-ng The names of General Eisenhower and of General Douglas MacArthur may figure more prominently in the war news of the day than Davis High and its hard-worlv ing students. hut without the homefront support of the latter. our nation might be in a precarious situation today. Scrap drives and' newspaper collections may seem a mere drop in the bucket, but without supplies, no army could he victorious. Whether it was a question of buying bonds and stamps, or a matter of collecting bottles for Grasslands, Davis pitched in with the best of them. In the spring of l943, we raised 3255525 for the Davis Bomber Cam- paign. Elaine Wolf. who sold the most bonds and stamps, christened the PCS I3-88. and Les Cone, who sold the second highest amount. went along on the ships trial run. Davis girls. under the supervision of Miss Sherman. made duffle bags which were later completely equipped by Elaine NVolf's mother for the ship's crew. Art students made 2,200 Ghistmas menu covers for the Navy. lb W QA X .fr fx Z L i N! 5. Q- Xp ,- - 7 -t t i t ! LEST WE FORGET The paper drive. too. was a great success, 'lihe Vic- tory Corps took charge, and the l9.000 pounds of paper collected brought in Sl 1,-400. The amount was used to purchase a service flag for Davis. Our answer to Grass- lands Hospitals annual appeal for bottles was more than 800 bottles.

DAVISIKEEPS You may once have taken apart a Swiss watch and ob- served with amazement the precise accuracy of each part. The PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE, which is an ad- visory body for the school's publications+the Maroon and White. the Handbook, the Hi-News, etc-functions with the same pattern of efuciency. This committee, headed bv Miss Brower. consists of six or seven members with llTlNlIll4 JYIIUN tlloltonil N. litciour. Xl. lleicligott, J. fferchiara. .l. Weller. li.

INFORMED impartial interests. who consent to changes and approve policies suggested by the various publications. Service men are on the march. not on the held. but on a list posted in front of the office. The SERVICE MEN'S COMMITTEE. headed last term by Anne Liccione, and this term by Margaret Reichgott. collected the names of all men and women in the armed forces. The names are compiled alphabetically on Davis' Honor Roll. Each week a different member searches through newspapers and letters to Gnd more Davis alumni who are serving their country. XVe who are still in school cannot forget for a moment those who are fighting and sacrilicing their lives in the pursuit of freedom throughout the world. Someone once said that if Mohammed wouldn't go to the mountain. the mountain would come to him. XVell. Mount Vernon's boys and girls in service can't very well visit Davis at present, but Davis has found a way to drop in on each and every one of them. This miraculous feat is accomplished through the medium of the Hilltop's NEWS LETTER. an enlightening and entertaining paper published each month by Mrs. Bailey and a hard- working student committee. The News Letter contains all the well-known Davis Doin's as well as news about the boys and girls in the armed forces. Soldiers on leave visit Mrs. Bailey and commend the letter for the grand job it is doing in lifting the boys' morale. Through it. many friendships have been renewed. for it often lists the camp addresses of the fellows and girls. There's no place like home , it's true. but news about' home always brings that place close. And the Davis News Letter is doing just that-it is bringing Mount Ver- non into the heart of every hometown soldier, sailor, and marine.

Svince the theme this year, and the whole setup of the book. including the photograph on the cover, is entirely different. it was thought that you subscribers would enjoy the annual much more if it was a kind of surprise package. It is very probable that you may have seen any one of the workers racing about the school, trying to dig up info for club writeups, and you may later have seen him working furiously, in the 'crafts' room of 3l6. trying to beat a deadline. Also, during all this activity. you may have heard him mutter something to himself about Handsl Hands! What have they got to do with the Glee Club? ettc. This puzzling utterance. however. was doubtless clarified as you read the first few pages of the annual. and noticed that our theme was based on Hands- the ways in which they will contribute to a post-war society. You then realized that the poor unfortunate was attempting to connect the theme and his respective article. But. whether it was the tireless hands of the typists pre- paring copy. or the busy hands of our two faculty advisors, Miss Nourse and Mr. Doyle. or the active hands of the workers, your Maroon and VVhite Editorial Staff worked long hours to bring von a book despite wartime restrictions. We worked as a team, and our teamwork has provided gratifying results. FDITORIAI.

Unpublicized and unknown, he does his daily task, getting his only reward from his own satisfaction of perfection and a job well done. Such an organization is the MAROON AND WHITE BUSINESS BOARD. The only time you heard of it was probably when a beseeching plea for the dollar you owe or a quiet reprimand for your failure to show up at the photographers was issued. Yet. without this organization, your yearbook would fail. The business board is not a very large organization. Aside from the representatives in each home room. there is a regular staff of only five members. The duties of the staff are to keep all records of finances, and photograph appointments, handle the subscription money as it comes in from the rooms, see that the books are delivered to you at the end of the year, and then sit back complacently in the knowledge of a task well done. Through hard work and careful managing, the yearbook has not been in the red for several years. Any profit is set aside for the time when the cost is more than the capital. This is one of the best organized groups in the school and serves as an excellent example of what can be accomplished by members of the student body. IDENTIFICATION--fllpper Leftl Row l. G. Relkin.
