DEFENSE after, a meeting was held in which Dr. Kraybill and Mr. Samuels pointed out the duties of these wardens and gave them careful instructions with regard to the responsibility they carried. The school shop provided, among other things, those oflicialflooking red boxes which housed sand to douse Der Fuehrer's attempts at setting our buildings in flames. Nary a box was seen without a can, and the latter contained HIC with which to give the Nazis just a bit more resistance. At inf tervals along the walls were placed lanterns Which, incidentally, were provided with backboards by the vocational boys. Some students haven't quite decided the why of lanterns in a blackout, but a few of us have concluded they're to help in the event that medical attention should be needed. Miss Grace Hunter's Red Cross and First Aid classes devoted many hours to becoming adept and accurate in caring for the injured, and Mr. Wilbur Lehman organized a Hale America program for Cheltenham in connection with the National theme, A number of homerooms chose, as their projects, defense activities. These included tap' ing windows, collecting newspapers and magaf zines, tinfoil, old license plates and, thanks to Arnold, waste paper. On the whole, the '41742 school year was a definite menace to Adolph. :alla-Q-' ROLLING BAN DAGES MAKING STRETCHERS CHELTENHAM TOWNSHIP DEFENSE INSTRUCT ORS Top Row-Left to right: Mr. Whitely, Mr. Gill, Mr. Macomber, Mr. Cunningham.

MESSENGER BOYS TAPING WINDOWS CHELTENHAM When CHS students bounced back to school last fall after the extended vacation, one of the first things they noticed was the revolution in locker arrangement. But not long after that, some tricky Crientals in japan invited themselves to a party in Pearl Harbor, and presto! Chelts saw changes take place which made the locker episode seem nil. Under the leadership of Mr. Robert Samuels and his student assistant, George Roberts, the school went suddenly all out and full steam ahead for defense preparations, just in case Messrs. Hitler and Hirohito should decide to call while classes were in session. Mr. Samuels' faculty committee for defense included Mr. Franklin Gill, Mr. Wm. Saltzman, Mr. Albert Weston, Mr. Robert White, Mr. Robert Cunningham, Mrs. Margaret jones, and Miss Constance Herbst. This group organized plans for the distribution of pupils during an air' raid, and observed the results during drills conf ducted as tests. At the midyear point, each student knew what procedure to follow should the emerf gency arise. George Roberts and his Student Council comf mittee cooperated with the teachers in all defense programs. In each class, two student leaders were assigned to conduct their group to the designated safety spot for that particular room.
