BUTLER HIGH IN THE IVIHHCH TCD VICTORY No sooner did the State Superintendent of Public Instruction make the following announcement, It is imperative that every high school IMMEDIATELY mobilize its forces so that its educational program may serve the war effort to the maximum degree. It is essential that the mental, and physical potentialities, the emotional stability, the spiritual understanding, the democratic habits of living be considered from the standpoint of each boy and girl. than Butler High School immediately accepted the challenge and set about revamping its program in keeping with the above request, Each boy and girl, in the eleventh and twelfth grades was given a thorough physical and medical examination. Wherever defects were apparent, they were remedied, in so far as possible, by means of medical attention or the well developed physical fitness program which was instituted. Along with the medical and physical examinations, a battery of intelligence and educational tests was given with the idea of determining the ability of each student and the field in which that ability lay. Progress tests were given from time to time to determine the rate at which the students were working. As a result of these tests, Refresher Courses in Mathematics, Science and definite courses in Commerce were arranged. A War-Cabinet made up of representatives from each of the classes and the Deans of the school was organized and in each class a War-Council was set up to direct the activities sponsored by the War-Cabinet, e. g., Bond Sales, Scrap Drives, etc. Miss Vera Houck, of the Senior Class was chosen as Miss Butler to lead in the activities under- taken by the school. We realized that we were face to face with a critical situation in our Nation and were eager to do what we could. No one would want to do less. Students were encouraged to take the various examinations sponsored by the Federal Government for boys desiring advancement in the Army or Navy or for girls wishing to work in clerical positions for the government. It is with a feeling of pride that we look over the year's accomplishments and with a sense of duty and obligation that we plan for the days that are ahead. The students and faculty of Butler High School have been and will continue on the alert to carry forward any program that will advance the war effort and bring about a just and lasting peace. To that end we dedicate our strength, our resources, and if need be our lives. John Paul Price, Superintendent Page Twenty-Six
