It was with a sense of anticipation that we all came trooping down East Water Street that Tuesday in September with a sincere desire to settle down to classes and to make this year our hest yet.

ENTERED INTC CUE NEW HE fall weather was still warm and inviting, so we had some difhculty staying indoors for a while. There was always a gath- ering on the lawn during the noon hour. We scuffled a little, played pitch and catch occasionally, made some new acquaintances, and exchanged the summer's accumulation of news with last year's fel- low classmates.

Almost before the doors were unlocked, the G. R. bookstore was open for business. We signed up for classes and got acquainted with our new teachers. Our lockers, according to custom, were in a different corridor from last year, so we located them also. Class work soon began, and another year of school was under way. Upper pictures, left to right: Girl Reserves Frances Davis, Nell Jean Maxwell, and Jean Hilfiker sell books to customers Marvin Bentz, Dorothy Kantner, and Janet Beard . . . Jeanne Wrightsman, Jimmy Saxman, Patty Overla, Margaret Bellis, and Bob North inspect their new text books. Lower pictures, left to right: David Myers, Bob Jackson, Kermit Shaneyfelt, Bob Myers, and Dale Hummer find their new lockers after the drawing has been made .... As there were several changes in the faculty this year, Harold Brubaker, Principal, and Mrs. Helen Stevenson, Typhoon Sponsor, discuss faculty pictures for the yearbook with new teachers Harold Wallace, Wallace Fields, and T.

Assignments were long and club activities were many, but we managed to plan our day so that we had time for play as well as work. Although fall pressed on toward cooler weather, the lawn was still a favorite placeg and back of the build- ing, cars of all shapes and descriptions were parked, ready to take us away as soon as 3 145 came.

Mathematics, mechanical drawing, and science classes were crowd- ed. Civics and history students were alert to the progress of the war and discussed problems ofthe future-compulsory military education, our relationship with Russia, and world politics. Physical fitness continued to be important, and health and safety classes taught us the good care of the body and wholesome health habits.

TCD TI-IE WAR BUT ADAPTABLE TCD PEACE UT in the tense days of war, the requirements of living in a peaceful world were not forgotten. Always looking forward to a better world, sociology and civics classes stressed good citizenship and tolerance toward all races and creeds. Literature, music, and art classes endeavored to develop our appreciation of the good and beautiful in life, and the entire school program included the essentials of the well-rounded training which a really educated person in our complex life must have.

AGAIN this year the Girl Reserve or ganization sponsored the sale of War Bonds and Stamps The Bond Commit tee was composed of Marie Brady Joan Orr Ann Smith Mary Jane Miles Joan Goff Phyllis Markley and Dorothv Kantner with Joanna Wrightsman Chairman and Ruthanna Kantner As sistant Chairman Sales were handled cxery Tuesday and Thursday mornings under the supervision of Girl Reserve Sponsor Mrs Bernice Gibble When the September issue of the Schools at War Magazine came out with tive to purchase a piece of Army or Navy equipment and put the name of the school nd the equipment purchased on a plaque and to qualify to Hy the Schools at War Flag by having 90 f the students buying at least one ten cent war stamp a month the Bond Commit tee heartily agreed that this was the plan they wanted to try On October 2 1944 a skit which of ficially opened the War Bond and Stamp Sales drive was presented by the Bond Committee to the student body On October 18 another skit was given to encourage sales The 90 goal was reached for October and we were qual ifed to fly the coveted Schools-at-War Flag. To encourage the November sales The Story of Bataan a condensed ver- sion of the play of that name was given before the school on November 8. On November 13 Orien Holsapple County Chairman of Bond Sales presented the high school with our Schools-at-War Flag and Harold Brubaker Principal accepted the flag on behalf of the stu- dent body. After the presentation the students gathered on the steps and lawn to witness the raising of the flag. In exactly one month we had purchased ' jeep which costs S1165 and had qual- ified to fly the Schools-at-War Flag. Having completed oui campaign to purchase a Jeep we turned next to a feld ambulance which costs S1950 By 1 ecember 11 we had finished this cam paign thus making two plaques in the srow case in Mr Brubaker s ofiice So successful was the progress to maid our goal that Superintendent D S Weller asked the Bond Committee to appear before the other three schools in the city to tell them how they too might fiy the Schools at War Flag and earn a plaque by purchasing a piece oi Army or Navy equipment As an opening for our next campaign the Bond Committee secured a mox ie Target for Today which was shown before the student body on December 1.3 This campaign to purchase a liaison plane costing 253 000 which was intended to last until the end of March was com pleted by February 6 1945 There were now three plaques in the ofiice show case This time the Bond Committee was de termined to make the goal high enough that it would mean real work to reach t A weasel a desperately needed piece of equipment costing S4815 was to be our 1 ext piece of equipment A we go to press this quota is well on the way toward being subscribed. The total sales for each month in- creased steadily. October sales had been 8968.10 and November sales totaled 81163.50 Despite the fact that Christ- mas vacation came in December, sales increased to S174595. During January total sales amounted to 32145.30 and February -ales hit an all time high with 33576.00 For fixe months in suc- cession we had qualified to fly our Schools-at-War Flag. That record and the record of hat ing sold a total of 89598.80 from October until March rrakes the Bond Committee xery proud of P. H. S. 'md xery much gratified that tl'-e students are supporting the war ef- fort so whole-heartedly. I-IANDLED BV G. P., WAS PRAISEWOIQTI-IV . Q ' lx v l l '- 1 I ' - , 1 , .
