FAQQLTX? 4 They also serve surely can be said of the teachers of Central High School in these busy and trying war days. We did not all stand and waitf' for some of us enlisted in the armed services. Most of us saw Lieutenant Irwin and Lieutenant Waters when they visited us in February, and admired the uniforms that they honor and that, through their service. honor Central. A number of our teachers-both men and women -had war defense jobs last summer. i A number of Central's faculty are doing volunteer war work of various kinds. out- side of school hours. Two teachers go with a Red Cross group once a week to Percy Iones Hospital in Battle Creek to instruct convalescent soldiers in hand craft. Another serves as volunteer clerk several hours a week at the YMCA, where help also is needed. Many more have been active in Red Cross work-making surgical dress- ings and knitting. We are busy people. We are fewer in number. and so our work is heavier. Classes are larger: there are more extra-class tasks lor all-tasks that are extra in more ways than one: study halls -those joyous study halls are larger - much larger. Oh, indeed we are busy people! We are glad to do our extra share - unglamorous and ordinary and unexciting as it is -for Central's life and Central's girls and boys are our life and our responsibility. . Yes, the teachers of Central High also serve. i W Adminiltratxon Page ll
