It is with keen interest that I note the unusual action of the Purple and White staff in dedicating this publication to you, the students of our high school and the various activities represented by you. You will readily agree that your school is committed to the task of affording an opportunity for you to develop your own best personality. Many pleasant associa- tions will be recalled as each one of you recounts school experiencesi' in P. H. S. I am persuaded that your teachers, par- ents, and friends join me most heartily in expressing faith and confidence in your courage and ability to carry forward, and to meet the challenge of the days which lie ahead. Please accept my most cordial greetings. FINIS M. GREEN J. L. HUTCHINSON. B. S., M. S. Principal Emeritus ruins M. GREEN. B. s.. M. s. Principal TO THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1942 This book is your annual, the yearbook of the class of 1942. As the years come and go, you will cherish this book more and more. And, too, life will mean more and more to each of you. This Senior Class is a representative group of the more than 25,000,000 youth of this country of ours. I want to tell you there is much that is right with this great body of American citizens. Here are five things in which you are usually right: First, you search for knowledge. You are living in an age when youth desires knowledge. Second, you have reverence for the past. The majority of you are anxious to do something to re- ward your parents and to be of service. The third relates to your attitude toward your country and your government. You are learning to study and to think. The fourth concerns your attitude toward the future. You are thinking of your career, of your life work well done. Fifth, you are concerned about morals and religion. More youth go to church and cultivate the spiritual life than ever before. Youth today is living in an age o P wonderful opportunity. May the member it ff, Q 'V'.' , of this Senior Clas make the most of lif ,V fp ,-gV as you live it day by day. K' 5 E V 'J 1 Wf JOHN L.
