OU R HIGH SCHOOL - -.--f er' IN NAHONAL D:,?:.N:fL Most of us in high school are too young to stop school and enlist in the army or work in industry to relieve men for National Defense. However, we, as high school students, have an important role in winning the war and making peace. A war is won, especially the one in which we are now engaged, at home as well as by our armed forces. We students of high school should start a conservation program under which we should use paper more wisely, eat less candy, and above all, take care of the things which we now have' We have already started First Aid classes which I be lieve are everyone's duty to enter I think our Bible Study class may be playing its part in National Defense too Isn't it our duty to stay close to God through the trying days ahead? We must not think only of winning the war, but of the conditions which will exist afterwards lducation will be the most important weapon ln organizing the wo d after the chaos through which it will pass Therefore, lt is every boy's and g1r1's duty to do his best to receive an education Wilma Poland '43 b1'014.f,.v full fri DU:'x.rXflCN One of the big questions today is will sports be played for the duration of the war? Personally I think they should, not only because I like to play, but I think it would be a morale builder and would keep people's minds occupied so that they wouldn't worry about the things that are going on in the world today Baseball will be played this summer in the different leagues because the president has given the green light to go Many of the players will go into the service, but there are of stopping it is getting too few cash customers to pay the expenses of the club This summer there w'l1 be all star games played in the big leagues from which the profit will go to buy sport equipment for the armed forces These teams will also play service teams for exhibition games Football will be played ln the colleges this fall, and on their schedule there are games with service football teames Probably sports to a certain extent will be curtailed for the duration, but I hope they play as long as they possibly can. Besides taking up the cares of mind, sports also build strong bodies so that our soldiers will be toughest in the world, As one soldier h s sa1d,'You keep 'em playing, and we'll keep 'em flying W So good luck to sports Leland Dunham '42 O .
