Memories of IQ42 E the Class of 1942, in the days ap- proaching the commencement hour, when high school days are over and life broadens, stop for a moment to reflect. The world does not present a happy reality: no rosy days are these, for the grim reality of war confronts us. We are going out into times of turmoil, not knowing what the future holds. we are determined to do our part: to help in whatever way we may: to fit ourselves to the world need: and to share in the task of remaking the world. We know that each and every one of us will carry in our hearts never-to-be-forgotten memories of Sewickley High School days. We know that the work, the fun, the victories we have shared will help us in the days ahead. The time we have spent together seems all too short as if to remind us of the rapid movement of the world. With mingled feelings of regret and pride, we accept our high school diplomas. We entered our freshman year with the excel- lent enrollment of one hundred and fifty-four. New students were the bewildered yearlings. getting lost though sure we were following our schedules. These wondered at the ease of Sewickley classmates and heard their talk of past history: how, when after entering this building in seventh grade they had the embar- rassment of packing up their books and return- ing to the grade building. We were impressed with the rules and regulations - how would we ever remember? We looked over the Oracle and found classmates' names on the activities lists and learned that to succeed meant we must be ready to volunteer and to work. We thoroughly enjoyed the Julius Caesar and Macbeth, presented by a professional company: the Senior play-Double Doors with the clever mad woman: the Clean-Up Campaign: the big jo'b We made of our Vocational theme. 'Our officers were Lawrence Tiernan, Richard Ruff, and Julia Richmond. And then we were Sophomores and in Senior High School. Edgeworth students in- creased our ranks. We practiced public speak- ing everywhere: wrote autobiographies: gath- ered up all our nerve to dissect Worms and frogs. We tried out for everything and found class members in every activity possible. The Carnival and The Cat and the Canary were the events that year. Our ofbcers were Charles Borem, Helen Hurd, and Marilyn Parker. Junior days were busy days as we took over more and more responsibility for affairs. We moved to the balcony for assembly. We worked toward the Prom in which we would honor the Seniors - and had a line one. We shared in producing Almost Eighteen with high suc- cess and enjoyed The Garden of the Moon. We helped in a mock-election for President, slaved over Historical Essays, ordered our rings, supported the Vocational Clinic. This year our leaders were Richard Mullan, Ralph Smith. Helen McVicker, and Donald Dolde. Then the big day for all high school students came - we were Seniors. How we enjoyed it! How important we felt! But we knew there was work to be done, and we put our shoulders to the wheel to make this a 'banner year. Now we look back over the record. Athletic competition this year was not as keen as usual, except in swimming, but we kept things moving. We look with satisfaction over the record in our issue of the Sewihi. The growth of the band and its colorful uni- forms seems particularly our achievement. The year was broken by Registration, War Ration- ing Enrollment, and the Big Snow. War in- terests claimed time and service and money. We regret the leaving of Mr. Stroup - he will long be remembered as friendly counsellor. Now closes a very busy happy year. It is with deep regret in the heart of every member that we realize that our Sewickley High School days have come to an end. Twenty-five
