This is a common mistake for at the extreme Northern tip of the Territory, Point Barrow, the lowest winter tempera- ture is slightly above the lowest records of North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. In central Alaska the heat in the summer is about equal to that of New York City. Alaska is a country of extremes. It has very old things and very new, ancient Eskimo and Indian cultures and modern gold mining and modern fish canneries. It is one-fifth the size of the United States and offers almost every type of climate, for there are magnificent snow-clad mountains, vast for- ests, broad prairies and many lakes. ' It may be surprising to learn about the suffocating heat and the nu- merous mosquitos of the Alaskan summer. Hunters and miners who go into the country in the summertime have to wear mosquito netting over their faces to keep from being blinded by these insects. The cheapest means of traveling long distances in Alaska is by air- plane. It is so cheap that even an Eskimo, who owns his own dog team and to whom time is of no value, cannot afford to travel by sled. Lodging fees and the cost of food for himself and his dogs would amount to several times the price of an airplane ticket. There are only two railroads in all of Alaska, The Alaskan Railroad and The White Pass and Yukon. The Alaskans are proud of McKinley National Park, where the chief attraction is Mount McKinley, the highest peak on the North American continent. This mighty mountain is permanently snow covered for two- thirds of the way down and it reaches a height of 20,300 feet above the sea. No other mountain in the world rises so far above its own base. This beautiful McKinley Park is the farthest North and is the second largest National Park in the United States. Alaska is the home of the third largest river in North America, the mighty Yukon. Only half known and never fully surveyed, the delta contains numerous little known tributaries and countless islands and channels. ' ' Fishing, canning, mining, fur trapping, and breeding, transporting and farming, these are the ways Alaskans earn their living. Some have 11 gone into domestic and personal services which take care of the large tourist trade. When you think of Alaska you always think of gold, gold dust, gold rush or gold mining. But gold mining, although it is a great industry, is not as large nor as important as the Alaskan fisheries. Millions of salmon are caught and canned each year and represent 90 per cent of the total fisheries output. Cod, herring and halibut are also caught in large numbers. Gold mining is the second largest industry of Alaska. It is carried out on a large scale, usually by corporations with offices and stockholders outside Alaska. Besides gold, Alaska has large supplies of copper. There are silver, platinum, tin, marble, coal and oil. Furs play an important role in Alaska also. The principal animals are fox, marten, mink, otter, ermine, muskrat, beaver, polar bear and several others. The panhandle of Alaska is the narrow strip that joins the British Columbia coast. Three of Alaska's largest cities can be found here: Ketchikan, Juneau, the capital, and Sitka, the old Russian capital.

Perhaps I was the only one who came to school year after year not knowing much more about Alaska than the facts that there's a lot of snow up there, that it gets rather cold and that it was sometimes referred to as Seward's Icebox or the land of the midnight sun. True, there is a lot of snow up there, but itls not all snow and ice as I had imagined. There are the beautiful mountains, most of which are picturesquely decorated with pines and spruce, which tower to amazing heights so that they may not remain unnoticed. Inci- dentally, these supply the source of one of Alaska's most important indus- tries, lumbering. Where there are mountains there are valleys, and these present a display of sparkling brilliancy as the sun plays upon their white softness. To the observer of these wonders there often arises doubts as to whether his senses are playing with the fairies as his imagination wanders over the things too beautiful to really exist. But, even this is not all of Alaska. This does not include the quaint towns with their small curio shops and their frontiersmen nor does it include the fox fur farms, lumber camps or salmon fisheries--yet these things play a very important role in the complete drama of Alaska. The different sections of Alaska differ from each other just as Alaska differs from foreign lands. It is not all backwoods any more than it is all small towns or mountains, wilderness and plains. Some parts of Alaska are just as primitive as they ever were, while other sections are quite well advanced. For example, it is not at all uncommon for one of the larger towns to have within its limits a school, church, post oflice, factory, department stores and other buildings always associated with prosperous towns. I hope that some day I will make the trip to Alaska and maybe then I'll Wonder how I ever imagined Alaska as I do now, just as now I can't understand where I acquired my former impression of it.

H .fgfcwgah .Zfem 19045 In Southeastern Alaska, there can still be seen the totem poles that date back to the customs of the Hydah Indian tribes. The natives re- garded these poles as tribal crests or coats-of-arms. They knew what each sign on the pole meant and could read them as we read a newspaper. It is said that the totem was invented by these Hydah Indians and that there were three kinds of poles. The most common kind was that which was placed in front of the dwelling places of natives. At Alert Bay, Alaska, there can be found a Raven totem, topped with a huge head with red eyes and a bright blue beak. On this is set a stove- pipe hat! Beneath the raven is an odd man-like figure, hunched-up and almost covered by great wings. Below this is another head with a beak that protrudes at least two feet. The fourth figure on the pole is another man wrapped up in wings while at his side is a horrible looking hawk with large green eyes and a Vermilion streaked beak. The last figure on the totem is an ugly, crouched man holding a spear. The raven was often used on the totems because it was symbolic of something superior. The Indians believed that these figures had jaws that bite and claws that scratch. They also believed that the fabulous, eagle-like Jabberwock bird hurled rocks. Totems were symbols of the ancient belief in human kinship with the animal world. That is, that men and animals can interchange ideas and are on the same footing. To the savages the poles were family trees or registers and they were to those who understood the figures, a history in pictures of the family who lived in the house before which they stood. The Hydah Indians were divided into three classes: the rich, the middle, and the slave classes. The slaves were never allowed to own totems, but the rest of the tribe took great pride in their poles. The higher and more elaborate the pole, the richer and more aristocratic its owner. Some poles were found to be as high as a four-story building, and were valued at several thousand dollars apiece. When the poles were being made, the most perfect cedar trees were chosen and cut down. They were hollowed out by burning out the inside, with a slow and careful process. The artist then worked skillfully and carefully with special tools, carving the various Hgures and symbols. These Indians were once great artists in wood carving, but all this quickly vanishing race left for us to see are the rotting totem poles. I5 Some effort has been made to preserve these historic relics, and has, so far, proved very successful. This preservation, which is a considerable undertaking because of the enormous size of the poles, is not only being made because they are unique relics but because they are such memorable works of art. Another kind of totem was also found in cemeteries and was called the grave totem. This totem had a place hollowed out in the back at the lower end, in which a box was placed containing the ashes of the deceased. Still another kind were totems that were commemorative to remarkable events in the lives of these Indians. These were historical records whose story was told by symbols carved in wood. Some of the poles were directories to the Indians. A visiting native, though he lived many miles away and spoke an entirely different language, would look for a home with the same totem sign as his own. There, although a stranger, he would be welcomed as a brother. If he belonged to a different family, he thought again before risking an intrusion, so important was the significance of the totem pole.

This town, sometimes called Ipiutah, had over eight hundred houses. About two hundred are still buried by the beach sand. Until 1940 the extent of the town was not known. The houses were about fifteen feet square and each faced the west. The central heating plant was a hearth in which blubber and driftwood were burned. The floors were made of driftwood. The walls were of sod blocks with a log framework. A cemetery was unearthed with log tombs. The skeletons found in these tombs had large eyes carved from ivory. Since nothing like this was to be found among the Eskimo ruins, it is believed these people mi- grated from some part of the Orient. Objects of ivory and flint were found but none of the natives of Alaska know any possible use for them. The skeletons found in this Arctic region may help to prove whether or not these people came from the Orient, or whether the Eskimos of today are descendants of these ancient people. ANTOINETTE BARTELS. . .. .- 1 ...g :.Q., zz' .1213 :fem if fifvil' stiffer- ,R-'fi' was sal imisa 2 -:aa -as-MQQFEB ll ll f P mericak :wma ga Yes, that is just what the Alaska Highway is to America, a Burma Road. A number of years ago this section had been seen only by Indians, Royal Mounties, and occasional hunters and trappers until a certain grey- haired engineer, Donald MacDonald, fought his way through this wilder- ness. MacDonald had no trail to follow but he had the strong desire to prove the possibilities of a road connecting the United States with all- important Alaska. MacDonald figured that if it were at all possible for him to get by on foot, surely the American people would overcome ther handicaps and build a road. For twenty years MacDonald tried to per- suade the government to listen to his so-called fantastic idea. He made several trips to Washington to arouse interest in building a road from the United States to Alaska. Finally he got Congress and the Press inter- ested, and in 1938 President Roosevelt appointed an Alaskan Highway Commission of which MacDonald was a member. The Commission de- cided, in 1940, that immediate construction should be started but not until December 7, 1941, did things come to a head. Finally, MacDonald's hopes and dreams came true. It was necessary to work doubly fast to get all supplies in before the spring thaws came and hindered the con- struction at Dawson Creek. Immediately Canada sent men with dog teams to go out and buy up all the rights to the land. Army engineers were given furlined sleeping packs and clothes and told they were to do an important but fantastic job in four or possibly six weeks. If the weather 'continued freezing it would be possible, but if the spring thaws were early it would have been practically impossible, for in place of the supplies coming in by Army trucks, the bog and mud would make it necessary for supplies to come by pack horses. At first it seemed as if the thaws were early but then, as if through a miracle, a heavy freeze came which lasted until the end of April. Now the thaws had very little effect upon the construction, as all necessary supplies and machinery had been brought through and con- struction was carried on. With the thaws came the mosquitoes, and it has been said that over the humming of these insects talking was prac- tically impossible. Following the mosquitoes came the no-see-ums, black Hy, horse fly, and deer Hy, but fortunately none of these carried malaria. Day by day, week by week, the construction went on. All construction was under the order of Brigadier-General William Morris Hoge, a native Missourian. It has been said that this expedition could be compared with 18 that of Lewis and Clark. His men slept in pup tents and received no leaves or furloughs until the completion of the Road. At the completion of the road, soldiers and equipment reached Fair- banks, Alaska, in 80 hours from Edmonton, which formerly took nine days by sea and rail. The cost of the road can be compared to less than the cost of a battleship, which seems almost nothing compared to the real value. Not only during war times will this road be profitable but after peace is again restored in this World people and families from Mis- souri, Texas, Florida, Maryland and from all over will be able to go to Alaska to live. There is plenty of free land in Alaska and after we can come into Contact with it more easily it will be more than just the place of the Eskimosf' BETTY RODERMUND. wr ea we f.3r J X 115- .Lv 1 X H e iv X A X FRAncu:ij1ls'i 'Y-R X X X ka navsml ..1 vp A A pf, png N 4,1 . jf.. .A .41 f xx h LN ,Tx X WAT ' I i 'lf MODEL KTANANLX H Siiiqax X O X Lwex Pos X Q X .

