to Our Administrators Waller E. Shade. Superintendent Harry A. Russell, Principal THE OPERATION OF OUR SCHOOL IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT. The main problem is that of attendance. Several seniors have taken half-day employment in the local offices to replace workers who have been called elsewhere. Some pupils have left school entirely to work in factories. The drafting of 18-year olds has made it necessary for a number of boys to register for military service, and several have already been called. The supply of teachers is being reduced as teachers are being absorbed into war work. Several times it has been impossible to obtain needed substitutes. The cost of school supplies has increased more than 30%. Due to gas rationing, extra-curricular activities have been curtailed. We have been able to maintain a complete football and basketball schedule only by playing near-by teams. THE COURSE OF STUDY IS BEING ADAPTED TO NEW DEMANDS. A new course in global geography has been set up for seniors. Seniors are also being given training in the Morse Code to prepare them for work in the field of war communication. Spanish has taken the place of French to place emphasis on a better understanding of our Central and South American neighbors. To meet the general trend toward fostering religious life and thought, a course in religious education is being offered to 4th grade pupils. IN SPITE OF THE GENERAL UNCERTAINTY. WE BELIEVE OUR SCHOOL HAS MAINTAINED ITS ENTHUSIASM AND WILL CARRY ON IN THE FACE OF DIFFICULTIES. Page Seven
