A BY- In this most historic year of our country. in which world shak- ing events have taken place and in which even more momentous happenings will occur, it is desirable that some permanent rec- ord be left of the contribution in the war by our high schools. This is the undertaking for which the Omega has been desig- nated-to show Ann Arbor High School at war. The wartime duty of the schools is to train future citizens in four ways: to teach them manual skills of pressing importance in winning the war and of practical value in days to come: to develop them physically to the point of greatest possible effi- ciency: to provide the wholesome influences which build morale: and to pn-p:n'v tha-in ina-nmlly 1-ii luluii- olilugnlifms.

WE 3 'S' xx Q f l H61 ,4 15527515 isa? . ,HQ lll'f ln' X K -it X .Sr t w WUHE FUR VICTUHY Some of us have become disconteuted. impatient with doing nothing directly connected with the wur efifort. Some have seen it their duty to leave school to enter industry and have put off their education entirely until the war is won. Others have kept at their studies, working long hours outside of school as well. War work. or non-essential industry that relieves an older person for war work, has called many of us. In school. we have been preparing for future employment in the essential industries and for entrance into the armed forces after graduation. Some have devoted much of their time to voluntary contributions to the war effort. We students have tried hard to interpret our part in this war, and to understand what sacrifice we can make which will best help our country. To many of us, work has been the answer.
