To have ll better understanding of the problems of th l ' A I C Pcilpc H1 IIII walks of life is one of the foundamental aims in education. The shop course makes .1 contribution to this because it shows the young student vividly the problems that con- front the large number in our population who perform manual work. This experience makes it much easier for our future citivens to sympathize with this group. Irrespective of the occupation the students will enter in later years.

The Board of liducation has secured two twelve inch wood turning lathes, one twenty-four inch band saw, twenty-four inch jig saw, a six inch iointer, and a five- ten inch table saw. XVith the shop equipped with this fine machinery the students of the class, with the very capable instructions of Mr. Huffmon were able to construct such fine articles as: writing desks. all kinds and designs of smok- ing stands, a dressing table, some very unique table lamps. a large number of hurdles for the track team, and built their own paint room in the corner of the shop. To say nothing of the other small articles of crafty workmanship. fDon Iichler HOME ECONOMICS Problems of home life are being discussed informally -Virginia Cole DICK PRESSLER AT THE MIKE Many public speakers hivt gained tl ' in a laboratory period. . . .

JOHN C. RUNDELL, President Theater Manager DR. L. H. LOGI-IRY, Vice-Pres. Osteopathic Physician GUARDIANS OF THE FOUR FREEDOMS By IRIS FRENCH On all sides, in every field of endeavor, people have had to take upon themselves more work and responsibilities because of the war. These live men, each in his own profession, perform their tasks, ministering to the needs and desires of their fellowmen. They have little time to call their own. Therefore, it is even more to their credit now than formerly, that they have accepted the added burden of guiding the educational institutions through this time of stress. Education must go forward! Now particular- 1. JU DR. E. A. BECHTOL Retired Physician ly should it be promoted when precision work is so necessary. Peace time needs must be filled as well as the intensified needs caused by the world Wide crisis. Military training was provided in accordance with the government rulings, as was the program for penny milk for all students to partake of. The School Board is deserving of much praise as they have provided many advantages for school youths. Not only do they hold the part of Knowl- edge but they now light the stepping stones to victory. They have accepted their challenge! DR. GILBERT C. ELY Dentist Railroad Clerk CECIL PROSSPR ffllcrkj Page 14 '

Planned and supervised economy is ev- ident on and in every situation that con- fronts an individual today. The success- ful completion of the war program will depend on the continued cooperation of all in the giving of themselves and their means to the limit. The war is an econ- omic struggle and sound principles will guide the wise to a justifiable victory. SUPT. H. M. SHAEFFIER HANDWRITING UPON THE UNIVERSAL SKY Education as usual like business as usual is on a side track for at least the duration. . The schools are expected to and should direct the pupils in educational lines which will give them training that will be of greatest immediate value in winning this war. It is essential that pre-inducton courses be emphasized, commando courses constructed and used, military drill be properly directed and such other specific training as will pre- pare them for the task at hand. The above changes will best be accomplished when the pupils have been shown the reasons for such needed changes and taught to know and realize the necessity for preserv- ing and protecting our way of life. This second objective can easily be accomplished by having pupil participation in the necessary projects to be carried on in every community. There are such tasks and duties as the selling of war stamps and bonds, the collection of scrap iron, tin cans, fats and greases, silk hose and books and magazines. Civilian defense, a most essential job, will also occupy the time and attention of many pupils. Serving the community in a multitude of ways is the prime objective of every loyal citizen. Therefore, the school has become a distribution point in the many ration activities that have been inaugurated. In this work teachers, pupils and citizens generally have participated. This has been beneficial in bringing a solidarity of effort, purpose and morale, that in the end can and will bring victory to and for our men in the service. Page 16
