TAFT TRIB PRESENTS Mr. Mitchell Mr. Daniel Mitchell is one of the most all-round teachers at Taft. He is very familiar to the students who take Civics, History, or Com- mercial Geography, those being a few of the subjects he can teach. He was educated in Illinois and received his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from the Uni- versity of Illinois. Mr. Mitchell has been at Taft since it opened having previously taught at the Mayfair Branch of Roosevelt High school. He likes Taft and declares the students who attend the school are fortunate indeed. A pet peeve is something I don't have, stated Mr. Mitchell, who claims he likes all students pro- viding they behave themselves. Mr. Mitchell's hobby is the study of money and politics. He has written a book called, All Is Not Gold. This book helps its reader to gain a better understanding of geography as well as explaining the operation of money. The object of Mr. Mitchell's book is to create a fundamental under- standing of money which is of great importance in these critical days. . fn- .7 - ...l . . ART Bus passenger: Hey driver!

Youth Congress On February 11, 1944 Lois John- son and Don Chapman represented the Taft Student Council at the Chicago Youth Congress. The pur- pose of the Congress is to effec- tively prevent Juvenile Delinquen- cy and the conditions contributing to this national problem. Each high school, both parochial and public, was represented by two students. The meeting was held in the City Hall Council Chambers. Mayor Ed- ward J. Kelly gave an interesting address. Jean Tracy and Lois Johnson attended the March 3 meeting where this five point program was proposed: 1. We will exert our efforts to have high schools, elementary schools, and other public building remain open several evenings a week to provide places where young people can hold meetings, engage in athletics, dancing, and other activities. 2. We will endeavor to aid in the opening of additional youth centers throughout the city and country. which will protect and help youth. 4. We will continue to pulverize in every way possible the evil con- ditions which are contributing to youths problems and do our ut- most to arouse public opinion to a point where these conditions shall be eliminated. 5. We should endeavor to make the Chicago Youth Congress the basis for the organization of a national movement, with units in every large city throughout Amer- lca. Learn How Not To Be Walylowers We have all been to a dance at one time or another and we have seen the so called wallflower, a bedraggled creature, who comes to dance but does everything but dance. She is never asked to dance more than once. Many here at Taft have had the same trouble but have been cured. Every Friday night we are given the opportunity of enjoying our- selves. If we cannot dance we are permitted to avail ourselves of the best professional instruction free of charge. There are classes for those of us wllo would like to dance but do not know how or are a trifle rusty on the routine. After a few of these class lessons we feel as thoufzh we could get out there with the professionals. l-et's all learn how to dance and have a lot of fun-shall we? Re- member-here at Taft, every Fri- day night, from 7:30 to 8:30 fm. m. Berquist's Division Leads Bond Sales The divisions that were the highest in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps are as follows: Miss Berquist, Miss Fink, Mr. Osbon, Mrs. Mc- Convllle, Mr. C. E. Johnson, Miss Klug, Miss Carleton, Miss Unseth, Miss Paulson, and Miss Beaver. These divisions will submit names for the Pursuit Ship Taft bought through the purchase of War Bonds.

Councik Introducing the Safety The Safety Council of Taft High School is an active organization. l meets every day 8th per. in the Taft Tribune Office. The Council is open to suitable students in school, particularly those wllo have no difficulty in passing their subjects. The Council has been responsible in the past for the registl'ation of students for lunch room tables and is now con- cerning itself with other matters of safety throughout the school. It is responsible for the installation of additional mirrors in the girls wash rooms and is sponsoring the supplying of soap in both the girls and boys wash rooms. If any ideas regarding the im- provement of safe conditions in the school occur to any member of the student body or faculty the Coun- unior Girl Oflicers Charlene Schmolt Vivian Winkutes Barbara Whittier lean Love ' 1 cil would appreciate these sugges- tions. Please send fhese ideas to the Safety Council in care of Mr. H. Miller. Every Bit Counts Listen in all you Taftites! Gather all the waste paper you possibly can for the Paper Drive spon- sored by our Clean-Up Committee. Our goal is 10,000 lbs. wllich means 5 lb. per person. Bring yollr paper to the Northeast end of the school and if you can't cllug 50 lbs along, please notify Mr. Clarence Fullmer or Mrs. Marion Lukens and the pa- per will be called for. Remember the day is April 5. The committee is confident of achieving tlleir goal, and wishes to thank the students for their coijpe- ration in past drives.

His other activi- ties include Captain in the ROTC, stage manager, and member of the Rifle Team. Although he couldn't think of any particular pet peeve, he said with a grin, I don't like people who talk about things I don't know anything about. Ed is a loyal member of the ROTC and so his golden advice to Taftites is: Don't forget to attend the Military Ball which will be held at the Knickerbocker Hotel in April.
