Principalls lvlessage Prospect High School, along with the rest of our public schools, has been doing its part to meet the emergency, which now exists. The burden of carrying on in the midst of war, has rested on the capable shoulders of our teaching staff, principal, and school directors, each of which has had a task to do and has done it well. The task of carrying on the duties of providing the funda- mental training necessary for participation in the armed forces, for service at home and abroad, though difficult, has been met. lt has not been necessary to drop any of our courses. ln- stead, we have added Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Ad- vanced Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Chemistry, Latin, and Business Arithmetic. Each of these courses has helped to enrich Pros- pect's educational opportunities. With a splendid group of officers in our Student Body, Classes and Organizations, Student Activities have really gone to the top. Not only were these events well organized, but also a good time and lots of fun was had by all. The only regrets which we have felt during the year have been those Good-byes that have been hard to say. Prospect's Directors, Faculty, and Students, promise these fellow classmates that our Education Banner will be carried high until victory is won.

Their first party was held at Grieve's, followed soon thereafter by one in Medford, then a farewell party for Bennie Ash at Mr. Scheel's home, and last, but not least, a Junior-Senior party in Medford. During this last party, the Seniors had their pictures taken for the Annual. A pennant, in class colors, was purchased from class funds and hung in the library. The graduates wore caps and gowns for graduation exercises and baccalaureate services. This was something new in the history of Prospect High. The Juniors and Seniors collaborated in many activities this year. The Junior-Senior banquet and prom were held May 5 in the gym. lt was a semi-formal affair. lnvitations were issued to all the alumni and other guests included all Juniors, Seniors, and their dates. King for the evening, Dee Neville, was chosen from among the Seniors by his fellow classmates, and the queen, Virginia Ridgeway, was his date for the event. An or- chestra from Medford was hired for the dance. The Juniors and Seniors also got together on the play Everything Happens to Us and gave some fine performances. The Seniors enjoyed their sneak despite the efforts of the Juniors to overtake them. Everyone was sorry to see some of the boys leave, before graduation, for the armed forces.