This changed Alaska from a district to a territory. This territory is controlled by the Federal government and its powers over Alaska are unlimited. Some of these powers are: the control of the public health, the care of the insane, the educational programs, the ad- ministration of order, and the control of natural resources. The President, with the consent of the Senate, appoints the Governor for a four-year term. The present governor is Ernest Gruening. Other ofiicers appointed by the President are: the secretary of Alaska, four dis- trict judges, four U. S. Marshals, and four district attorneys, each term lasting four years. The four courts of Alaska are at Juneau, Nome, Vil- dem, and at Fairbanks. The officers are divided up to ofliciate in these courts. Some of the duties of the Governor are to appoint a Board of Edu- cation and a Commissioner of Health. Besides the above-mentioned offi- cers there are twenty-four members of the Legislature. All laws passed by the Legislature must be approved by the United States Congress. One delegate is sent to the House of Representatives for a two-year term, but he is not permitted to participate in the voting of the House. In Alaska some of the qualifications of the voters are: to be able to write English and to be able to read the Constitution of the United States in English. RUTH BECKMEIER. S H 1 ,f '- gg 1- gf' : 55? -,f Q-olcedlfd mmf jj-Awem 0!.!g!6L:5A6L The most surprising thing in Alaska to a person who is just visiting it for the first time is the growth of its vegetation, for many of us would expect to see nothing but glaciers, mountains, and snow. But to find the land blossoming with vivid wild flowers, and to see luscious berries hang- ing in a profusion never before known is to come upon the unexpected. The abundance of snow-capped mountains and glaciers and icebergs cause people to believe the region to have little vegetation. But flowers and grasses and bushes grow on the glacier almost at the edge of snow peaks, and some flowers have been found on glittering blue icebergs floating on the saphire waters. Almost all of the wild flowers of the temperate zone are found in Alaska. The forget-me-not is a brilliant blue with a yellow center, and the plant grows a foot high. When the fire weed is in season a sheet of flame is thrown almost over the whole of Alaska. Wild roses grow larger and more fragrant in Alaska than elsewhere. Wild berries of every kind are found in variety and profusion. Straw- berries grow so thick that in early days the miners picked them by the gallon, put them in water-tight casks of alternate layers of berries and sugar, placed these casks in the icy waters of mountain streams and preserved the berries for months. The wild flowers are beautiful and the berries delicious, but the for- ests are the real assets. The total area of the forests and woodland is estimated at about one hundred million acres. The timber of Alaska includes Sitka spruce, western hemlock, red and yellow cedar and a scattering of other kinds. The Sitka spruce is in great demand for airplanes. The timber is also used for boxes, espe- cially for the canneries, for furniture, piano backs, and oars for racing boats. Its greatest use, however, is for paper pulp of which the world is at present suffering from a shortage. In the interior, the timber is small and is used for building the log houses of traders and settlers. These forests, however, are being rapidly used up, as they are the chief source of fuel.

There is a great deal of gold mined in Alaska, but her greatest contribution to the world is fish. The first and foremost of the fish is the salmon. There is a sort of fascination in the life story of a salmon. It is a very strange thing, but the salmon comes home to die. When his time comes, the salmon goes exploring along the seashore looking for the mouth of a stream up which it can go and spawn and it always happens to find the same stream in which it was born. The moment the salmon reaches fresh water it begins to die, but first the salmon lays its eggs. When the most important thing in the life of a salmon is completed, it ceases all exertion and floats downstream to land on the first low gravel bar, there to die. There are other fish besides the salmon in the Alaskan waters, such as herring, halibut, and whales. There are many large canneries in Alaska, giving employment to thousands of people. In the canneries, Indian girls are employed, but the workers are largely Spanish speaking Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and Filipinos. Large canneries have from sixty to eighty privately owned fishing boats fishing for them. The fishermen who work on these boats are half natives and all fishermen must be Amer- ican citizens. They are paid per fish. The canneries also have fish traps from which a large amount of their supply of fish comes. Fish traps are very useful because after the season closes, canning can continue because these traps hold large amounts of fish. There are certain seasons set by the fish commissioner and if anyone is caught fishing out of season, the boat is confiscated and the cannery closed. According to law, the salmon must be canned within 24 hours after they are taken from the water or from the traps. The fish are washed into the cannery by water pressure and then sorted according to species. Each operation is different. One group of people does the cut- ting off of the heads, another group cleans out the insides and still another does the final cleaning. They are then thoroughly washed and cut into strips just the length of the can. They are packed raw, salted and then are cooked by the case for an hour and a half at 240 degrees. One king salmon may fill several cases and a single case may bring over 310. CAROL HEIDELBERG. M f D 3 A 4 ' ry .A 4E6LlfLg8l 0lfL5 .!4!6L6L6LlfL UCClfLl96Lfl:0IfL In Alaska, the Whaling season lasts from about March to June. The Spring whale hunt is very dangerous and much praying is done before and after the journey. Until a generation ago the Eskimo women prayed to the male moon, Alignuk, for the success of their husbands. When a faint silver crescent appeared in the night sky, each captain's wife would take a little wooden bowl and fill it with clean, clear water from a certain lagoon. Late at night she would slip out of the house and hold the bowl toward the moon and say, Alignuk, drop a whale into this pot so that we can kill one this spring. Now, however, they pray to the Christian God for deliverance. To determine whether the whale hunt will be a success, a ceremonial dance is held. At the end of the ceremony, the dancer hurls a wooden top out of which rises goose feathers. If the top spins smoothly and the feathers sail off into the air, the hunt will be a success. If not, someone sitting at the ceremony will die. Before the actual whale hunt begins, a feast is held where the people of the village eat slabs of frozen whale meat from last year's killing. This is considered a delicacy. After this festival, boats are prepared, paddles, harpoon shafts, great cutting lance shafts, and boat hooks are cleaned. Knives and gear are also cleaned. By tradition, the Whale can- not see the gear, but if he does, it promises him sharp cutting knives which will not hurt in the butchering. For the Eskimos think that the whale does not die, but he merely has his parka removed. Two or three days later, the boat is put on a sled and pulled over ice to the open water and the hunt is on for the bowhead whale, called Agavik. When a whale is finally stuck, each of the other boats races to the scene, for each boat gets a portion of the whale, depending upon the order of its arrival. Then one of the boats paddles over the whale's back and the harpooner drives the harpoon shaft deep into the whale's blubber. Sealskin floats are attached to the harpoon line, and these floats sink as the whale emits deep sounds from the sting of the exploding har- poon bomb in his back. As the wounded whale rises, the floats bob up and warn the hunters. The Eskimos drive boats over the victim's back and vital spots are jabbed by lancers. After the whale is killed, the boats line up in accordance with their arrival upon the scene and tow the whale home. 26 By means of a shout by one of the captains, the cooks on shore inform the villagers of the kill. Having arrived back at the ice near the shore, the Eskimos pray and thank God for their safe arrival. Then after about two days, butchering takes place. Two slanting holes are cut into the ice beam strong enough to hold the large pulleys attached to the carcass, lying still in the open water. Then the whale is pulled onto the ice and the women begin boiling the strips of skin that were cut away from the body of the whale. The older men mark off the crew's share by cutting long gashes in the skin. The flukes belong to the captain who makes the first strike, but are given to the villagers at the time of feasting. The booby prize is given to the last boat to arrive. It is a strip the length of the captain's foot, cut from the whale. All parts of the whale are used except the skull, which is supposed to be the share demanded by the crabs. Other parts feed men and dogs, provide monuments made from jaw-bones, baskets made from strips of baleen, drumheads made from the skin of the liver and lungs, and even rubber bouncing balls from a white rubbery substance along the skull. In these respects the whale is like the pig. RICHARD HOFFMANN. Q if .Tack Brenk 'H wedlock of .jfanyoorfafion in .fdfcwlu There are many and diverse methods of transportation in the country that, in 1867, was known as Seward's Iceboxf' At that time it seemed sheer wasteful extravagance to pay 557,000,000 for miles of icebergs and polar bears. Since then, it has been realized that Alaska is a region of rich mineral deposits, great agricultural value, vast timber reserves, ex- cellent food-fish, valuable fur-bearing animals, and it holds a strategic position in the present war. Surely, highways and methods of transpor- tation play an important part in our relations with so valuable a posses- sion. Twenty-five years ago the dog team was the only method of trans- portation when the fierce Alaska winters paralyzed the rivers. A good dog in Alaska is worth anywhere from seventy-five dollars and up. The thick-furred, long-legged Labrador huskies are the most powerful as well as the most valuable dog. A load of one hundred and fifty pounds per dog is the usual burden and seven to nine dogs are attached. Seventy miles a day is the rule with drivers and their teams. Then came the earlier aviators who, until a year or two ago, iiew without navigational aids, guessed at weather, alighted on incredibly small clearings, on beaches, and on river sand bars. They alighted on lakes, and coastal waters with pontoons and on frozen lakes with skis. They have written a chapter in the winning of the air, which will always be memorable in the history of bravery, valor and skill. Now, war has brought men to Alaska: engineers and construction workers-boys from the United States. In 1940, a road to Alaska was just a dream, with many alternate routes under consideration. Now, the highway, known as Route C, has actually been constructed by Army engineers. Not so long ago, General Henry Arnold, commanding our Army Air Forces, said, Never has a road been so important to airmen as the Alaskan Highway. Some time ago, in 1914 to be exact, after prolonged agitation, Con- gress passed an act for the construction of a government railroad and appropriated thirty-five million dollars for it. The total revenue of the Alaska Railroad in 1934 was S1,476,568g its operating expenses were slightly over that. In connection with this war, the soldiers of the 770th Railway Operating Battalion were called upon to operate one hundred and ten miles of railroad along the White Pass and Yukon. 28 Old timers told them that they were up against the toughest one hundred and ten miles of track in the world. When they first arrived, they looked with disbelief at the old couplet that hung painted on a spruce plank over the counter at the Pack Train: This is the Law of the Yukon, that only the Strong shall thriveg That surely the Weak shall perish, and only the Fit survive. A few months later they scoffed no more. So amid Alaskan bliz- zards too cold for a polar bear, the Army played Casey Jones to a vital stretch of railroad too steep for a goat. During these operations the tem- erature dropped to seventy-two degrees below zero. Anti-freeze hardened in the cans, and truck motors had to be kept running all night or they would not start in the morning. When trains stopped to take on water, the locomotive wheels froze to the rails. Often they were not broken loose until another engine was summoned, by wire, to give the train a shattering bump. These soldiers accomplished in twenty-four hours what had previously taken two weeks. The arrival of the cargo on the freight of this line not only meant that the Alaska Highway would be completed ahead of schedule but that new runways and hangars could be added to the vital airports along the road. Many civilian construction workers and 22,000 troops have been transported through the frigid zone by the soldier railroaders. Some of the workers and soldiers are going to make Alaska their permanent home in the future. There are thousands like them. They have come to keep free the freest part of all America, to keep it free with the rest. Many of them, their task completed, will stay. They will homestead, and the love of adventure that is in the American's heart will hold them there. But only convenient transportation will bring them there, and this transportation is being improved to convey the homesteaders to Alaska, remnant of a world which fulfills the American dream and may play a still greater part in fulfilling our destiny.

