EES ESE LL Senior Class History of 1942 The Senior class of 1942 is proud of its heritage. Here at Russell High we realize that we have unlimited opportunities and advantages and at the same time we are aware of our corresponding obligations and re- sponsibilities. Full of eagerness and curiosity, we entered Russell four years ago as Freshmen destined to discover very soon how small our store of learning was in contrast to that of the upper classmen. After we had learned the rules and regulations, we set to work cleaning our path for a good journey to the goal of knowledge. During the Sophomore year, many of the class were not content with merely following the routine of regular work but took part in several of the school activities. Our primary purpose as Juniors was to gain enough momentum to hurdle the obstacles of the Senior year. Today, we at the summit of our High School career, realize that being Seniors means more than just the last year in school for the majority of us. It means that we are looked upon by the lower classmen for guidance and leadership. It means that we are about to face the world with its many challenging problems. In view of the present national emergency, it means that we must prepare for the work of real men and real women at an earlier age than young people have ever done before. Only after each and every student has hurled every ounce of his strength and ability into his efforts to defend America from the aggressor powers will the world be safe for democracy. If the struggle demands every measure and every prospect of life need be placed on the altar of sacrifice; in the words of the poet— “Tt ain’t the individual, nor the army as a whole, But the everlastin’ teamwork of every bloomin’ soul” H. R. Horton.
