School Boar Many new innovations for the school year of '41-'42 were introduced to the Asso- ciated Students by the Auburn School Board. Cooperating with Mr. Towne and Mr. Hicklin, this group assumed many responsibilities to better the conditions of Auburn High. The biggest accomplishment was the Urejuvenatedn field and the construction of a modern grandstand. Together with the lighting facilities, installed through the efforts of the various civic organizations led by the Sportsmans Club, our field be- came one of the best in the conference. Other projects were: courses in metal work to benefit graduating seniors: the or- ganization of a Defense Council to create stamp sales, first aid classes, and student air raid committees: the supply of materials for the government program of model air- plane construction: new lights in the auditorium: equipment of every description: formation of an intramural program: and planned Federal School Lunches. To Mrs. Heritage, Mssrs. Tonstad, Gustaves, Sonneman, and Bull, we extend the thanks of an appreciative student body.

S up eri n ten clentis hi Cssaivc' K7 This year has been an eventful one for all of us. The attack on Pearl Harbor swept our country into the world conflagration which will test to the utmost our strength and char- acter as a nation. Our schools and education have a vital part to play in this struggle. The school life of every student must become more purposeful and effective than ever before. Let us strive daily to be good, in- telligent American citizens worthy of our precious heritage of freedom. Arthur H. Towne. ,lD1'lllClIDZll hflessage School life in times such as we are now passing through is perhaps different than the school life we have been accustomed to in years past. School life is preparation for life, and as such it changes due to the fact that life is changing. Students who best prepare for life are those who make the best possible use of their time in school. We wish most sincerely that the seniors' time spent in this high school has been devoted by them in such a manner as to stand them in good stead for the trying days ahead. We wish to remind those remaining that your school life is determined by yourself. You are advised to make this life thorough. that you, when your commencement day arrives are able to represent yourself and your school with the same creditable man- ner that those who preceed you have done. W. C. Hicklin.
