The homerooms have been selling stamps and bonds and collecting scrap. Train- ing in aeronautics or the fundamental principles of aviation was introduced to create better basic training for pilots, mechanics, and navigators. The homemaking classes have endeavored to adapt girls to the changes due to rationing and other wartime conditions, and the social science department showed government war films and frequently discussed current events. The work of the commercial division has been speeded up, and the branches oi physics and chemistry applicable to the war have been emphasized. Physical conditioning was carried out in the physical education classes by calis- thenics and competitive games. Page 9