In 1857, no one dreamt that the 37,200,000 which was paid to Russia for the northern territory-now called Alaska-would ever be paid back. However, everybody was mistaken. Today, the United States is receiv- ing, annually, 31,000,000 for gold, copper and other minerals and 51,000,- 000 for furs. Besides, Alaska is now a very strategic point that may help win the war for the United States. This proves that Alaska is more valu- able than an iceberg, as some people describe it. The following state- ments are a few facts about Alaska's resources. The most valuable industry in Alaska is the fishing industry. The territory has been divided into three divisions by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, the first being Southeastern Alaska, and employing about ten thousand men. This is the seat of the fresh fish industry. The second fishing district is known as that of Central Alaska. Although most of the catch is salmon, there is also an animal export of millions of pounds of cod fish. The third district, which is Western Alaska, brings in enough salmon and cod to rank next to the first district in importance. In the seventy-five canneries in Alaska, the work is done mainly by machinery. Thirty thousand fish are cleaned by the iron Chink in ten hours. When catching halibut, a trip of ten days is required. Ice is taken on the ship to pack the halibut, which, upon reaching the cannery, are immediately canned. The largest Cannery stores fourteen million pounds of fish. Also, there is extensive catching of clams, oysters and herring to help consti- tute the fishing industry. Another very important industry of Alaska is that of mineral mining. Although amazingly true, much of the gold comes from mines extending far out into the ocean. There are two systems of mining used, placer and quartz, the latter being the most valuable in Juneau. However, the dis- trict around Fairbanks is also very valuable. The gold-bearing stratum is five or six feet in thickness and has an average value of more than five dollars per cubic foot. At Chatanika, the gold is thawed out of the ice by steam. Copper mines, which are also very productive in Alaska, are operated mainly in the district of Cordova. Four hundred copper loca- tions have already been over seventy miles long and twenty miles wide. Due to this fact, it is probable that the copper industry will be as great as that of the gold. The average ores taken out have yielded over twenty per cent and sometimes as much as seventy-five per cent. In comparing the ore yield of Alaska with that of the United States mines, it is proved how profitable Alaskan copper mines will be, because the highest ore yield in Arizona is five per cent. 31 The seals make up the greater part of the fur industry. They breed in the Pribilof Islands, which belong to the United States, and bring in more profits than any other breeding place in the world. The seals num- bered three or four million when the purchase of Alaska was made, but before laws were made in regard to preservation, they dwindled to 123,600. The number, however, has been pushed up to over two million again. Since the signing of the Pelagic Treaty, over eight hundred and fifty thou- sand seal-skins have been taken for market, thus bringing millions of dol- lars to the U. S. Treasury. The only Alaskan seal-skins to be processed in the United States are produced in a plant in St. Louis under Government supervision. This is due to the fact that seal-skins from Alaska are rare and have to be processed carefully. Foxes also help constitute the fur in- dustry. The herds of fox are allowed to run wild on the Pribilofs, but in the Aleutians and in Southern Alaska, they are raised in kennels. Some black foxes have been worth at least one thousand dollars apiece. Over a million dollars has been invested in the fox-fur farms of Alaska by the United States Government. These facts definitely show Alaska's importance to the United States. It is considered one of the best territorial purchases in the world and, for- tunately, to our benefit. FLORENE SILHAVY. G I.. im: Lift lgttfm 52,158 Not all our outlying possessions are tropical or semitropical. Alaska, a land of many possibilities, reaches far beyond the Arctic Circle. Alaska, placed on a map of the United States, would reach from Savannah, Geor- gia, to the Canadian border. A big question, today, is whether this land of great opportunities will become our 49th state. People are beginning to think that the Alaskan Highway and the new railways and airlines will bring millions of people to Alaska after the war, to become permanent residents. Even now, small, one-street settlements are becoming overcrowded with people working on roads and airfields. Of course, these settlements are scattered and are few and far between. The activity of today is mostly military, although there are many things waiting to be developed. Its mineral resources are vast. Alaska not only has gold, but also copper, tin, iron, platinum, lead, marble and many billions of tons of coal. But its underground wealth isn't all. Alaska has much agricultural land and fur farming and salmon fishing are also found to be very profitable. In the future, Alaska will supply these prod- ucts for the United States. Almost overnight, Alaska has leaped from the Stone Age to aviation. Little money has been spent on the defense of Alaska. Little defense was needed until the airplane started air routes from America to the Orient by way of Alaska. Because of the many planes, new air bases bring about many problems. Most of the building materials must be brought from the United States. The tundra, a spongy moss substance, must be peeled off before concrete can be laid. The removal of the tundra is not easy, because it lies six inches below the permanently frozen surface. It must be thawed out before it can be removed. The problems of the building of bases and of the airplane are important because the airplane provides the best means of travel and makes the land more habitable. Flyers passing over isolated houses and suspecting anything wrong drop down to investigate. Much of Alaska's future lies in the many settlers who will make their homes in the great land which some day may become our 49th state. MARILYN HALLIBURTON. aan funn.. 0 'Q 0 f9.

Really, they are not much different here than any small town. Gambling is the favorite pastime in Alaska because entertainment fields are very limited. The mile-long gambling halls that existed in the Gold Rush days are no more, but every- body gambles in one way or another. Gold mining is the biggest gamble of all, and salmon fishing is the next biggest gamble. Walking into one of the big night spots, you can see the natives intrigued in their favorite card games, solo and 4-5-6. Over in a far corner, men are taking chances on something like our sweepstakes. Lottery tickets are sold openly, with fat prizes going to purchasers who guess the exact hour, day, and minute when ice will break up on the Yukon River. Going out in the street again we pass the local movie house now show- ing My Gal Sal. We are hungry and stop at the Star Cafe. Yes, they do have j uke boxes here, too, with the latest records. These take the place of orchestras. Here we see the Anchorage News, the Northern Commer- cial Company, the Alaska Star Airlines, and Hewitts' Soda Fountain. There's the Alaska Bank and local barber shop across the street. You can hear the children singing Alaska, My Alaska as we pass the old school- house. As we walk on we can still hear some strains of God Bless Amer- ica. Down the street, there, is Odd Fellows Hall, where the soldiers spend their evening singing Jingle Jangle Jingle, and Sweet Adeline. There across the street, we have more 'intellectual entertainment. A woman is playing the piano and you would be surprised at her selections, they are songs from Martha and Samson and Delilah. Well, here is our hotel, the Silver Fizz. Goodnight, and I hope you enjoyed your stroll through a typical Alaskan town. BETTY DEMKO. Ng X L N YM- Q11 1 -- -2 'Q H W f fl!

Jfaala Before the great air war in the Aleutians, many people said that Alaska would not see or hear of the horrors of the war. But things have changed and Alaska is more important now than ever before in the his- tory of our country. There are many soldier camps pitched on the moun- tain sides. Many of the soldiers thought that sunsets back home were beautiful, but when they saw the midnight sun, they pronounced this sight the most breath-taking one they had ever seen. Truly, the sight is magnificent, with the heavy clouds rolling slowly over a blanket of blue- black sky reflected in the icy water. Among the many volcanoes in Alaska is Mt. Makushin. It is one of the largest in the Aleutians and is about two thousand feet high. It has only one crater with a lake in it. ' The first port of entry into Alaska is called Ketchikan. It is seven hundred and fifty miles north of Seattle on the Inside Passage. Most of the ships entering the Bering Sea have to wait at Dutch Harbor for the ice to break in the Arctic Ocean. The white children in Alaska are the children of government workers and missionaries or are Aleuts or part Aleut natives. They are among the happiest children in the world. The church that these children and their parents attend is the Russian-Greek Orthodox. Unalaska, or llliluk, was once a settlement of ten thousand personsg today it houses only two hundred natives. The United States Government is building a great naval base at Dutch Harbor, which will change the little village completely. Unalaska has for years been the base for the Bering Sea Revenue Cutter Patrol and in recent years the United States Coast Guard Bering Sea Patrol. Much is done to protect the health and welfare of the natives. The seamen on the banks protect the game, fisheries, and fur seal industries at the Pribiloff Islands lying two hundred miles to the north. The men and women of America have awakened to the fact that Alaska is not a no-man's-land, but is a country that is rich in beauty and natural resourcesg a land that has waited for recognition and has finally succeeded.

