The War Has Brought Problems Mr. Clouse. Mr. Werth. Mr. Shade. Mr. Holliday. Mr. Miller. Mr. Foote Board of Education C. A. Miller, President John Clouse William Foote, Vice-President Harley Werth C. F. Holliday, Clerk DUE TO THE WAR, OUR SCHOOL IS PERFORMING MANY EXTRA TASKS. The sale of stamps and bonds is being pushed. War stamps are sold in the office to students, with an average sales of $50 each week. The faculty has adopted the pay-roll plan of buying bonds. Students have participated in the drives for scrap iron, tin, nylon and silk hose, and books for soldiers. In addition to the mountain of iron that we had piled in the front yard, many tons were collected and sold directly to dealers. Over two tons of tin have been brought in, 2,000 pairs of stockings, and about 400 books. Much assistance was rendered in these collections by Mr. Gustin, our general handy man, Mr. Tewell, the local chairman, and the Junior Commandos under the leadership of Mr. Brown. Our faculty assumed its responsibility in the rationing of sugar, gasoline and fuel oil, and in the distribution of No. 2 food ration books. The school plant is in constant use at night for first aid classes, nutrition classes, meetings of Air Raid Wardens, drilling of Air Raid Messengers and Defense Police, and for other war activities.
