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.

X 9' I H gg? 13 1 r --f - 24 ln time of war. our country desperately needs all the resources for good which we have-our money. our time. our intelligence and abilities. And so that we may give freely of all these possessions. we need sound bodies. A person in the armed services depends upon his physical health to see him through the hardships and perils of modern warfare. The worker in war industry needs to be in the best physical condition to labor the long hours which he dedicates to the common effort. In these tumultuous times in which we live, we have a great responsibility to keep our bodies well and strong, prepared for any task which we may be called upon to perform for our country. We realize that we, and all Americans, must be tough to win.
