Baldwin Doe Marching side by side in the war effort with high school students all over the nation are Baldwin students. All through this book you see them giving service-service to their country in time of need, service to their community, to their school, and to each other. The Baldwin Defense Council is our central war service organizationg and it works, not for glory, but for school and nation. Among its many fine projects are the selection and training of air raid and fire wardens for each classg the management of air raid drills, the shatterproof- ing of basement windowsg and the scrap metal drive. As Mr. Toothaclcer alternately pumps and puffs at his sirens, the students file down to the basement and gather in their appointed places along the corridors. There they wait while fer- tile imaginations hear enemy planes droning overhead. The Victory Book Drive at Baldwin, spon- sored by Congress, collected reading matter for men in the armed forces. Two homerooms rounded up over 800 books apiece, and one patriotic girl brought in 325 of these, The V- Book honor roll in homerooms, prizes, and skits in assembly made this one of the most successful campaigns ever carried on here, homeroom 115 winning. Money couldn't buy a ticket to the Scrap Scramble. Those who thronged the gym floor that Friday night got in by bringing five pounds Top: You can't see it, but it's really there!
