The Halls of Our Old Alma Mater il? Cleveland's halls have changed with the times. Instead of a booth to sell novel- ties or candy there is now one which has as its purpose the sale of War Stamps. Our roll of honor is proudly displayed in the hall bearing the names of our alumni who are fighting and sacrificing their lives for us. Bulletin hoard displays are now devoted to vic- tory gardens, war jobs, rationing data and publicity helpful to the war effort. Sir

Faculty .ferwke Flag Dora Leavitt Martha Whittaker The war has had far reaching effects on many aspects of our lives, and at school it is affecting not only much of our student body but two of the teachers who soon will be wearing the uni- forms of Waves, taking their orders from Uncle Sam. Miss Leavitt, librarian and sponsor of the Torch Club, and Miss Whittaker, health and algebra teacher. will report shortly for officers, training in Massachusetts. With them go wishes for the best of luck and success from the many boys and girls who have looked to them for help and advice throughout their high school years. Also in the service of their country are three other Cleveland teachers who answered Uncle Sam's call last year, Mr. William Bernnard and Mr. Joseph Laing, junior high teacher, now in the Army, and Mr. Norman Webb, serving in the Navy.

With the crash of a champagne bottle breaking across its bow, a mighty mine-sweeper slipped gracefully down the runway into the cold Waters of Lake Wash- ington-another symbol of American workmanship completed under wartime conditions. Irene Rickdal, a student here at Cleveland, had the honor of launching this ship. Irene's father, like the parents of many of Cleveland students, works at the shipyards building the ships so vital for our victory over the Axis. Sir
