The first person new students become acquainted with is Mr. Ralph Cox. personnel director and chiel student counsellor. He advises students on sched¬ ules and credits, besides providing valuable aid in placing graduates in business and industrial positions. Mrs. Mabel Brown, the ollice secretary in charge of our too-lamiliar ninth hours, and Miss Julia ♦Jedinsky. stenographer, are always ready to care lor student needs.

Forever above the America that is ours Old Glory shall wave—the symbol of eternal freedom, justice, and equality Torn and tattered, but still un¬ daunted, it waved above Pearl Harbor after the treacherous attack that marked the entrance of the United States into the greatest conflict of all times—the Second World War. Once again comes the reassuring tread of marching feet, marching to work, to war, to victory. Our windows are proud with service stars, our hearts are filled with thanksgiving for a country under God. Overnight, Americans became a unified, fighting people. We in America know that we are fighting for the inherent right of all men to govern and judge themselves. The peace we win shall not be tem¬ porary; neither shall we compromise with any totalitarian power. All our strength and might is bent toward obtaining an America for all people, a global democracy. To the Stars and Stripes we pledge our allegiance—long may it wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! REMEMBER DEC. 7TH!