It was a haughty train, the L rush- ing past second-story windows and shrugging grit and grime into the dirty streets below. The streets near the L tracks were poor and run- down, and everywhere there was dirt and filth. Before the coming of the L, these streets had been modest, but neat and clean. Then the Elevated tracks were built, and almost overnight these modest streets became squalid. The three-story apartment buildings decayed into tene- ment houses: shabby, unpainted, in need of repair, and the neighborhood was reduced to slums In her third-floor rooms, Mrs. Craig slid wearily from her sagging bed. She dressed hastily in an old cotton dress rather than the neat maid's uniform. Today was Thursday, her day off, and the busiest day of her week. As she hurried to the kitchen, she called to Mike to get up. She bustled about busily in the tiny kitchen, cooking breakfast for herself and her three sons. A frown wrinkled Mary Craig's forehead as she heard Mike moving about. He was seventeen now, and Mary was a little worried about him. He stayed out very late every night, and spent his time with a crowd of fellows at Jacksons Tears of hopelessness filled Mary's eyes. She had tried so very hard to keep Mike from being like the rest of these boys. She had scrimped and saved to send Mike to high school, hoping that he would drift away from these idle young fools who spent their time and money at Jackson's. But since he was working, he had slipped into the pattern set by these other boys. If only his father had lived, Mary thought. He needs a father to guide him-and a better environment, too. Just then Mike hurried in and started to eat his breakfast. He was careful to use very little butter on his toast so there would be more left for Jeff and Steve. Mary smiled. Anyone as thoughtful as Mike would turn out well, she needn't worry because he liked to be with his friends. Mary glanced at the noisy little clock on the shelf and noticed that it was time to awaken Steve and Jeff. As she hurried them from their studio couch in the tiny living room, Mary thought, Steve needs new pajamas. Those are about ready to fall apart. But Jeff must have a winter coat, and both of them need shoes. Boys their age are so hard on clothes. Mary put the beddings into the bottom of the studio couch, listening as with amusement to their conversation as they splashed about in the bath- room. Steve, do you think we could 'ford a dog ? Jeff was asking earnestly. 'il don't know. Ask Mom. Say, have you seen Rusty Weller? You know, that new red-headed kid. I don't like 'im. Hey, gimme the soap. '2Wait till l'm done using it. You'd better stay away from Rusty. lIe's lots bigger'n youf' Mary smiled at the worry in Jeff's voice. At ten, he worshipped his older brothers. :Q: :Es si: With the boys gone, the four little rooms seemed empty and lifeless. There was plenty of work to be done, for Mary took pride in her clean, little home, but she just could not get started. An L roared by the back of the house, making the dishes tremble on their shelves. Mary walked slowly to the kitchen window and stood looking out. It wasn't a beautiful view, she reflected, but it could be worse. Instead of living on the third floor and looking down on those tracks, she could be living on the second floor, and have them less than three feet from her window. Or worse still, she could be living on the first floor, where all she could see would be the heavy beams supporting the tracks, and a black, steel roof for a sky overhead. Mary shuddered as she thought of Mrs. Cooks' rooms: eternally dark, with the roar of the trains a constant thunder overhead. Mary gazed at the two-story buildings on the other side of the tracks, glad that they were only two stories high. She could look beyond them, and see the tall majestic apartment buildings in the distance. To Mary, they were a symbol of the fine things that she would have some day. She would never become resigned to the dirt and grime as Mrs. Cooks had. Mrs. Cooks was home all day, and she didn't manage her house or even her children too well. Little Jimmie Cooks had almost gotten himself expelled from school, and his sister Amy had certainly been in a scandal last year. Yes, Mary decided, even if she wasn't home all day, she man- aged her boys well. Jeff, for instance, wanting a dog. She hadn't put him ci? with futile promises. She had simply told him that if he wanted a dog he vfoixld have to pay for its upkeep. He had been so thrilled that lie hrd darted off without eating his breakfast, probably to get an after- school job. Mary turned from the window and began to wash the dishes. She smiled as she thought of Steve, hurrying through breakfast so that he would have time for a game of football before school. Steve was certainly i 13 3 a typical boy, carefree and fun-loving. He had a sharp temper, but with Mary's help he had managed to control it. And Mike-well, he is still very young, and naturally finds it hard to settle down, Mary thought contentedly. He knows I don't approve of his going to Jackson's, so he'll stop, pretty soon. He always tries to please me. The morning passed, and Mary smiled and sang softly to herself as she did her household tasks. She fixed a nice lunch, for Steve and Jeff would come home today. Finally she heard footsteps on the stairs. Mary went to the head of the stairs to meet them. To her amazement, it was Mike who appeared on the landing below her. Why, Mike, what are you doing home? Mary's heart skipped a beat. What if he had been fired? Did you get the afternoon off '? she tried to ask lightly. I didn't go to work, Mom, Mike said slowly, his feet lagging on the stairs. I haven't gone for over a week. I-I thought that I could make more money down at Jackson's. I did, too, for a while. Won for about four days, then I began to lose. Mary followed him in shocked silence into the living room. She felt numb, and cold. Was this the boy who was so close to her, who always tried to please her? She sank down on the studio couch beside him, wait- ing for him to speak. I even got into debt, so I had to take some money from that savings account I've got. I was hoping to win everything back, but- He did not finish. He did not have to. A wave of emptiness swept over Mary, leaving her weak. Then a sudden uncomfortable anger made her leap to her feet. Her voice shook as she cried out, You young fool! Why didn't you tell me if you needed more money? Mike looked surprised. Why, Mom, I didn't want to bother you. You're always so busy that I didn't think you had time to worry about me. Well, you got yourself into this, now get yourself out, and don't you dare come back till you do! He stood looking at her for a moment, then he walked silently out, before Mary could stop him. What have I done! Mary thought in panic. He's gone! Oh, God, make him come back! She paced the floor nervously. But he had no 40 l right to do such a thing, and mess everything up, just when I had things going so smoothly, Mary told herself firmly, to ease her conscience. Suddenly, a clamor in the street below urged her to the window. She stood transfixed by what she saw. Two boys were fighting savagely, and with a start she recognized Steve and Rusty! They were surrounded by a crowd of boys, excited and yelling. Just then, she saw Steve knock Rusty down. He fell heavily, his arm twisted queerly beneath him. Mary darted down the stairs. The flights seemed endless, but at last she emerged into the street. The crowd, sensing that Rusty was hurt, had miraculously disappeared. Mrs. Weller appeared from nowhere, shrieking something about his arm being broken and that Mary would pay for it. Somehow, Mary found herself leading Steve upstairs and into their rooms. When she had taken care of his cuts and bruises, Mary asked, as calmly as she could, What happened, Steve? What made you lose your temper like that ? Steve stared down at his hands uncomfortably. He-well, he said something that wasn't true, and I just got so mad that I hit 'im, and that started it. Mary could not bring herself to ask what Rusty had said. Could it have been about her-or Mike? Other worries crowded up around her. She would have to pay the doctor's bill for Rusty's arm, but where would she get the money? And Mike-but he would be back, she told herself resolutely. Mary got Steve to lie down, and then went into the kitchen. An L roared by, drawing Mary to the window. Was it only this morning that she had stood here, so pleased with herself? It seemed like years ago. The noisy little clock ticked away the time, and every few minutes another L rushed by. Finally she heard the door open, and Jeff called softly, Mom, oh, Mom, come look what I've got. Mary hurried into the living room, to see Jeff hugging a fluffy little puppy. Isn't he cute, Mom, Jeff continued happily. Can I keep him? A man give him to me, so he didn't cost anything. And I'll pay for his food. He was so serious, so earnest, that Mary laughed in relief. Oh, Jeff, of course you can. What would she do without Jeff, she thought. Always 41 so good, and cheerful, never getting into scrapes like Mike and Steve. How will you pay for his food ? she asked lightly. Why, I'd kind of like to keep it for a s'prise, he evaded. Mary laughed happily. He was just like his father, always wanting to keep things for a surprise. He probably had a job at the grocery store or somewhere. She played with the puppy for a few minutes, then told Jeff that he could take him outside and show him to the other boys. He departed gayly, leaving Mary in a much happier mood than she had been in when J eff arrived. About a half-hour later, a knock on the door startled Mary. Who would be coming to see her at this time of day? When she opened the door, it was Mr. Conley, the school principal, who stood before her. As Mary invited him to come in, a feeling of dread gripped her. Something must have happened, or he wouldn't be here. Mrs. Craig, he began nervously, most of the children of this neighborhood are poor, but all of them manage to buy War Stamps. Prac- tically all of them are willing to give up what little money they have for the war effort. I cannot express my shock and disappointment when I was informed that your son, J eff, had taken the money from his teacher's desk. J eff has always been one of the finest boys I know. He must have had some good reason for taking that money. 'fHe wanted a dog, Mr. Conley. I should have paid more attention to how he intended to get the money for it. It just didn't occur to me that he might steal. Mary's voice was beaten, worn out. I see, Mrs. Craig, he smiled kindly. He seemed to want to say something more, but didn't know quite how to begin. Then he said im- pulsively, Mrs, Craig, this is not a good neighborhood in which to raise children. You have fine boys and I know that you want them to amount to something. Now I happen to know Father Flannigan of 'Boys' Townf You've heard of him, no doubt. Whenever he has room for some boys, he writes me and asks if I would care to recommend any. Boys in neigh- borhoods like this so often need the chance they can get there. Of course, I really have no right to ignore the theft of the War Stamp money, which is a very serious matter, but I would be willing to overlook it if Jeff and Steve were to go to Boys' Town. If you do not wish to send your boys away from you, I have no alternative in the mat- ter. Everyone knows of the theft, and I am afraid that I would have to expel Jeff. Send her sons away? She couldn't, Mary thought in fright. But it was their one chance, and they might never have another. No one would trust Jeff after this, and at the age of ten his life here would be prac- 42 tically ruined. And Steve-well, he was far too loyal not to deny the things people would say about J eff, and with his ready temper, he would also find himself expelled very soon. Yes, Mr. Conley, Mary said impulsively before she could change her mind. Fd like to send them very much. They deserve so much that l have failed to give them, in understanding, as well as material things. Mary did not know how long she lay huddled on the studio couch after Mr. Conley had gone. Shadows lengthened and twilight fell, as Mary cried softly in the stuffy little room. Finally she heard the door open, and then Mike was there, with his arm around her shoulders. Her cares lifted, all she could think was: He's home! He came back! l couldn't have made too much of a mess of managing my sons if he wants to be back with me. Mom, l've enlisted in the Marines, he said softly, but proudly. All you have to do is sign a paper, because l'm only seventeen. You'll do it, won't you, Mom? lt's the chance to get away from here that you were always telling me about. And maybe you could even afford to move to a nicer place, away from here, with me gone. He was so eager to leave, to make a fresh start for himself. Every- thing within Mary revolted at the idea of sending him away. No, don't let him go, she thought wildly. You're giving up two sons. That's enough! But had she any right to refuse? She didn't wait to think much about it, she just said quickly, Of course l'll sign, Mike. This is your chance. and I would never stand in your way. You ought to get away from here. Before she knew it, Mike was gone, saying something about wanting to tell somebody. Mary walked slowly to the kitchen, and over to the window. The moon was just rising as the L roared by, carrying sleepy war-workers from their jobs. It was a haughty train, the L, with its grit and grime, but tonight, it seemed friendly to the lonely woman by the window. ln the distance, the tall apartment buildings twinkled with a thousand lights. She wouldn't be moving there, Mary thought, but she would move closer, and who knew ?-Some day, maybe, she would be living in one of them, with three fine, successful sons coming to visit her every Sunday. And below her, an L rushed by, roaring its approval of her hope. SHIRLEY OSWALD. 5 I-I 1 as L vi-i N was si: ri 4 . A Z5 in ' 'fs' ' ,, .

