o ON 'rHRoUoH a host of extra curricular activities. Activi- F ties which touched and gave color to the campus life of all students. Activities which saw able leadership in President Hideo Luna and his successor, Kenneth Wong, Matsuko Kuwahara, secretary, Evelyn Murashige, treasurerg and ' Mrs. Shizue Yoshina and Ah Kong Chun, advisers. Acti- vities which have required a parallel set of officers at the Olaa unit, liladia Minor, presidentg Arthur Toma, vice presidentg Corporal Darrel Pischke, secretaryg Susumu Kumigi, treasurer, Shogo Abe, adviser. Activities which captured new zest in the new dress of the school organ, Hilo High School News Bulletin coedited by Eladia Menor and Mew Sunn Chock, managed by Toshiyuki Fujimoto, and counselled by Mrs. Yukino Fukubori and Mrs. Marjorie Hartman. Too, with pre-war proficiency, the Junior Police patrolled their beats and directed street and campus tratbdc. Under the advisership of Alfred Serrao, the force was sheriffed by Masao Masumoto at the main unit and To- shiyuki Fujimoto at the annex. New activities, hence new committees, new councils, inspired by the victory program were named to expedite the work of the student body cabinet and representative assembly. These headed student drives and projects among which was the oratorical contest, sponsored by the junior Chamber of Commerce, and from which Seito Ikeda was to emerge campus and island champion and territorial third place winner. Activities too numerous to mention. Activities traditional and novel. Activities which were the pulse, the beat, the life of the campus. They are the heritage left to the day, the heritage of a free school in a free democracy. Munching their lun- ches w i t h complete abondon - no thought of ration cards, not yet.

Perhaps the most graphic expression of student response to the chal- lenge of war eompulsives is the Victory Corps. An organization which suhf scrihes the efforts of 61,500,000 students ol' the 28,000 high schools throughout the country, how fertile must he its resources, how limitless its potentialities. ln such a program, the students of Ililo High were not to he denied. First among territorial groups to he organized, the local unit was hrought to the campus last November to more fully achieve homefront service among the memhers. livery student was enlisted, and Friday was set aside for that part of the Yictory Vorps program directly related to production and civilian defense training. Yet, to say that the Victory Corps was organized only to release student manpower to food production and other war needs is to he aware of only a small, though vitally important phase oi its work. The hes! weapon to light the axis, thc best strategy for IOINOITOWQS peace.
