De eme Activitier Conquer we must, when our cause it is just. Firm in this resolve and convinced that prepa- ration, both thorough and careful, is a vital necessity during this critical time, the adminis- trators, faculty, and student body of lohn Mar- shall have united to do everything in their power to insure our safety and to preserve the inde- pendence of our country. That we may be pre- pared for any emergency, air raid drills have been practiced at unexpected moments during the day. Many defense committees have been established, the students joining these volun- tarily. Coach Cameron and Miss Anderson have put all their effort into teaching First Aid to those most suited for this work. Students, under the direction of Mr. Goldsmith and Mr. Oyler, have been trained to control fires. Mr. Oyler, assisted by Mr. Hurley, is in charge of the Safety Group also. Those studying the traffic problem are under the direction of Mr. Marlatt and Mr. Rid- dle. Miss Tapper and Mr. Dyck have had many volunteers for bicycle messenger service, a risky but very important job. lrnportant also are the P.B.X. operators and house messengers, guided by Mrs. Banning and Mrs. Hallinan, and the radio committee supervised by Mr. Haas. Miss Heggie and Mrs. Edwards have, with the aid of their committee, stored enough food to feed the school for one week. A victory garden has been started. To aid in maintaining a fine morale, which is vitally important, a strong com- mittee is functioning under the direction of Mrs. Palfrey, Miss Nofziger, and Miss Feeman. Mr. Roberts and another group have undertaken the job of preparing constructive propaganda: Mr, Flam with a group of boys has provided helpful charts and maps. All information con- cerning a war emergency has been gathered by the committee sponsored by Mr. Edwards. But our own safety has not been our only concern. Many girls under the instruction of teachers have knitted sweaters and sewed skirts for the Red Cross. Defense Stamps have been sold in the student store. Marshall has given everyone a chance to aid in keeping that Star- Spangled Banner waving in triumph o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave . Vlciory garden?

Mrs. Lewerenz and Terry Kaplan discuss cover designs with staff members All the art work, such as the design for the cover, and the stately eagle on the service honor roll page, was done by Terry Kaplan, under the direction of Mrs. Lewerenz. Iust when we thought we had had all the bad luck possible, another blow struck. Mr. Morley, who had so ably advised us concerning printing matters, entered defense work. We went around with drooping looks for a few days, but Mrs. Gray proved to be a successful pinch hitter. Mr. Edmunds of the Mission Engraving Ccm- pany was always a kindly adviser and helped us with many a problem. Now the year is over. The Barrister of l942 is here. We of the staff, and our faculty sponsors, have tried valiantly to produce a worthwhile book, The result is in your hands. We hope you like it. t Mr. King and Mr. Neuswanger consult with staff members on problems ot photography
