Hlalhere is the boys' gym? How do I get to the machine shop? YVhere is the prineipal's ol- lice? Questions like these and many others were cheerfully answer- ed by the two girls from the Honor League who sat at the information desk in the front hall, taking turns, period by period, throughout the day. People u n fa m i l i a r with Hughes became more and more numerous as Hughes shops were used for defense training. RED CRCDSS ENLISTS HUGHES Needles clicked as busy lingers knitted for the Red Cross. In the front hall at noon and at every odd moment, girls turned out sweaters. afghan squares, mit- tens, helmets, and socks. It was even rumored that some patri- otic males had secretly formed a knitting society. Mrs. Kahn gives lirst aid to Virginia Larberg For those who did not knit or crochet there were classes in first aid, canteen, child care, and for sen- ior girls, nurses aid instruction. Colorful scrap books of cartoons, articles of lasting interest, games, pic- tures, and puzzles were made for naval and army hospitals. The covers were made by art classes, and volunteers did the rest. Both laeulty and students went to Work for civilian defense. Page 12

t the book shop we hope that we niay continue to buy those precious supplies for school, things that disappear so quickly! In the Lunch room we ponder how to make both ends nieet, and still grant a lair share to the middle. The .-Xrt League feasts our eyes, as the dining rootn our bodies. Many clubs contribute valuably to life at Hughes, and supply interesting experiences and good times. A busy center of activity is the Office, with all its workers supervising the unbelievable number ol' tasks perl'ormetl throughout the school by the nieinbers of HSO.

STUDENT AID FUND CRCWS Clink! Clink! Money was dropped into the mite boxes that appeared several weeks before Christ- mas. The offerings were turned into the office for the Student Aid Fund. This fund lends a hand to students who otherwise would not be able to continue their education. Paper, car tickets, clothing, or whatever it is that is needed to give them their chance come from the mite boxes at Christmas. Cookies, Candy, and novelty sales by home rooms help to swell this fund. Half of the proceeds of the Sage production of Old Doc, went to this worthy purpose. One of the finest things about this service is that no one but the person to whom it is rendered and those in charge need ever know about it,-one more democratic cus- tom that must and shall be preserved. ART LEACUE h BEAUTIFIES HUCHES Bubble, bubble! Sparkling water continually plays i11 the exquisite Boy and Dolphin Rookwood fountain, in the front hall. This is only one of the many objects of art and beauty that adorn Hughes-gifts of the Art League. Nor is beauty all that is provided. Besides performing the practical service of quenching thirst, this fountain is a boon to the practical joker. The goon'l with the perverted sense of humor places his finger over one of the spouts as an unsuspecting per- son drinks from the other. The angry sputtering that follows sends the trickstcr into gales of laughter. The Art League, since its very beginning, has been collect- ing paintings for the school. In selecting the pictures the League has made a point particularly of purchas- ing those by Cincinnati artists. Mr. Siehl supervises the collection of Art League funds by home room rep-, resentatives. - Page 13
