CLASS HISTORY To a later generation, l942 will be remembered as a year of confusion. of strife, and of sacrifice. Lost on a chessboard of more important issues, someone may push aside the pieces and find a minor episode. lt won't be tire rationing, or the threat of inflation, or price fixing, or a war slogan. lt will concern the efforts of 60 odd high school students to maintain a precedent set by most graduating classes of their school. It will catalogue money earn- ing efforts over a two year period to attain one goal. The details, now that the achievement is out of the question, are important. The Poster, the Junior Prom, the school movies, the Christmas Card Sale-they are in the record but they mean as little as a newly varnished hat rack in a bombed out home. For you see, l942 was a war year. It was not a year for a high school class in some little hamlet called Painted Post to insist that it should uphold a grand tradition. Rather it was a time when people were thinking more of others than themselves and if some Mr. Big clown in Washington said that tires were more important on an Army truck than on a sight seeing bus to the capital city, then Mr. Big and not tradition was right. No, don't say, Well, now don't they think they are too, too noble. The Class of I942 feels the rap. But the Class of 1942 is trying to under- stand the year of its creation, and should it contribute in a small measure of sacrifice that will make Washington trips possible in the future years for succeeding classes, then the Class of i942 has but one answer, We prefer that our younger brothers and sisters take a Washington trip rather than a bund excursion. ln any case, our four years in high school have been most enjoyable both socially and educationally. Starting with a hike and a square dance in our Freshman year, the social events continued with a Lakeside picnic and a roller skating party in our Sophomore year. George Britt and Kenneth Clicquennoi combined efforts to guide us through the final two years of our term in high school. Morehouse, Anna Truesdall, James SUPPOSIN' : Phyllis Brooks . . . .

JUNIOR CLASS The junior Class of I942 has had a very successful year. With three Junior undertakings, w: went to work. We elected the following class offi- cers: President, lmmer Snearlyg Vice-president, Clare Shumwayg Secretary, june Millerg Treasurer, llvl. Norman, Class Adviser, Mr. Sanford. The first undertaking was the selling of Christmas cards. We each sold quite a few boxes and made more than has been raised in many years. Xlve are working diligently on The Poster and hope to have something that will be envied in future years. With Elsie Huggins heading the junior Prom dance committee, we began decorating. Vlfe strove to have our decorations resem- ble a circus, and in our estimation, they were carried out very well. We are looking forward to being Seniors, and we hope to leave a record that will not be surpassed in future years. -- Lynn Morse Alderman, Bernice Allen, Charles Black, Betty Bombrake, Robert Bower, Lewis Bradly, Betty Lou Champlain, Gordon Clark, Alger Crumm, Evelyn Curreri, Mary de Lorraine, Harry Farr, Archie Frost, Ray Cnamble, Clarice Goodrich, Evelyn Hall, Wendell Howell, Arthur Huggins, Arthur Kress, Ronda Lamb, Jerry Ohls, Harold Merithew, Robert McConnell, Bertha Q rx! 1 Morse, Lynn Morse, Vernon Miller, june Miller, Mary Miles, Elaine Norman, Mary ,lane Oakden, Evelyn Payne, William Pierson, Carrie ,lean Sanford, Dorothy Scudder, Russell Schoonover, Harold Senkulics, Frank Shauger, Phyllis Shoemaker, Robert Shumway, Clare Sutton, Delores Searly, lmmer Thom, Marjorie Trowbridge, Ronald Tucker, Charlotte Warren, Helen Wheaton, Robert if .lsr- 35 YV sf ,sr ,ff er .Q fi' ,QT 5 29 s fy,