It was his shell hole, his own personal little shell hole, and the Japs had put it there just for him. Of course, the Japs had hoped he'd be in it when it was under construction, but both fate and John Lehman found great pleasure in disappointing the small yellow men. Today, thought John, is Christmas Day, and all the folks back home are having a good time. I wish I were there, but I've a job to do. He stopped musing long enough to take aim at a Jap and dropped him skillfully. John thought about home a lot more these days than when he'd been working hard at the training school in the States. He'd also read a lot of stories in magazines about what home meant to a soldier. The nuts! he'd told himself. They were all wrong. When John thought of home it meant all the things people tried to tell about, all these things mixed up, but most of all it meant just a good feeling inside of him, and a couple of extra-special memories .... Jo, short for Joanne, John's kid sister, was up early that morning, puttering around her room. John came down the steps about 9:30. Church bells were ringing all over the place. Somehow, he always re- membered those church bells. He walked into the living room and perched himself on the arm of the sofa, watching the fun. Jo was somewhere out in the kitchen by this time. When she came in, there was a smile on her face that stretched from ear to ear, and her cheeks were flushed and merry. She carried a tray of Christmas cookies, still hot, that she'd baked herself. John gave a yelp and grabbed a handful. His lingers struck something hard where something hard shouldn't have been. He fished it out. It's my Christmas present for you, she said .... It was a wrist watch, the waterproof kind, and even now he wore it on his wrist. She'd worked all summer to earn the money for it when she'd learned he was going into the army. John remembered everything she did, or said, that morning very vividly. But there were other memories. . . . Mary Ann looked up into his face, searched it closely for any sign of humor, and finding none, for he was dead serious, answered, Yes. He remembered her honest blue eyes. They were married in November, last November, and now it was December, going on the second year .... He'd said goodbye just before he sailed in September for points un- known, and here he was in the East, on an island, whose name the censor always scratched out of his letters .... 44 Another bullet whistled overhead. The Lieutenant yelled a command and John jumped from his shell hole, bidding his temporary home a sor- rowful farewell as he clambered up the side of a hill. Another bullet whizzed, and John fell head first over the crest of the hilltop .... Somewhere in America, a child was born on Christmas Day . . . and his name was J ohn-J ohn Lehman, Jr. But there are others, there is more to tell .... In Italy, at the foot of a great mountain, a Frenchman and his com- rades, wearing uniforms given them by the United States, were hard in battle with the enemy, the Boche. Jean Voisin, he was called. John the Neighbor, friend of any Frenchman loyal to France. Now, lighting his way up the side of the mountain, he remembered the circumstances that had brought him here, so far from home, on Christ- mas .Eve .... Jean had been a shipyard worker in St. Nazaire, occupied-France. The Boche had forced him to work for them, forced him to work hard, from dawn to dusk with only time to get home before the curfew. His mother and father, brothers and sisters? All dead. The invasion had been brutal in its own way-starvation. Jean might have been any Frenchman, any Frenchman at all, except perhaps that he was a little older than some, and a little younger than others. One evening, on his way home, an air-raid had caught him unawares. The shrill screech of a close bomb tore at his eardrums . . . he threw him- self to the ground . . . then the crash of splintering glass and splitting wood. Jean had buried his face in his arms, his dark hair falling over one sleeve of his green jacket. A scream followed the explosion so closely that the two sounds seemed but one. As soon as the debris stopped falling from the sky, Jean jerked up his head. A little girl laid not twenty feet from him, pinned beneath the body of a dead woman. The child could not have been more than eight years old. When Jean freed her from the corpse, he found she had blood all over her dress, her hands, her hair, evidently the woman had been carry- ing her. Jean got the ration books from her purse and took Elise home with him, soon arranging for her to stay with the invalid lady, who lived upstairs, while he was at work. But Elise died in a few weeks of a combination of cold and starva- 45 tion. And Jean spent the next few months, sometimes most of the time, for that matter, going out, at the risk of his life, long after dark. One night, as he slept iitfully in the old, old bed, a soft tapping came at his door just as he reached the climax of his nightmare, scaring the wits out of him. He tripped over a chair on his way to the door. Yawning sleepily, he groped half-heartedly for the door-knob, and Finding it, forgot to unlock the door before he yanked at it. He finally got the thing open, and a breathless little man scurried in. You're Jean Voisin ? puffed the grim little person as if he hadn't studied pictures of him for an hour and memorized a description of him. Uh-huh, affirmed Jean, yawning again. 'Tm from the Underground, he said. We've just finished checking up on you, and if you're willing, we've got a job for you to do. Upon seeing Jean's eager, though sleepy, expression, he proceeded to lay out his plans. The night, though the stars were shining, seemed cold and imper- sonal. It was as if the tiny pin-points of light were only electric bulbs high above on a great glass dome, covering a piece of earth absolutely devoid of sound but for the tramp, tramp, tramp of the Boche guard as he patrolled the shore, and the gentle slap-slap-slap of the ocean waves. It was extremely quiet, the lull before the storm, or so it seemed to Jean Voisin as he crouched beneath a protecting shrub. At exactly ten o'clock those footsteps stopped forever. Jean ad- vanced to meet the Commandos .... On the other side of the estuary the guns, German guns, began firing before the British were able to land. Now, the warning had been flashed across the river mouth and bullets began whizzing by J ean's ears. It wasn't until he spotted the German just behind the Captain and jumped up, with a warning cry, to do something about it, that he felt a stinging sensation as a bullet snapped by, and a dull impact between his shoulders. He fell, unconscious, over the edge of the ditch he'd taken refuge in. The last thing he remembered was someone reaching up and lifting him gently, drawing him back to cover. He woke up on his way to England, which soon led him to be in Italy, fighting the Germans from a different direction, in another way, but fighting the Boche, just the same. Christmas Eve, about ten o'clock, in Italy, so far from France. How 46 he longed to be sleeping in the old, old bed, or having a good time with his family and friends as they waited until time for the Midnight Mass. ak :iz :ic In Russia, Yaraslev this friends called him Yaraj Duobrovsky was in the front lines, watching the shells whistle overhead. Yara and his men fYara was a Captainj, had been advancing, lately. Their job it was to get a little well-placed sniping before the armed, armored, mechanized, and just plain vengeful army reached the spot. lt was time, now, to go out across the lines again and take their toll of German lives. Christmas Eve, and time to go out and kill a few more of the enemy. Christmas Eve, and time to murder, kill, slaughter the Nazis in any pos- sible way. And yet, the sooner it was done, the sooner Yara and his Comrades could return to their wives and children, to the merry Christ- mases of the old days, with the dances, and vodka, and foolishness that he remembered so well. He started off into the night with two of his comrades. Ten minutes later a shot rang out .... The man lay dead at his feet, but Kurt Ritter was not glad, not proud, to have killed another Communist. This was Christmas Eve, and though the Fuehrer denounced Christ and his ways, Kurt was still what his father and mother had taught him to be, at least the shell, or the partial remains, but still he remembered the old things .... There had been plenty of food then, before Hitler's rise to power. Oh, how Grandma Ritter had spread that table, with all things imagin- able and some more tossed in for good measure. Turkey, and goose, and mutton, and veal, beef and sausages, potatoes, and turnips, kohlrabig cel- ery, parsley, onions, cranberries and cranberry sauce, gooseberry jelly, and peach and plum pies, and . . . and a million other things he couldn't even remember .... What I wouldn't give for only a beef sandwich! he thought, stoop- ing over the dead man. Just a man, he thought. Nothing more .... And for that I had to kill him .... What a crime to be human, to be just a man! he said ironically. 244 Dk Pk And in Holland? In Holland a small boy ran along the dike in the dark, a brindle kitten that had wandered off in the night clutched tightly to his breast. A German Guard, seeing only the fleeing figure, out of doors long after curfew, leveled his gun, took aim, and fired. Jehan, the boy, dropped over the ledge of the dike into the sea. Only the mournful cry 17 of a brindle kitten, left friendless in the blackness of the night, gave evi- dence that he had been there at all. A brindle kitten crying frightenedly at the moon, crying for a friend on Christmas Eve .... Hans Ritter strode to the dike and discovering his mistake, scooped the tiny cat into his arms, secluding her in the warmth of his jacket .... Wonder where Kurt is tonight. Tonight, of all nights. The last I heard from the family he was on the Russian front, but that was so long ago . . . so long ago. . . . On a plain in Palestine a shepherd softly played his pipes, and his brother, Judah, quietly hummed the mournful tune .... You seem sad tonight, Naphtali, said Judah. What are you think- ing about? Naphtali did not reply at once. It was cold on the hilltop, the shepherd drew his cloak more closely to himself. A star shone in the sky, a great star among many less bril- liant ones, all plainly seen in a sky clear with the blue of a frigid night. A light winked on somewhere in the city to the east over the plain. There was the click of hoof against stone as some tiny kid, off in the darkness, snuggled a little closer to its mother. Naphtali paused suddenly in his playing, and murmured to his brother. It is the birthday of Him Whom the Gentiles call Lord, he said, and again became silent. Then picked out a tune on his pipes. A moment later he stopped again and said to Judah, his companion: The wise men of the city say there is a mad man in power over part of the earth, and that many of our race are dead because of him. He fingered his pipes, blew a few notes as he mused, a weird refrain wended its way up to the star. It seemed that close, so clear was the night. They say there are people in Amayreeka . . . he mispronounced the word in just that way, giving it the accent of his language . . . some of our people, too, who are at war with the Mad One. They say there are many nations of the world at war with the nation of the Mad One. Judah had been lying on his back, gazing at the star, and listening silently as his brother spoke. Finally he reached up and laid his hand on the arm of his brother. Naphtali broke oiT, his newest sentence incom- plete. Judah spoke. I have it from my grandfather, who had it from his great-grand- father, and so on back for many hundreds of years and for many genera- 43 tions, that it was just such a night as this when the spirit, an angel of gold and brilliance, appeared to the shepherds on this very hill. He told them of a child born in the city yonder, Bethlehem of Judea, and they left the herds and found the child in a stable manger, wrapped in swad- dling clothes. Some wise men from the East, men of great wisdom and honor, worshipped the child and called him Saviour. I have it from my grandfather, who had it from his great-grandfather, back for countless generations and many hundred years? Each occupied his thoughts with this bit of tale. A frightened bleat sent Judah off into the night. He returned, a shivering kid beneath his arm, and again taking his place beside Naphtali, wrapped his cape around himself and the tiny animal. At midnight the star seemed to glow, clear and palpitating, twinkling far in the blue stratosphere, the vastness of the night sky . . . yet it seemed so close . . . tonight, of all nights. Naphtali resumed his playing, and Judah hummed quietly to the mournful tune .... For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. SUZANNE PFEIFER.

It pleased God in His wisdom to take her from this earth on September 25, 1943. Miss Meenach's loss cannot be underesti- mated, as she had knowledge from extensive travel and education and was loved by all who knew her. I personally had the privilege of having her as a teacher, friend, and director in Cleveland's musical productions. Miss Meenach had warm friends all over the countryg she was widely known and the suddenness of her death was a shock to all. While she was on her deathbed, she was making plans for our fall production. Miss Meenach's thoughts were ever turned to Cleveland and Cleveland's thoughts will ever turn to her unselfish work in making Cleveland High School what it is today.

This year our aim has been to make the Beacon a book of interest to everyone. The names and pictures of all the students of Cleveland High School are meant to be included. Naturally, we place emphasis upon the graduates because, in years to come, this issue will bring back memories of their happiest days. But we wish to stress the fact that the year book is published for all, and that everyone of us, in some way, is a part of it. Our selection of a theme was rather difficult. We thoughtfully con- sidered numerous topics of varied fields and hnally decided upon Alaska as an appropriate subject because of its importance in our present world conflict. Alaska's worth in natural resources was shown before the war, but, now, we are constantly reminded of her value as a military base. In order to facilitate transportation, the great Alaskan Highway was built by the United States Army. It illustrates further the diminishing dis- tance between Alaska and the United States and the hand of fellowship which each country extends toward the other. It is natural. therefore, that we should enjoy learning more about the people and the customs of this forty-ninth state. In short, we have endeavored to make the 1944 Beacon your year book, and one in which you will take pride. SPONSORS MISS EVEIIYN FITCH .... . .. ,...... . ..................... ............ ........

The Orange and Blue is a bi-weekly publication of the Work of the Advanced Composition O classes, although anyone in the school has the privilege of contributing. This year the paper reached a subscription list of 1900, the highest in fifteen years, and was due to the fine and hard work of Vernon Kiebler, Business Manager, aided by the alternate Student Council Representa- tives under the direction of the business sponsor, Mr. J. D. Bragg. The staff elected by the school for 1943-1944 are: Jim Seeley, editor, Pat Dowling, associate editor, Vernon Kiebler, business manager. The appointed staff of about twenty are selected by the sponsors, Miss Julia D. Pryor and Mr. John D. Bragg. The two staffs are responsible for making up and getting out the issue. Today the Orange and Blue has a job to do in the war effort. All War drives, such as the sale of war bonds and stamps, salvage campaign, paper collection, silk stocking drive, etc., are given both urge and pub- licity. Clevelandites in service are written-up and many of them receive the paper through various clubs and teachers. Bound editions are kept as a record of the school's history.

Every Thursday morning at 8:15 a. m. the members of the Student Council can be seen on their way to room 300 to attend the Weekly meet- ing. At these meetings the problems and suggestions of the coming week are discussed. The Student Council is doing its part for the war effort. It has helped to make the American Junior Red Cross more active at Cleveland. The Council has done much to promote the salvage drives, but the most im- portant thing of all is the campaigning the Representatives have done in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. These campaigns have helped to make the school go over the top. The Student Council takes an active part in the ticket sales for the school performances that are presented each term. The Representatives are responsible for the sale of tickets for the football and other athletic games for the operettas and all other school functions. The officers of the Council are: President Ray Williams, Vice-Presi- dent Doris Zorn, Secretary Betty Zimmer, Treasurer Don McKenna, Sgt. at Arms Bob Smith.

When We surpassed our S160,000 goal of last term, by purchasing S218,000 Worth of bonds, the school voted to buy two ambulance planes this term at S110,000 each. From the number of bonds purchased thus far We will pass our goal again. One of the tasks which the Council has set for itself is the compila- tion of a new Handbook to be used by students entering Cleveland. Much helpful information is being gathered. The Work is under the direction of Ralph Sleyster, who is chairman of the Constitutional Committee. Jane Bode is Secretary, and Richard Hoffmann is Treasurer. Phyllis Osborn has charge of the Red Cross Work and Bob LaRoche is directing the Welfare Committee. Elmer Von Doersten is doing an excellent job as President. 147 ssilftdelflf C8l'5 Row 1: BETTYE TOLLMAN, WVILMA HEAI-'E, ARLINE SVHMIDT, YYONNE JOHNSTONE.

