Page Twenty-two The Bugle Blows Standing in the front ranks of those who are doing their part are the boys whose choice it is to volunteer to tight for Uncle Sam. These are the ones who are prepared to pay the supreme sacrifice. Our prayers go with. all the men of the armed forces and more especially with those who were our classmates dur- ing a part of this school year. Among the four who have volunteered is Marvin Oothoudt. He is attending the government radio school at Indianapolis, In- diana. Already a second class man, Marvin expects to see active duty soon. No one in Minot High has forgotten James 'Happy Boy' Can- non. In his new role as a private: in..Uncle Sam's army, Jimmy looks like the typical American dolghboy. His place is in the mountain artillery. Dick Christiansen is continuing his training far from his Alma Mater. In Detnaitgailichigan, he attends a radio school as an apprentice seamen. When his training period is over, he will be a full-fledged.-bluejacket. Again we go to seag perhaps we should say under the sea. Edgar Shields, second class seaman, is one of the brave sailors who has volunteered for submarine duty. I-Ie is now stationed in the Canal Zone, working with the under-water keys that guard the vital locks of the Panama Canal.

The WOm8l'l,S Place These girls are learning the basics of sewing in Homemaking I class. Needles and pins are handy tools for young misses today. Right now they seem to be having a ripping time of it. In Home Ec II class cooking is a major project. Nutrition and economy are points stressed in each meal. There are no 'hidden hunger' worries when vitamins are made quick and easy by four such helping hands. For noon lunches these ladies serve Grade A-and piping hot-hot dishes daily. This free lunch is especially yummy on those cold wintry days when half of Minot High is sta- tioned in the cafeteria during noon hour. Lorraine Comeford, I-Iomemaking Club president, outlined some mighty fine Red Cross projects for the club. By knit- ting and sewing, the girls ravelled off a neat bit of handy- work for the local chapter. Food and fun in the school cafeteria. Beaming faces and full tummies tell the story of a snowbound noon hour. Many 'long-walk' students eat here daily, so a happy atmosphere is essential. We refer you to Miss Grytness for particulars.

Red Cross Council Following in the well chosen footsteps of many other city high schools, Minot Senior High has become a member of the National Junior Red Cross. The goal of this group is Service, and toward that goal the members have been working since December, 1941. Miss Fredericks, who is a representative from the Red Cross Offices in St. Louis, came to Minot to assist in organization and registration. With the help of Principal Colton, she worked out a system of home room Red Cross Chapters. From each of these came one dollar in dues and a member of the Red Cross Council, both of which were used to get the program of service underway. Once started this group has made real progress. By knitting. sewing, and administer- ing First Aid instruction they have accomplished the things set up. Many now have First Aid certificates which speak plainly for their work and effort.
