Uggin for ncle Sam Possibly one of the gravest problems facing the country is the lack of doctors and trained nurses. This situation has vitally affected the home front. Because the high school was determined to aid in maintaining the home front, it was only natural that Miss Kuehl- thau's home nursing classes should take steps to help solve this problem. The girls enrolled in this class are instructed in the correct way to take care of sick in the home, thereby easing the demand for trained nurses. The special first aid classes conducted by Mr. Batho, Mr. Colby, Miss Jacobson, Mr. Caldwell, and Dr. P. M. Kauth are designed to meet the shortage of doctors and nurses should a serious emergency arise. Upon completing this course, the first-aiders will be qualified to administer first aid as prescribed by the Red Cross, thus relieving the demand for doctors on calls for minor cuts and bruises. Other students are maintaining the Home Front in a very direct way by supplying the personnel for regis- tering the people of West Bend for the various ration books, namely gasoline and food. The students have donated a total of three thousand six hundred four hours away from their studies in working for the ra- tioning board. Merit certificates have been awarded.

Dayton The West Bend Student Body is not only giving up time to the war effort, but is investing close to two hundred dollars a week in War Savings Bonds and Stamps. The war activities committee of the Student Senate is doing an excellent piece of work in co-ordi- nating the student body to the four point program. It is this committee that handles the Red Cross drives and the salvage campaigns within the school. Through activities in Home Nursing, Red Cross, Civilian Defense, and War Bonds and Stamps, West Bend High is aiding in the maintenance of a strong home front designed to permit every student to carry a part of the burden of the war. By the second semester the students at West Bend began to show even more enthusiasm for the war pro- gram. Seniors were looking forward to the time when they could serve their country in uniform, and most of those who foresaw eventual draft applied for and took the V-I2 examinations which would allow some to enter college as part of their training. By June many of the boys had taken their physical examinations and enlisted in the reserve corps to await the call to the colors. An indication of the enthusiasm with which the boys prepared themselves physically for their induc- tion was the physical education demonstration. One of the features of this exposition was the presentation of Caldwell's Commandos. Up and down ladders, over and under walls and obstacles, the lads swarmed with an endless display of energy and skill. This enthusiasm for the war program was not confined to the senior boys alone but pervaded the entire student body as evidenced by the response to the second war loan. One week the sale of bonds and stamps approached the one thousand dollar mark, and the students continued to 'bv lend more and more of their money to the gov- ernment as the drive progressed. indeed, by the end of the second semester the dividends of the war time schedule began to be realized, and West Bend was truly expending all of its energy for victory. Truly the entire school was plugging for Uncle Sam. Supervising Drafting -- Mr. Schuelke, R. Albinger, W. Jaeckels, R. Hetebrueg, B. Bremer Page Seven