The Student Officer Organization provides for those students of Cleve- land who have shown themselves to be trustworthy, an opportunity to help their school and their school-mates. For it is the duty of the Student Officers to post a guard at each of the entrances of the school every period of the day. n Those Officers who volunteer to help at Cleveland's semi-annual shows spend one night outside guarding an entrance. By outside we do not mean outside the building but simply out of the aud, with a post of duty in the halls. The other night is spent inside, that is, sta- tioned within the auditorium to enjoy the performance. The only duty of a Student Ofiicer on his or her night inside is to maintain peace and quiet in that portion of the auditorium where he, or she, is stationed. The Student Officers are, as always, led by very efficient officers. George Sanftleben, the president, is now serving in this oiiice for his second consecutive term. Betty Kreitmeyer is handling the secretarial problems with speed and efficiency, Warren Kaiser is in the rather envious and very trustworthy position of treasurer. Mr. Hellmich is sponsor.

The Student Court is the third and last organization through which students participate in the governing of Cleveland High School. The Student Court attempts to help and to guide students by giving advice and friendly counsel, by discussing with them their problems of misconduct or irregularity and by suggesting or advising means of correct- ing these difficulties. The great majority of the cases that come before the court are merely small infractions on Cleveland's code of good citizenship. Therefore, the members, must possess an ability to explain the logic of necessity of such a code. It is a task that requires tact, sincerity, and good-will. These pupils served in these respective offices during the fall and spring terms: William Meek and Wayne Hudgins as Chief J usticeg Don- ald Leemann, David Wiebracht, Dorothy Kuenne, Oreon Hilgert, James Burgess, Wayne Hudgins, Ralph Imhof, Robert Smith, Dorothy Lee Muel- ler, Tom Shannon.

Well. the meetings of Alethinae, the oldest club at Cleveland, are enjoyed by every member. At three-fifteen on every other Thursday our meeting is called to or- der by our president, Arline Krumm. The minutes of the previous meet- ing are read by the secretary, Betty Zimmer, and then roll-call is taken. Each member responds to the roll-call with a quotation from a poem or story by some well-known writer. Following the treasurer's report by Jean Snodsmith, is a presentation and discussion of any business requir- ing our attention. Quickly settling the business we turn to our vice- president, Florence Silhavy, for our program. We have a program for each meeting and every girl participates in one or more of these during :he term. Our programs are book reviews, discussions centering around current events or things of interest, or if a holiday is in the near future we have a program commemorating that day. The fall initiation was conducted by Elma Mae Henderson, Char- maine Mohrman and Anita Temberlin. Its theme was Country and the initiates were compelled to dress as farm belles. They were taken down to the Webster-Hayne meeting where they had to tell of a typical day on the farm. The girl with the best story received a very lovely new yo-yo for a prize. The meeting concluded with a few games, songs, and refresh- ments. JEAN SNODSMITH, ELMA MAE HENDERSON. 152 VLVLCL 0lfUd,l 6! ,SZGW How 1: DORIS ZORN.

Anna Howard Shaw is a club Whose primary purpose is to bring its members pleasure along the lines of dramatics. Plays are given each term for the freshmen group and from these performances and others just among ourselves, the girls receive valuable training. The members of Anna Howard Shaw greatly enjoy the Webster- Hayne Party and the Initiation and Senior Parties, all of which are regular term affairs. Also there is a tea given annually for the mothers of the girls belonging. Our colors are silver and blue, and our motto: Suit the action to the work, and the work to the action. These girls served as oflicers during the fall and spring terms: Dorothy Kuenne and Dorothy Maehringer as Presidentg Shirley Coquelin as Vice-Presidentg Mayrose Blank and Colene McKenney as Secretaryg Shirleyanne Kulhoff and Mayrose Blank as Treasurerg Dorothy Maehrin- ger and Pat Hoff as Sergeant-at-Armsg Billy Klayer as Keeper-of-Roscoeg Evelyn Holzer as O. and B.

Demonstra- tions are put on for the benefit of the rest of the club. These demonstra- tions usually illustrate some fact in chemistry and are often amazing or amusing. Perhaps it seems hard to believe that such materials as rayon or glass could be made during one of these demonstrations. Can you imagine seeing ethyl alcohol being made from potatoes, or casein glue and cold water paint made from milk? Did you know that three distinctly unlike materials-sugar, starch, and a piece of bread contain a very black sub- stance which is carbon? Chemistry plays an important part in saving lives in the great world conflict which now rages. Who hasn't heard of the miraculous sulfa drugs-atabrine, which is a substitute for quinine, and the marvelous new drug, penicillin? The chemical industries have made great progress in recent years. Some of the developments are plastics, synthetic rubber, new dyes, higher octane gasoline, new fibers and fabrics. Chemistry plays a truly important part in our daily lives. The members of the Chem. Club are serious about their work, how- ever. The Club subscribes to a very good chemistry magazine and any member may borrow a book from the very complete chemistry library. Topics relating to chemistry are often given at the meetings. OREON HILGERT. 134 CPL CIAA ROW 1: JEAN LEE AULD, SARAH ANN GREEN, RUTH KARRENBROCK, MARION BREDIEMEYICR, SHIRLEY GENTNER. PHYLLIS LIGHT.

Each term we have a party for the new members. The officers of the club are now Jean Moll, President, Jeanne Bredemeyer, Vice-Presi- dent, Pat Dowling, Secretaryg Melanie Beckemeier, Treasurer, Virginia Heller, Sergeant-at-Arms, Pat Austin, O. and B. Reporterg and Miss Rich- eson, our Sponsor. This term and the preceding term, besides just cooking for ourselves, we made cookies for the boys in service. We were divided into different groups, each group making a different kind of cookie. The familiar shouts of Where is the sugar? or Goodness, my cookies are burning! are frequently heard. We compete to see which group has the most delicious cookies. Since rationing, we have had the problem of points, but our mothers have contributed a few, which is enough to fill our needs. Q Besides the regular cooking meetings we also have a wiener roast once a term and a tea in honor of Mothers' Day.

Every Thursday morning at 8:15, a group of students interested in gaining information about various colleges and universities may be seen in Room 122 pouring over delightful bulletins which describe college life in all its phases. The Club has catalogues and booklets from almost all the universities and many of the colleges of the nation. Representatives from out-of-town colleges, as well as many Cleve- land faculty members, have talked to the club this year. The purpose of the club is to help students who are interested in going to college to find out about different colleges and universities and what they offer and which one will suit them best. All Cleveland students are invited to come in any Thursday morning and get acquainted with other college-minded Cleveland students and also become familiar with the folders, catalogues, bulletins, and information on scholarships and awards.

On Oct. 26, sixteen members of Goodfellowship went to Kingdom House after school to give a HalloWe'en party for the small children. Each girl brought a nice shiny apple and a nickel or a dime noisemaker. Under the direction of Dorothy Kuenne, the President, and Jane Bode, the Secretary, the children played Farmer in the Dell. After a rest period, Marie Schultz, the Treasurer, and Shirley Kuhloff, the Vice Presi- dent, led the children in singing some songs. Then Jean Bunyard, the Orange and Blue Reporter, and Willette Klayer, an active member, in- duced the children into playing London Bridge. After that the children had an amateur show and some of them received prizes. The children were then given a bag with a noise maker, an apple, a popcorn ball and a lollipop in it. They were contented and the members bid them goodbye and then left. This is just one of the many things Goodfellowship does. In early spring last year we gave an Easter party for some little children. For a remembrance of the party each member made a stuffed animal for the children. Refreshments were served, after which there was entertain- ment. The purpose of Goodfellowship Club, sponsored by Miss M. I. Mann, is to help our fellow man. Goodfellowship meets every Tuesday after school in Room 5. JEAN BUNYARD. 157 Ol tA0gl 6L,9 g How l: lil l'H BECK, LOIS XYANINGICR. IXIARY STOl l'ICMIQYICR, IWICLOIHGS BARDOL.

Cleveland's Spelling Club, under the eyes of President Dorothy Mc- Dowell and Sponsor Mr. Mark Moody, is heading for a lot of competition and an interesting time. Each year, during the fall term, members of the Orthography Club representing Cleveland High School prepare for an elimination contest which is held in the following spring. This contest is held between schools of St. Louis and St. Louis County. Up to twenty teams compete against each other in regulated spelling matches. In each of these matches two teams compete against each other on radio station KSD, the sponsor of the contest. The winner of this group will later meet a winner of another group. This continues until a winner who has out- spelled all of the other teams has been reached. The objective of the Orthography Club is to give Cleveland students a chance to find out more about the spelling, pronunciation, and the origin of words. The knowledge gained here will be an invaluable aid now as well as in later years.

The club Phyla is an outgrowth of the Girls' Physiology Club. When this club was started, health education was not a part of the daily cur- riculum. When everyone had health education, the work of the club had to change and an interest in the living things about us offered a study for the club. As time went on, girls seemed to become more interested in psychology rather than in physiology. At the present time almost any matter of human interest may become the main topic of a single meeting. Lately, however, holidays, etc., prevented meeting on Thursday and for this reason our few meetings have been of social character. The Christ- mas Party was a real success. There was singing around the Christmas tree, a delightful spread, stories, games and so on. The football queen is President. Doris Zorn, President, Alma Ech- dahl, Vice-Presidentg Hortense Schumacher, Secretary, Audrey Reily, O. and B. Reporter, Miss Tensfeld, the Sponsor. The main object of the club is to create an interest in living things in general, hence the name Phyla, and in the human being in particular. DELORES WEGMANN. 159 fem ofa Huw lg .IIRI SICELEY.

Although there is a shortage of ammunition for civilian needs, the Rifle Club manages to secure enough for its various activities by going through much red tape. The club has a number of activities such as training the new mem- bers of the club, supervising the Drill Corps shooting and training the seventh and eighth term boys who are about to be inducted into the Armed Services. Each term new officers are elected. The present officers are: Pat Ruby, Presidentg Henry Campa, Vice Presidentg Bill Schatt, Secretaryg Edward Quint, Treasurer. The club has a team which is usually entered in several contests, some of which are the Hearst Trophy Match and the High School League. The club also has an individual match in which any member can compete for a special medal. RALPH MUELLER. 160 Cjltampiondlttya lam DOUGL.-XS ZI.I,-Xl,'K, PAT RUBY.

In the Na- tional Postal Match our team defeated 23 teams from the Seventh Corps Area comprised of the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri. This was the third time in as many years that Cleveland has taken first place. The course of fire was ten shots prone and ten shots standing and the team total was 903. Cleveland High School retained the custody of a magnificent trophy for one year and permanent possession of a small trophy, while each boy on the team received a brassard. In the local High School League, the season ended in a two-way tie between C. B. C. and Cleveland. In the shoot off, C. B. C. took first place and Cleveland took second. The same team also took second at the Washington University team tournament. Two members of last year's team have graduated and the success of this year's team depends on the new shooters who are develop- ing into excellent riflemen. l 161 .gincioggy Row 1: SHIRLEY OSNYALD, JEAN SNODSMITH, VIRGINIA EPPENSTEINER, BETTY JEAN KRIETEMEYER, BETTY ZIINIMER.

