FE EER E Ch TS EDUCATION EOR VICTORY Because young men from the ages of seven teen to twenty years are being called into the armed forces, the senior class of this school has remaining ten girls and three boys In September there were twelve girls and ten boys This same thing is happening in every highschool in the United States it even more important that the people remaining in school make the most of the opportunity Every person of grammar and high school seriously, not as something that has to be done so lets age should take this education States future leaders of the United should then be educated to carry on this work wisely and with the best understanding of the soclal and economic problems that is possible After the war is over we will be the ones to rebuild the nation and pay the war debt We can't do this without education and back ground We must study and work Patricia Staubach A LETTLR FROM HOME Your soldier boy is having many new ex nerlences, seeing things he never saw before, learning things entirely new to him, fitting himself to a life far different from anything in his experiences His days are filled, and when night comes he's more than ready to hit the hay Our government is doing its best to see that he is well fed, well clothed, well treat ed and provided with constructive diversion for his off duty hours In fact, history probably contains no instance of a country so carefully guarding Its armed forces' mental and physical health But there's something else that the Army and Navy can't provide and that is news from home ' Have you ever been 'homesick ? If you have, you know that homesickness is like hay fever a fine subject for joking until you're the victim Then and thereafter it ceases to be funny Some of our boys are bound to suf fer from this malady That doesn't mean they are sissies, for strong men get homesick just as quickly as weaklings It's no reflection on the Army or Navy either There's no immediate cure except to go home, and that's rather impractical for a soldier or a sailor. The next best thing is news from home. Only you can provide that Happily, homesickness doesn't last too long, and one attack often establishes nlmmu- nlty.' But news from home still makes any day a red letter day for the boy in the ser- vice. He wants to know about his family, he will chuckle over such little things as one of his favorite cats has kittens, he'll appr eciate information about his friends who may be ln other training posts or at home and he will treasure snap shots. So write to that brother, boyfriend, sweetheart or father or just plain friend that is in the service and don't put it off till some other timeg do it today. Allan Allison 'THAT AWFUL THILG CALLED WARU We've had war so long that lt seems a thousand years I sit and wonder what peace would be like I just, somehow, in this frame of mind, can't Imagine the world at peace, each country friendly as it was a long time ago Will this awful nervous tension in the air ever disappear? Will people ever sit together in the evenings, he with his fav orite pipe and chair, of course his newspaper and bedroom slippers too, she with her knltt ing, the children on the floor playing with the family puppy or kitten? in that mischievous way or will he be bitter? Will he still be sweet and lovxng or will the war have changed him into a heartless beast who knows nothing but fighting? Yes, I know that's what the boys are fighting for their homes with their loved ones close to them, but I'm afraid they'll forget how to love, how to be gentle and tender Isn t there something we can do to help them remember how it used to be? The American women mothers, sisters, sweethearts, and daughters, can, must and will find some way to help our men from the battlefront find in themselves their lost selves We must find a means of salvation for those who furnished us a means of sal vatlon Evelyn Smith Our Flag Our flag always thrills me It is beau tiful It ls beautiful under all conditions, but I think it must be the most beautiful to a soldier Can you imagine how it must look to one of our soldier boys who is a prisoner of the enemy perhaps? It would spell freedom and home, when it The thirteen sent our thirteen our country The of the motives of public The red tribute to every for liberty The appeared stripes of our flag repre original colonies that made white signifies the purity the men who formed our re represents blood It is a man and woman who has died color blue, is taken from the blue of the sky The stars stand for our states There is a star for every state So salute your flag and may its 'broad stripes and bright stars' wave proudly over a free people forever. Mary Lou Raish Alone When my mind is complicated with mishaps as well as thrills, I like to be alone to think and reason. Why do I want to be alone? Well it's because I feel more free to really think. I don't mean to suggest that I don't like people, because I love them. I mean lt. Having friends is the art of life. lt's nice to have a friend cheer you up when you're in the blues. But I like much better to be really alone to straighten out my own blues. After all lt's my mishap, there- fore I should use my own will and power to solve itg and being alone really helps. Cassie Cyganovlch E R P' Q 6 QNX tr f at 5 I 5 l b 0 I . So is W .
