OUR TOWN'S WAR EFFORT THE TEACHERS OF CENTRAL SERVE UNCLE SAM Two teachers who were in our town in 1942 left to go into the armed forces. These soldiers are Mr. Armas Pelto, who taught stenography, transcription, and typing, and Mr. Edward Krueger, who taught civics and United States history. Mr. Pelto enlisted in October. 1942 and remained in the army until March. 1943. While in the service, he was stationed at Stillwater. Oklahoma. At the present, he is teaching commercial arithmetic at Lincoln Junior High. Mr. Krueger, a lieutenant, senior grade, in the Navy Air Corps, is an instructor in aeronautics. He was stationed part of the time at Kokomo. Indiana. Not only do we have male teachers in the armed forces, but one of the feminine sex is also serving our country. Miss Gladys Chamberlin, who taught English at Central, has joined the WAAC. She is beginning her work at the WAAC Training Center at Des Moines. Iowa. She plans to work to qualify for officer training. In home defense. Mr. Schadegg is a lieutenant in the Civil Air Patrol and supervisor of the Civil Air Patrol Cadets at Central. He is also state co-ordinator of the cadet program. Serving in a smaller job. but no less important, is Mr. Wohlford. an air raid warden. In the women's division of our town's civilian army are Mrs. Brice and Miss lies who are Red Cross Victory Aides. To relieve the shortage of trained nurses, women have been trained to take over the duties that do not require medical training. Both of these teachers completed 180 hours of work before last September. From then until April. Mrs. Brice gave 200 hours of service, and Miss lies 300 hours. They work every other Saturday and whenever they are called. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, pictured below, made city-wide headlines many times! As a matter of historical record we thought our book would not be complete without their picture.
