A. R. in the East for war purposes; a scrapbook of all war activities sponsored by the high school was made by Shirley Doyle, and sent to the state legislature as part of an exhibit of the defense and war work of the Sheridan schools; an air raid drill was conducted by the Defense Council on December 9; the faculty served as instructors of the classes for the girls while the boys were in the beet fields and as supervisors and registrars during the mileage rationing last fall and of Ration Book Two this spring. These courses have been added during the year at the special request of the government: Service Mathematics, a semester course; Commando Physical Education classes for the boys; Pre-flight Training; Electric Arc Welding and Machine Shop work; Red Cross Home Nursing class held at the city hall for high school girls.
