UDENTS LEARN BY DOING The three R's have expanded so that education now runs the gamut of the alphabet from A to Z. Manning the '42 community fund drive as student speakers were C. H. S. juniors and seniors. Gladly they took notes preparatory to their journey, traveled to the well-baby clinics, listened to lectures on the work of social agencies. Good fortune greeted them at the Y. W. C. A., as they arrived in time for the girls' intramural swimming meet, and at the Y. M. C A., where, climaxing their study of community resources, they were guests at a turkey dinner. Yes, opportunities for the development of cooperation, sportsman- ship, and leadership are plentiful. Speakers such as Miss Besse Howard, C. H. S. grad and international news commentator, address student groups. Annual staff members, using the blueprint room as a studio, expedite the taking of senior formals for the yearbook by bringing the photographer to the campus. On the home front, the Clippers and the St. James Bulldogs, staging a post-season game, swelled the coffers of the Defense Council, while the services of pupils and teachers prove invaluable to rationing boards.
