1943 THE WHIRLWIND 9 9 P. U SOI1 S QSSCIQQ The editor and staff members of our Whirlwind Annual are to be congratulated upon the manner in which they have selected a theme and in the way in which they have carried out this theme. They have dedicated it to the boys in the service, and they have placed the honor of dedication where honor is most due-to that of our boys in the service. Our students and former students who are fighting on practically all battlefronts of the entire world certainly deserve this honor. Albany High School, as in the past, is now doing its part to uphold the tra- ditions and honors of this great country. Our boys are to be found in practically every branch of the service, the Army, Navy, Marines, Artillery Corps, Flying Corps, Infantry, Radar, and all other branches. But the boys in this case are not the only ones who are representing this country in the service. We have teachers as well as students who are in different branches of the service. There are students and former students who are members of the WAVES, WAACS, SPARS, and that most important held of service, the great nursing profession. To all of those in the service, both boys and girls, we hope for them all of the honors that can be bestowed upon individuals or groups. In this war, there is another great change that is taking place. All who are left behind may feel a more vital interest in the activities of those at the front than ever before. The group here in school this year deserve a great deal of credit. They have been patriotic and have played a viral part in rationing campaigns, stamp and bond sales, Red Cross drives, scrap metal and tin drives, safety, forest protection work, food conservation, farm labor crop planting, and the saving of many food crops. All students deserve great credit for the manner in which they have assisted in all of these important campaigns. In the bond and stamp drive alone, we have purchased enough stamps and bonds to buy many jeeps, or hun- dreds of parachutes, or hundreds of sub-machine guns, or scores of the new Garand rifles, or thousands of bayonets, or hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammuni- tion. While we have made a fine record this year, our motto should be Save more, conserve more food, and buy more bonds and stamps in order that those who are fighting away from home may have enough. E. A.
