Abbot is trying to
contribute her share
to the war effort, as
she has been for the
past three years. In-
stead of the airplane
spotting and Red Vross and nutrition
classes given last year, we have knitting
and sewing classes on Yvednesday evening
from eight to nine. At the present time
there is an urgent need for knitted cloth-
ing. These classes are for different coun-
tries such as Czechoslovakia. France.
Great Britain, Russia and Holland.
The most interesting class seems to be
that called "The lYorld Today." which
makes a point of studying various sub-
jects of national interest. Each month.
this group of girls, helped by Kliss Hear-
sey, Kliss Roth, and other members of the
faculty. holds an open forum in Davis
Ilall. The subjects that have been dis-
cussed are the election this fall, the race
"BUY if l10l'.N'll.f phase mf. . .
problem. and Germany after the war.
These forums have been popular and
there are lively discussions after the talks.
The Saturday evening programs have
often supplemented these forums, so a
very clear knowledge of world affairs is
gained.
Vynthia Smith has done a wonderful
job with the news, having taken almost
complete charge. Three times a week in
chapel a Senior-Klid gives us a brief ac-
count of the world news of the day.
On April 28 nine representatives of this
group went to Boston to take part in a
discussion on Trade Relationships in the
Post YVar lYorld. This meeting was spon-
sored by the fnited Nations Association,
and eighteen prep schools around Boston
took part.
Through these war service groups, we
have come to feel that we are making an
important contribution to the war effort.
