Fuel for the Home Fires HU E EUUNUMIUS Particularly noticeable this year have been the well-dressed girls fre- quenting the clothing classes and the delicious odors emanating from the foods laboratory, but not much has been said about the work of the classes which bring about such conditions. Students of clothing learn how to sew any stitch existing and are given tips on how to dress well on a limited budget. The girls work on various projects during the year to improve their abilities. The cooking classes learn how to prepare and to serve nutritious, well-balanced meals. It is not unusual to see boys in these classes as well as girls flearning the culinary arts as a pre-induction adaptation to K. P.?j. Both cooking and sewing classes give worthwhile preparation for war- time's rationed living. STUDENT UUUNCIL UFFIIEHS FRANK ROSS MARY CLAIRE UPTHEGROVE JOSEPH LAIRD

Ross ST UE T EUU EIL As usual, this year's Student Council proved an effective example of sound student government. Under the direction of Frank Ross, president, Joe Laird, vice-president, and Mary Claire Upthegrove, secretary, the Council efficiently administered its traditional duties with fitting pomp and circumstance. Q See page 21.j Particularly important this year was the Council's work in various school activities. Its responsibities included handling of the scrap drive, stamp sales, and maintenance of order in an institution accelerated by war. The last weeks of the year were devoted to the election of officers to take up the government next year. Gray hairs will be popular in the fall, we predict. SCRAP 'EMM 'flappy happy to die for emperor, Make ,Iappy happy. During the last two weeks in October, 1942, Ann Arbor High students, along with boys and girls of other local public schools, hit the road and gathered all the available scrap around Ann Arbor and vicinity. Hose, shoes, radi- ators, piping, old stoves, and a windmill were among the articles gathered from basements, garages, and yards. These enthusiastic students hurried around in teachers' cars or Boy Scout trucks and even tramped afoot. With the help of stimulating posters hung about the building and a huge thermometer in the main corridor, the high school collection exceeded fifty tons. The drive was con- ducted under the efficient direction of Miss Frances Seeley.
