More than ever before the faculty has striven to help the students of Clark prepare themselves for a not too certain future. New subjects were introduced to accomplish this end, especially in pre-induction train¬ ing. Refresher courses, designed to strengthen the basic groundwork of a good education, were also presented. Working harder than ever before under an increased schedule, the faculty members were, more than ever, friends and able counselors to the students, combining a love of teaching and a sense of humor with gen¬ uine interest in the students. This year witnessed the departure of several faculty members and welcomed Miss May Virden, speech instructor; Mrs. Lena Bonebrake, math instructor; Miss Joan Melass, nurse; Miss Edna Howe, typing in¬ structor; and Miss Beatrice Northstrum, art teacher. The faculty gave invaluable assistance in the stamp drive and the waste paper campaign and was a vital factor in upholding Clark’s achieve¬ ments in all phases of the war effort. Page Seem

With Nothing Cess Zhan Victory ]f our Mark A new flag now flies beneath Old Glory, a flag that symbolizes both the vigilance and readiness of the Minute Men and the spirit of service that now belongs to Clark students At least ninety per cent of the students at Clark buy a defense stamp each month to keep it flying. They know that each bond and stamp they buy now will hasten the day when their fathers and brothers come marching home. It is typical of American democracy that students in a free school should give to the war effort without being forced to do so. It is typical of Clark that their response should be a hearty one. The students of Clark have proved their worth on the battle field and at home in a less spectacular but extremely important way. Determined to win the war and the peace to follow, the Pioneers truly have nothing less than victory their mark.”
