To the Class of 1942: The year of IQ42 and the Class of 1942 will mean much for democracy. The mass production of planes, tanks, and ships will provide the mechanical units necessary to defend the rights of mankind. Your graduation means the mass production and completion of human units necessary to perpetuate democracy. You may not be called upon definitely to de- fend democracyg you are certain to be called upon to perpetuate it. Fortunately we, alone among the nations, at graduation time have been turning out one million units per year, and in these the fate of democracy rests. Dictators do not like what we have been doing. We bespeak for you a dedication of your time, your judgment, and your courage to the end that your vast pot-ential power will guarantee that government by the people shall prevail. L. lw. Fort ix This year our school has two assistant princi- pals. They are hir. M. M. Brumbaugh and Mr. R. A. Beck. Mr. Brumbaugh, the right-hand man around the office, has been with the school's administra- tion for 'many years. Friend and adviser to all, he receives the respect and admiration of everyone. Because Mr. Brumbaugh has taken a personal interest in the students, many of the alumni have written him, thanking him for his help. Included among his duties are the dispatching of business to the teachers, and keeping order in the halls. He also checks on the failing grades and tries to help failures be avoided. hir. R. A. Beck is the Hman behind the counter. He excuses absences and tardies and gives seventh periods. Despite the unplcasantness of this latter duty, lX'Ir. Beck is a helpful and well-liked figure about school. He, too, takes an interest in the students. As a Senior class ad- viser, his aid is greatly appreciated. -l. xaaufiuzi of flflfaigin ton cbligg
