3 . 1. Principalgs Message The month of June is the most important month of the school year. It is at this time that secondary schools throughout the nation signify by means of the formal presentation of diplomas that portions of each student body have completed the academic requirements of the schools in which their re- spective members have been enrolled. Students so qualified are then free to follow one of two paths: they may proceed into the Held of higher education, or they may take their places in the world of business and industry. In either case they have ample opportunity to apply in a practical manner those theories of sound citizenship which they have studied during the years previous to graduation. ' You the class of 1942, will have abundant opportunity to engage in industrial and in educational activities according to your choice, but it can- not be too strongly urged that you must never narrow your vision in the pursuit of interests limited by the hours passed in such activities. The good citizen will find time to participate actively in the affairs of his community, for it becomes more and more necessary that each of us be informed about local and national issues if our American way of life is to survive. I exhort you, therefore, to be active, to be intellectually curious, and to be tolerant. I cannot promise as your reward for honest effort mere monetary gain. I can assure you, however, of the respect of those with whom you will be associated, a respect which can be won only through sincerity of purpose and honesty of endeavor.. HAROLD A.

The Faculty XVe hope that our teachers will remember us as a class which, in spite of all its shortcomings, strove to cultivate an ardor and a zeal for knowledge, worthy of the guidance and instruction they offered us. YVe personally feel that we have been extremely fortunate in having had the privilege of grow- ing into individual personalities with individual ideas and modes of expression under them. XVe are certain, too, that, despite variations in personalities, the class of 1942 recognizes and extolls the faculty as one of the most significant influences in our early development. 24 f ,li X- tx-L pHgC SCUCII
