I haven't missed one yet. - This is generally the sort of conversation you hear often the seventh hour in front of the library on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, On these certain days small groups of girls gather in the Library to have their club meeting and plan what is to be done all term. So far, we have planned a Wiener roast, hay-ride, and party. We also devote part of our time to reading books.

L' f'- il 1 , ' 01. X' Cfldufeuff Wi ' ' f ,.,iu-- 196: Ai . DEUTSCI-IER VEREIN INGRID LEWIS The echoing words of O Tannenbaumm, or other German songs, proceed from Room 115 every Tuesday afternoon. What club can that be, you ask? Why, it is the Deutscher Verein, of course, organized for beginners in German. This club helps us get a better understanding of the spoken language and gives us a chance to express ourselves. We also play games and give a point to the winner for the fun of seeing who can win the most points by the end of the term. Our sponsor, Miss Fuhlhage. has made our club possible and provided us with all necessities so that all may have a good time. We feel sure if you join you will never regret it. So, how about thinking it over?

CGJMCQU5 l 1 BALSA BUGS RUSSELL COREY AIRPOWER IN TIMES OF WAR Never before in history has airpower played such an important part. The very essence of our freedom today lies in our ability to build better aircraft than our enemies. This second world conflict is a much more mechanized war than the first of its kind. A nation at war has particular reason to stress this vital factor. We as a people can't build safely on false foundations, or our liberty and land of opportunity will fall before our very eyes. For this particular reason, we must train men to excel in the art of flying. and building of superior aircraft. The specific unity which exists between man and his cultivated machines of war, also depend upon his future. Back in the years following the first World War, military leaders were befogged in misconceptions as to the importance of air supremacy. Today we are informed that victory or defeat hangs in the balance. Victory if we can out-shoot and out-Hy the enemy, defeat if the enemy out-shoots and out-flys us. This problem deserves ample consideration by everyone who is interested in the future of their homeland. To get better acquainted with some of these facts, come to Room 110 and visit the Balsa Bugs. Their meetings are held every Wednesday at 3:10 p. m. after school. A Sponsor Miss Sullivan One Hundred Ninereen
