A Student's War Activities Although the cartoon on this page may seem only a cartoon, it is symbolic of the high school stu- dent in the war effort. The students of the high school have a finger in almost everything that per- tains to the war and its host of salvage drives along with anything else that the war entails. Because these activities have occupied the major portion of student life, the following pages have been devoted to a pictorial and printed record of these unusual times. The camera has caught the students going about their war-time duties at school. For a more detailed survey of student war conduct, stories flavored with themes of present-day interest accompany the pictures. Since the days in which this CLARTON is being assembled and published occupy such a critical period in our history, we are presenting it in such a manner that you will be able to refer to it in future years and relive the days of this era. You will be able to appreciate how the stress of the times af- fected the course of your high school life. The rapid changes which result from war have made it difficult to set a definite pattern and follow it religiously. Fellows have been leaving school regu- larly and entering the armed forces. Teachers have been accepting outside positions, and the civilian de- mands on the school appeared at regular intervals. All of these factors have contributed to a sort of chaos which has demanded a flexible policy on the part of our publication. ln offering you the 1943 edition of the CLARION we have tried to depict faithfully the atmosphere which surrounds a school at war. Representative of the many students who faithfully purchased bonds and stamps are lim Kluge and Marie Pelczynski, who are buying stamps from Florence loecks and Miss Locksmith. Page 6 Hx 1 l T 0 T?

In recognition of its effort the government has awarded the school a minute man flag. This flag was formerly awarded only to war production plants which had increased their pur- chase of bonds to a total of 90511, of their workers each week. That we have been honored with this presen- tation is indeed an honor of which we can be duly proud. This is just one example of the spirit dis- played here at school by everyone. Teachers as well as students have accepted the challenge which has been thrust at us and have performed admirably. From what has been done no one can doubt that the high schools of the nation are an important factor in the successful prose- cution of the war effort. This year was just a start and next year with the experimental stage over even greater success can be expected. Each student volunteered immediately when any duty was suggested. The number of stu- dents who became vitally interested in first aid and in civilian defense increased rapidly as the year progressed. Bond and stamp drives netted the school a visit from a jeep. Miss Lila Locksmith, Uncle Sam's representative in Appleton High School, was the first to ride in the jeep. The conversion of all the activities of the school both curricular and extra-curricular was immediate and complete.
