MRS. RUTH FRANCIS. MISS LEONA HESS. MISS ANNA GRACE EHHHARDT icfei Our teachers have been doing much to aid the war effort, in addition to their main task of educating the young citizens of this war-torn world. We are proud to report eight of our women teachers knitting for the Red Cross, eight taking the Red Cross First Aid course, one an air raid warden, another a block leader, two first aid instructors, one instructor of school knitting, and another having completed a pref flight course. We are equally proud of the men of our faculty who have participated in the war effort. The first to leave for active service in the United States Army were Mr. Edward Troyan and Mr. Charles Duncan. Shortly after, Mr. Tom Verina enlisted in the Navy. During the school year Mr. Edward Rosser became an instructor in Civilian Defense against War Cfases. Early in the spring Mr. Aaron Kelker left to teach physics to Army students at Hiram College. One member of the faculty qualified as a pre-flight instructor and another was active in the Radio Defense Corps. Most of the teachers served on sugar and fuel rationing. The Board of Education, our chiefs of staff, have participated in the war effort too. One is a member of the N. Y. A. Board, another is a tire inspector, another a Boy Scout advisor, and a fourth is in the United States Army lntelligence Service. fW10!5fwH MR. HAROLD PERRY, MB. ARTHUR HOWSON, MR. ALBERT SCHOLL, MR.
