ny: wygvwvl Q OUR SCHOOL AT WAR HE year of I943. The NaTion aT War. We Think of War as a series of dramaTic acTions. a medley of screeching shells, The 400-mile-an-hour swoop of The dive bomber, The roaring advance of Tanks, The dash of The desTroyer, The Thundering broadside oT The baTTleship-and greaT shells sTriking Their TargeT, TwenTy miles away. BuT back of all This, sTreTches a supply line of workers and maTerials-men and women in TacTories, blood donors. Red Cross workers, airplane spoTTers, war bond sellers, paTienT siTTers aT communicaTion cenTers. and Tenders oT vicTory gardens. The machine gun, The riveTing gun, and The spray gun are all working aT The same job. ln America's all ouT war, O. H. S. is playing iTs loyal parT. EighT of our Teachers are in service. Some l50O of our boys are wearing The uniforms of The various armed Torces, and are TighTing on every TronT. The pupils of our undergraduaTe group are vying wiTh each oTher in civilian service--in making possible The mainTenance of a Ten-million army in The baTTle TronTs oT The world. Besides Their eTTorT To aTTain physical TiTness and mechanical proficiency Tor possible war acTiviTy, They are buying War STamps and Bonds, manning observaTion posTs, acTing as air wardens, building model-airplanes Tor idenTiTicaTion purposes aT aviaTion schools, rolling bandages, col- lecTing scrap and Tending VicTory Gardens . ln our zeal Tor The war eTTorT , however, we are noT TorgeTTing The needs of The posT war period and The reTurn oT peace. Our English and our social science classes, our sTudenT organizaTions, such as We, The STudenTs , are sTriving To insTill a world consciousness and a world mindedness inTo The minds oT our youTh. as a necessary prerequisiTe To This new era. We musT sense The need of greaTer uniTy, wiThin our naTion: we musT conTinue wiTh uniTy among The UniTed NaTionsg we musT look forward To uniTy among all The peoples oT The world. The O. H.
