Likewise, Autumn finds M. H. S. and its student body in a period of change. Students old and new alike return to renew old friendships and to make new acquaintances. The rosters of every organization carry the names of new students, and on stage and gridiron specta- tors become acquainted with different faces. Autumn is a season of changes on the fighting fronts of the world. On every field of military activity M. H. S. grads are changing the mettle of things for Hitler and his crew of cut-throats. 'We at home this fall altered our own style of living to the more rigid requirements of wartime in health, education, and service.

Uar faculty Our Faculty Heads -Dolph Lain, C. R. Crakes, and Elof Peterson Welcomu 714 lack . . . 1'?06 01 Jeff? Q3 N' l . , Q9 E9 WX if M mf l Q. X ' F N Welcomed back to the confines of M. H. S. by our faculty, we found that wartime conditions had greatly altered the substance of our high school life. Courses designed to prepare us for aid to the war effort had been added to the curriculum, and other evidences of war were to be found in nearly every classroom. Not just a few of our city's school system have answered their nation's call to the colors, and all of the others are doing their duty on the home front. Several faculty members have as- sumed responsible positions on local commit- tees directly related to the national welfare. All of the faculty are to be congratulated for the patriotic manner in which they handled the tedious work of registration for the va- rious ration programs which have become a part of our daily life. Heading this fine faculty are Mr. Dolph Lain and Mr. Elof Peterson, who hold the offices of principal and assistant principal, respectively. F ormer-Principal C. R. Crakes now holds the office of Superintendent of Schools.
