anne Brugh, a close runner-up, and Ruby Foster third. Substitute forwards were Maxine Sublett, Mary Foster and Mae Bramlett. The guards, Edith Ayers, Mary Jane Saunders, and Louise Ward, also came in for their share of praise because of their nice teamwork. Other students who played in the position of guard were Mildred Foster, Catherine Ayers, and Doris Crouch. Our sincere appreciation is extended to Miss Massie for coaching us and to Mr. Peters for refereeing our home games.

(Continued on next to last page) •Hr 1L CL a Creative Writing THE LOCKER Deep down beneath the ocean wave, There is a deep and common grave, Where all the ships that brave the gale, Or showed the storm a snowy sail, Now fulfill their destiny. Here lie the ships of Viking bold, Who sailed the seas in dlays of old, Now not with those of later date, Each sharing now a similar fate, The harbor of eternity. Down where the sun’s rays shine, To warm the cheerless icy brine, The currents of the miighty deep, Plow where the long-dead sailors sleep, And sway the rigging overhead. Here rust the cannon of the fleet. Who brought the vanquished to their feet. Where life that never sees the day, The phosphorescent fishes play— The guardians of the ocean dead. —CHARLES WILSON GENERAL MacARTHUR General Mac Arthur is very brave, And many American lives he may save. He fights our ‘enemies, willing as can be To save America for you and me. As he fights the enemies both far and near. He never gives up or never shows fear. We are proud of him as proud can be, While he helps save America for you and me. LORENE BOWLES 6th Grade WHAT SPRING MEANS TO US With spring come flowers And new leaves and grass; And birds that sing With joy we hope will last. We have April showers Which come almost everyday To bring out May flowers, And make us happy and gay. —NANCY WHITWORTH 7th Grade JACKIE’S CRACKUP Jackie climbed behind the wheel, Said, “I’m gonna give Lizzy A high speed deal”. He let out the cluth, stepped on the gas, And bumped his nose on the windshield glass. After he’d driven about a block, Lizzy began to rattle and knock. He got stuck up and fussed, and; cussed, And soon got covered with mud and dust. He got back in, madder’n heck, His religion lost and a crick in his neck. He parked Lizzy on a hill so steep, Yawned once and fell asleep. Lizzy started down the grade, You should’ve seen the jump she made. Jackie woke with an embarrassed cough, Said, “I must’ve left the emergency off”. He sold Lizzy two days since. At a nearby junk yard for two cents.
