H711 is wk 1 HROUGHOUT our nation, the schools have necessary to a rich, full life, while stressing temporarily curtailed cultural subjects, vocational subjects necessary to winning this war that we may have the freedom so vital to a life worth living. Our American schools are the pin in the hand grenade of the war effort, and American students have the power to pull that pin. Our school, during this period of war, not only provided instruction in the ways of democracy and the means of preserving it, but also rendered serv- ices which are essential to a total war effort. This is true for the registration services conducted by the school and for the rationing of commodities by the Gffice of Price Administration. Upon the recommendation of the VVar Board, the Board of Regents requested that the departments of physical education and athletics give a physical conditioning, non-credit course conforming to Army and Navy requirements. Our school conformed to this requeSt without hesitation. Seventh and Eighth grade stu- dents produced model aircraft projects. Since there is no regular geography class in the schedule, the Rotary International speakers aided the students immensely in international fields. Many of our teachers have left for armed forces, war work and war industry, those at home took up the extra load. Wfartime activities during school hours-stimulat- ing war bond and stamp sales, salvage drives, Red Cross drive, which totaled 317422, shop classes repairing non-obtainable home devices free-of- charge, American History students kept up with the news by listening to Boake Carter and Sidney Mosbley broadcasts, a new subject, aeronautics, was added, and journalism students furnished many wartime editorials and news items. The other aspects in education related the changing of the curriculum for post war needs. The school can be depended upon to contribute services through the use of its personnel and equipment for the promo- tion of a total-war effort. These war contribution and sacrifices may seem slight, but the combined effort of 31,000,000 teachers and students who constitute the schools of our country is a force of enormous power. The part students play is necessary and great. This is the group of our total population that constitute the hope of America tomorrow. Not only will students help win the war but they will undertake the responsibilty of constructing a new and better world. 3 Wir Q iililti ig A . J Mus? 1. ' 4. tj7Qg.4g,5q,. .35 , -M... . .aj , ,L

l., T ,Q ANNUAL STAFF Publishing a newspaper during war and using material to alleviate the cares of those readers engrossed in this conflict was a duty which fell to the journalism class, taught by Miss Gertrude Kirtland, who experienced her tenth year as B. H. S. Life sponsor. Page editors were appointed in September and have changed during the year: These editors as- signed material to reporters and outlined their page dummies which served as patterns for the make-up man at the Daily Call, printers of each issue. The first month of school was spent in acquainting students with leads, news coverage, editorials, and news, sports, and feature stories. The first issue rolled from the press, Sept. 29. Writing faults were detected, and were amended accordingly in following issues at two weeks inter- vals. Six issues were rinted the first semester i-1 ..- Particular stress was placed on the war effort with stories on war bonds and stamps, scrap drives, tire, gas, shoe and food rationing, model plane building, defense trades, paper campaign, physical fitness, taxes, and the armed forces. Several scoops were spied and printed. On two occasions when all copy was at the printer and being set up, a Troyite was shot in a hunting accident. Athletics cavorted on the fourth page-football, basketball, and track. The Beloit Regional Basketball Tournament cap- tured page 1 prominence. After a heated senior class meeting, the jour- nalism class accepted the duty of editing the 1943 Trojan. Work formally began on Feb. 22, and each class member crammed all spare time towards year- book production for the remainder of the semester. Faced with a time shortage, they pulled into a stretch with this twenty-two page Trojan-a book written and printed for everybody's enjoyment. p .... four 15 in. by 10 in. pages in each, except the initial publication which had a two-page insert. Nearly every. issue had a Scholastic Roto insert which was edited by the National Scholastic Press Association. weak 3 lacy ' we 1 geo wwe wfgo naw ,A W' ov., 90 5960 aoxbto ' . 1'8- gtoqqexws 5939600 6v,a'f1X5l1q.a'XX9 Y we 02602 NWS -We 050 'S-W twb- qu?