On October 29, 1943, at 3:10 p. m., the Sociology Club was officially opened by the Vice-President, Alice Walz. One of the members gave a brief but interesting topic on World Affairs. The usual procedure at a meeting is a discussion following the topic. After her speech, the Presi- dent, Warren Kaiser, relieved the Vice-President of her duty. He had the minutes read by the Secretary, Dolores Specht, and the Treasurer, Hortense Schumacher, gave her report. After this, he chose a subject from the topics offered and it happened to be The Curfew Law. Warren started the debate by stating his own opinion of the proposed law. After several members expressed themselves, the new members grasped the idea and soon were fighting for the floor. Walter Konik, the O. and B. Rep., submitted an article to the school paper telling that the Sociology Club meets on even Fridays and explained the purpose of the Club. The motto of our Club is To know that we may better serve.

Rap, rap, rap-this meeting will come to order. This is what is heard when Loretta Hertel, president of the Sharpshooters' Club, opens the meeting. The minutes are read by Mary Mees, the Club's Secretary. The girls talk about things pertaining to their Work, such as who will shoot, and then Fern Meyer gives out the ammunition. Betty Cottet the Vice- President, closes the preliminary part of the meeting when the President isn't there. The line is set up and the girls begin to shoot. During the firing Delores Stoops and Loretta Hertel figure out the scores and post them on a blackboard. The Clerk, Rita Ems, files the targets after the girls have each had a chance to shoot. Betty Doerres is the O. and B. Reporter and Mr. Kincaid is the sponsor. When they have all said their good-bys the girls leave for home and the shop is closed. Kemper week has been cancelled for the duration. The girls regret this because the Week-end spent at Kemper was the high-spot of the year. This sport helps to develop good marksmanship, along with co-operation and sports- manship. BETTY DEMKO. 163 .9098 661, f0l'5 Row 1: DOROTHY INIILLER, GINNIE LEAF, JERRY GABRIS, CLIFF HAKE.

Each group is given a special job to do for the play and it must be done before the deadline. Some very beautiful scenery has been turned out for these plays. Another task of the stagecrafters is to make a stage setting or a mini- ature stage about twenty-four inches wide and twenty inches high. The scene used is usually from some noted opera or play. These are just a few tasks of the stagecrafters. In between times they do Red Cross work, such as making tray covers, holiday posters, favors and menu covers for the hospitalized soldiers and sailors. This group also makes the charts and posters for the bond and stamp drives, and for school athletics and entertainments.

Webster-Hayne is an organization concerned with the development of speaking ability. It also teaches the boys courtesy in listening with interest to whatever is being discussed. The programs usually include speeches on subjects selected by the speakers or suggested by the program committee. There is also the highly interesting grab-bag session. In this the members give impromptu talks on various topics which are drawn from a box. The subjects range from anything about the wild life of a rhinoceros to up-to-the-minute war discussions. Perhaps the best-known program given by Webster-Hayne is its Mock-Trial. Most of the fun in giving the trial is the impromptu wise- cracks and answers which continue all through the trial. The trial is usu- ally to try a person who has done some crime which should be punished by law. Through the merriment and hilarity, the case is always solved somehow, and everyone leaves the program highly amused. The thing that the Webster-Hayne boys look forward to most, next to the Mock Trial, is the annual term party. This party is given for the boys, and also for the girls of Anna Howard Shaw.

Happy laughter from young throats, and delighted chuckles and ap- plause from the old folks, whose hearts are always young, constitute the most beautiful and vital part of W. E. O. C. It isn't often a group of young girls will get together, work up a program and pay all expenses to entertain a group of old people. But that is just exactly what the W. E. O. C. girls do. It's fun to save a few dimes for W. E. O. C. dues, and it's fun to sing and recite pieces. It's fun to plan tempting refreshments and make cakes. lt is an inspiring sight to walk into Memorial Home at 3:30 on the day of our visit and see our appreciative audience sitting there waiting since early afternoon for the treats we have in store for them. We make visits twice a year to the Home, one at Christmas and one in May which we call our Strawberry Festival. New members join twice a year. At the initiation party the Presi- dent. who is now Gloria Murray, explains the meaning and name of W. E. O. C. The rest of the oflicers are introduced at this party, too: Vice-President, Betty Demkog Secretary, Miriam Richmang Treasurer, Grace Riedyg O. and B. Reporter, Marian Nickolausg and Historian, Ber- nadette Lamping. Mrs. Wyllie is our sponsor.

The band has been having early morning rehearsals. Since some stu- dents cannot fit music into their regular programs, these rehearsals give such students time to practice with the band. Then, too, school spirit is boosted, for the students are given an opportunity to practice their school songs. This year, instead of marching on the field, the band held jam ses- sions in the stands at the football games. The members of the band marched in the Clean-Up Campaign. The outstanding event of the fall term was our participation in All In a Day's Work.

The Boys' Glee Club was one of the first classes to be hit by the neces- sities of war. Mr. Vernon J. Barrett, director of the Boys' Glee Club, was called by Uncle Sam and is now stationed at the Jefferson Barracks. Upon his leaving, the responsibility of Boys' Glee fell upon Miss C. L. Mann, who already had several music classes. Being short a teacher means that Boys' Glee will be disbanded for the duration of the war at the end of the fall term. The Boys' Glee Club has done some line work for Cleveland and will be missed by a lot of the fellows. Last year it appeared in the Christmas programs, in numerous school auds, and at KFUO, the Victory Varieties, and at Southwest. Though the Boys' Glee Club itself was not chosen for the third night performance, a small ensemble of twelve boys was chosen to reappear. This year the Glee Club has appeared in All in a Day's Work and the Christmas Program, giving excellent performances in both. With these two appearances, Boy's Glee Club bids farewell to Cleveland for the dura- tion in hope that it will be permitted to represent Cleveland once again when the war is won.

Under the direction of Miss C. L. Mann the girls have learned Willie Take Your Tiny Drum, I Heard a Forest Praying and some Bach Chorales. Sr. Girls' Glee is a very excellent choir With Marie Schulz, the Presi- dent, in the second sopranos, and Shirley Weiss, the Vice-President, Mary Kiess, the Secretary, and Marie Holloart, the Librarian, in the alto section. For the school Christmas entertainment the girls sang Willie Take Your Tiny Drum, O Holy Night and The Coventry Carolf, The girls are planning a recital and tea for their mothers. JEAN BUNYARD. l70 A Cjalofoeffrt oir A Cappella Choir is composed of about one hundred and forty-five members and is the largest musical organization at Cleveland. It has built up an excellent reputation for itself through its outstanding work at pub- lic performances. It has been chosen for some of the more important musical programs in St. Louis and has always come through in the best of form. Last term's choir was selected to sing at the Jefferson Barracks' Easter Sunrise Services, and for that performance all members were re- quired to be in front, of the school at 5 215 a. m. They were taken to the Barracks in buses. The choir was on an outdoor stage, facing rows of seats which were placed in a semi-circle. The choir sang several hymns during the services and were congratulated by the pastor on their fine form. A Cappella made several other appearances during the term, one of which was at a U. S. 0. Center on a Saturday afternoon. But, despite the fact that they were forced to get up as early as 4 200 a. m. on one occasion, and to leave their Saturday's work and play on another, very few mem- bers missed either performance. Also, the Cleveland choir was the only A Cappella Choir chosen to return for the third nightis performance of the Music Festival, held at Southwest. Most of the credit for the unusual success of the choir should, beyond doubt, go to Miss C. L. Mann, the director. Her patience, understanding, and good humor go a long way towards putting into the choir that certain spirit that makes a musical organization good. As usual, new oliicers were elected for this term's work. Bob Schuh was almost unanimously voted into the honored ofiice of president and the rest of the oiiicers are as follows: Bill Wiley, Vice Presidentg Jane Brewer, Secretary, Melanie Beckemeier, Secretary, Don Troeger, Libra- riang Bill Watt, Librarian, Ken Meng, O. and B.

If the weather isn't cloudy and the temperature is above sixty degrees, members of the Girls' Archery can be seen south of the tennis courts developing skill with a bow and arrow. Each semester regular members of the club, together with the help of the Sponsor, Miss Kilpatrick, at- tempt to organize a club excelling that of the previous term, composed of archery enthusiasts. After but a few weeks of indoor instruction about the fundamentals of Archery, the girls, who, for the first time, are being acquainted with a bow and arrow, are eligible to participate in target practice on the campus. This term remarkable ability and progress were shown in that many of the new members have a bull's eye to their credit. From early September until late Fall, when the weather becomes un- comfortable, the club enjoys many beautiful days out-of-doors, which proves the club is not only energetic but that Archery is a captivating sport. Each girl who succeeds is a true lover of the bow, as the name Toxopholite implies. DORIS GUSTIN. 172 N A CA... CM How 1: VVILLIABI JEUITE, CALVIN ARHORNEBEEH, EUGENE SPEUHT, XYILLIAM K.

Ray was a member of our club for four years and became the strongest player that our club has developed. During the past two years he par- ticipated and made a very creditable showing in the city tournaments. In our own tournament last term, he won all his games and was given a year's subscription to the Chess Review as a prize. He is at present in Texas doing his basic training in the Army Air Corps. We have had several letters from Arthur Tabbert who graduated in 1932. Arthur is now with the Finance Department of the Army in North Africa, and is endeavoring to develop an interest in chess there. In his last year he wrote that he had started a club and that he had participated in a simultaneous exhibition with the young American chessmaster, Pvt. Olaf I. Ulvestad. According to the January number of the Chess Review, Pvt. Ulvestad has given two simultaneous exhibitions, each against 25 contestants. Over 100 men attended each demonstration. The audience was particularly impressed by Ulvestad's specialty-a blindfold 'quickief The youthful chessmaster plays one game blindfolded at the lightning pace of live seconds a move! The interest is so great that three more exhibitions have been arranged. Eugene Andrew, a member of our club for four years and donor of six of our chess sets, is a lieutenant in the Army. He is at present train- ing as a bombardier in New York State. Thus is Cleveland's Chess Club contributing to the war effort. 173 , w i f is X 2:3-' v f f 6 X if +5 D 0 IQ T jooflaff Row 13 CALVIN COHAN, BOB VOLZ, ROB SPARLIN, OLIVER JORCKE, CARL BLOCK.

