N ' 'Y -Q' Flight Leaders Meet Crisis The East High faculty has co-operated in the eiiort to incorporate in the classes material pro- viding a background oi understanding oi the war and preparing the students tor military service. 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

This program began with the adminis- tering of the Iowa Achievement and Iowa Silent Reading Tests. The Otis Quick-Scoring Mental Ability Test administered in March set an LO. ik 'A' 'A' ir 'A' if rating for each student which served as a future guide in teaching. The last of the tests was the Stanford Arithmetic Test necessitated by the demand for a fundamental background in mathe- matics of student graduates going into wartime jobs. The results of all tests have been entered on cards placed in the permanent, cumulative record in the office. ...pagell