The sky was clear and the Weather was unusually warm on that Fri- day night late in September. An enthusiastic gathering cheered as each of the competing teams appeared on the Held. This was the first league game of the season. Promptly at 7:45, Cleveland kicked off. All during that first quarter McKinley controlled the ball. Then just before the quarter ended, Cleve- land started a drive from midfield which resulted in a touchdown. The kick was Wide of the goal and the quarter ended with the score 6-0. The second quarter was more exciting, for several long drives brought in another touchdown. And then some time later a series of short passes helped Cleveland to be on the winning side With 20-0 at the end of the quarter. The third quarter was uneventful. In the fourth quarter a brilliant pass was made which brought the final score to 27-0. Bos SPARLIN. 176 6Luefanc! Qgdfin parade CLEVELAND VS. MCBRIDE fnon Leaguej Cleveland dropped its first game of the season, by a score of 6-0. The Dutch played good football but the McBride Colonaders scored that lone touchdown and held the Orange and Blue. CLEVELAND Vs. BELLEVILLE fnon Leagueb The Orange and Blue ventured to Belleville Township High School only to return home with their second defeat. The score 24-6. The Dutch played hard football but were no match for the Maroons. CLEVELAND VS. COUNTRY DAY fnon Leagueb Despite these two defeats the Dutch were not the least discouraged. They took the field against Country Day and defeated them 16-12. Our team began to perk up. CLEVELAND Vs. MCKINLEY The Dutch took the field against the McKinley Gold Bugs, knocking this team over by a score of 27-0. These were the real Cleveland fighting Dutchmen holding the Gold Bugs, pushing them back and ever dominating the field. CLEVELAND VS. SOUTHWEST After defeating the Gold Bugs, the Dutch dropped a game to South- west, 32-14. They weren't in very good form against the Long Horns. This was the only game where they did not look particularly good. CLEVELAND VS. CENTRAL Being beaten by Southwest, the Dutch were determined to defeat the Central Redwings and this they did by a score of 32-13. They were really in the groove. Thus, out of three league games, they won two and lost one. CLEVELAND VS. SOLDAN Again the Orange and Blue subdued an enemy eleven. They defeated the Tigers of Soldan, 26-19. The South Siders dominated the field all evening. This placed the Dutch in second place just beneath Beaumont. Only Roosevelt must be defeated to let us tie with Beaumont for first place. CLEVELAND VS. ROOSEVELT The Dutch were downed by the Roughriders, 13-O, in their hardest fought game of the season. The Dutch were driving and fighting all the way but just didn't have the punch to do what was needed. This put us in third place, crushing our chances for a Championship. CLEVELAND VS. BEAUMONT The Dutch were defeated by a very powerful ever-charging Blue- jackets eleven, 50-0. This was the last game of the season for Cleveland. Coaches: Messrs. Fenenga, White, Janson.

Not a single letterman was back from last year, Which made it very diffi- cult to select the school team. In order to find out Who Was to be on the team, we held a Round Robin Tournament. When the tournament Was ended, the team Was composed of Don Clark, first singles, Russell Crece- lius, second singlesg Jack Hemm, third singlesg with Warren Ober and Jack Eble, doublesg and Warren Winkler, alternate. Don Clark, who was made captain of the team, turned in a fine record. Despite stiff opposition, Cleveland's team is confident about the com- ing season, and expects to make a good showing. 178 jail The call for track members on February 1st was answered by some one hundred and fifty enthusiastic athletes. The spirit of these boys was the best, and a lot of credit should be given to those who stuck it out until the end as well as to Coach Ballin and his able associates, Coaches Neuman and Jansen. On May Sth, Cleveland sent a team to the State Meet. Our entries were: J. Baudendistel, 440-yard rung B. Coffey, pole vaultg B. Greenberg, 880-yard rung E. Von Doersten, shot-put, M. Buholzer and B. Miller, broad jump, and B. Jackson and E. Dowler, high and low hurdles. Our turnout for Field Day consisted of twenty-two participants. Cleveland placed seventh in total points scored. There was a lot of excite- ment and many close finishes. Cleveland walked away with one of the honors of the day when Joe Baudendistel took the 440-yard run against strong opposition. The hard-hitting team in the finals comprised the following groups: Seniors-B. Jackson, 120-yd. high hurdles and 200-yd. low hurdles, E. Dowler, 200-yd. low hurdlesg L. Lohaus, 120-yd. high hurdlesg J. Schmidt, 100-yd. dash and 220-yd. dash, M. Reitter, 100-yd. dash, G. Lof- tin, 140-yd. dash, J. Baudendistel, 440-yd. dash, B. Major, 1-mile rung B. Greenberg, 880-yd. rung B. Coffey, pole vaultg M. Buholzer, broad jump, E. Von Doersten, shot-putg A. Depke, shot-put. Juniors-J. Eble, 120-yd. low hurdlesg D. Schmidt, 100-yd. dashg R.

Amid the shouts and cheers from the sidelines, a brave Cleveland nine faced the pitching staff of the Beaumont Bluejackets. The excite- ment mounted. It was the first half of the ninth. Cleveland's last chance! Beaumont was ahead. Could the Dutchmen pull through? If they did pull through, could they hold Beaumont and win the game? These were just a few of the questions asked by the anxious crowd. Remember, this inning would tell the story. There wasn't much cheering from our side until then. Cleveland was determined not to have a shut-out game, so we really yelled. The first batter walked up to the plate. The pitcher wound up. We started counting out loud to make him nervous, but it didn't work, for the batter struck out. The second man was out at first base. The third man came up to bat. Everyone was standing up. A few of our players were afraid to look. The pitcher was getting nervous, and he pitched a slow one right over the plate. A deathly silence filled the air as the batter swung at the ball. It was good! A hit to center field. Everyone shouted as he rounded first and went on to second. Thank goodness, he was safe. The next batter got a single and the man on second moved to third. Our team really came to life. Two men on and two outs. Then Lloyd Lowe came up to bat. Lloyd was one of our best batters, and he really came through, this time. In fact, he got a triple, bringing the other two men home. Our spirits soared as the next batter picked up the bat. He was good at making home-runs, but he tried a little too hard. He was struck out. This was Cleveland's last game for the season. Even though we didn't carry off the championship and other honors, all of Cleveland can well be proud of the fine athletes that were on the team this year.

On October 4, 1943, the first call for the Swimming Team was an- nounced, to which about 38 candidates responded. Of this number only twelve splashed through to finish up the season. Of these twelve, eight boys received letters for their outstanding performance. These boys were Harry Keough, captain, Edgar Thielker, lieutenant, John Bollato, Elmer Breidert, Bill Stienbrueck, John Marsh, Warren Winkler, and Dave All- geyer. Don Koppen and Jack Auld also received letters, for they served as manager and assistant manager. Ray Williams, who was with the team earlier in the season, totaled up enough points for a letter, but was graduated before the City or State championships. The City Championships were held on Friday, February 25, 1944, with Harry Keough taking the only first place for Cleveland. He rated the top 100-yard free-styler in the St. Louis Public High Schools.

The team made a record of winning twenty-five consecutive games, which was the longest winning streak ever compiled by a local team. When the regular league season ended, a new city record was set. The Cleveland boys, led by Bob Schmidt and Ken Meng, won eighteen out of eighteen games in league and non-league competition, and were the only team in St. Louis High School Basketball History to complete their season undefeated. Besides being champions of the Public High School League, winners of the Red Division Championship of the Normandy Christmas Tourna- ment, they were titlists of the subregional and regional tournaments. The games drew the largest cage crowd in years. When, however, the Cleve- land team met Bismarck at Springfield, it was defeated. The team was especially adept in ball handling and passing and was very good at defensive. The first team was made up of Bob Schmidt, Ken Meng, Bill Hooten, Frank Dinyer and Bill Wiley. The second team consisted of Dick Mach- old, Harold Uthoff, Walter Roschke, Bob Sparlin and Vernon Kiebler. Coach Jansen did a splendid job in coaching his team and bringing it through so many victories. Several members of Cleveland's team were named on the local news- papers' All-Star Teams. They were Ken Meng, Bob Schmidt and Bill Wiley. Bill Auld, who graduated in January, also received recognition. 182 Cpiuefancfd lr!!! 601795 The Drill Corps at Cleveland was formed at the outbreak of the War to train boys at Cleveland in basic military tactics in order to help them when they are called by Uncle Sam. The Corps meets every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Monday is set aside for rifle shooting in which the boys in the Corps learn to be marksmen. Wednesday and Thursday are used as drill or classroom in- struction days. Drill does not merely mean marching in a line. It includes Extended Order, which consists of the different movements of the Army while on maneuvers, and Close Order, which is regular marching. The Corps, during its existence, has gone on several maneuvers to Carondelet Park, Cliff Cave, and various other places. A maneuver usually means dividing the Corps into two parts, one part being larger than the other. The smaller part forms the machine gun squad, the larger part forms the offense or attacking force. This develops skill in keeping out of sight of the enemy. There are many boys in Cleveland High who do not realize just how much the Drill Corps can help them. To these boys We can say that every- one Who has entered the service tells us just how much the Corps helped him get along in Army life. The oflicers of the Cleveland Drill Corps this year are Capt. Walter Harris and Lieut. Jack Hemm. Mr. Beers is the sponsor and Command- ant. JACK HEMM. lil!

The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization formed to create an interest in girls' athletics. Since 1927, the year in which it was organized by Miss Gunther and Miss Harrison, it has operated successfully. The G. A. A. Council has always operated on the basis of giving three awards which are as follows: small orange and blue C pin as the first award, orange and blue felt C as the second award, and a silver loving cup as the highest award. However, due to shortage of metals, no more cups may be purchased. Therefore, a vote was taken in all the Physical Education classes to decide upon a plaque, pin, necklace, ring or bracelet to replace the cup. The latter was chosen. At the first meeting of the 1943 fall term, the election of officers was held. The results were as follows: Myrleen Golfinopoulos, President, Florene Silhavy, Secretary, and Sally Anderson, Orange and Blue Reporter. There is an average of three meetings a term.

These are the familiar sounds heard in the swim- ming pool every Tuesday after school, when the girls have their weekly workout. This workout, which takes the first part of the period, usually consists of racing and practice of the different strokes. Life saving plays an important part of the activities. There are two teams under the leadership of Jean Kemper and Glenice Simmons, captains. However, if it were not for Miss Hehrlein, the sponsor, there probably would be little improvement in the girls' swim- ming strokes. Mary Mees is the present O. and B.

On October 7, 1943, the hiking club left Cleveland High and turned south. We had our instructions to go to Carondelet Park. It was very warm that day and we chatted with Miss Gunther, our sponsor, along the Way. One Thursday we hiked to Tower Grove Park. The day was Warm and colorful. The park was very beautiful with leaves covering the wind- ing paths. The lily ponds were still in bloom. Each hike is a little longer. In this Way We don't tire quite as easily as We would if we hiked to the farthest place first. The last hike will be the longest and we are going to the Board of Education Greenhouse. Marion Mueller. our Secretary, takes the attendance. Ruth Horn, our O. and B. Reporter, writes articles about the club for the O. and B. Verna Votruba is our G. A. A. Reporter.

ANTOINETTE BARTELS. 187 'r?..l.fl.ff The purpose of basketball is to teach sportsmanship, give health through vigorous exercise, and to practice the coordination of thought and action. Basketball has proved very interesting to many girls. There are two groups, the Monday teams, which are the beginners who are just learning the fundamentals, and the advance group who play the regular games. The girls get excitement, exercise, thrills, and spills all in the same game. It is a fast moving sport and one must always be on the alert. 188 jam .ZVLVLZJ There is plenty of keen competition between the players in table tennis and, also, a lot of breath-taking moments. It's a thrill to drive hard spike over and watch your opponent turn green with envy. Table tennis is a lot of fun, as Well as being good physical training, and is considered a favorite sport by many of the girls. The club is organized in September and meets weekly through the months of October and November. The class is divided into two groups. One of these groups meets on Monday and is sponsored by Miss Ulbricht. The officers of this group are: G. A. A. Representative, Shirley Sandersg Secretary, Mary Jane Wolfg Orange and Blue Reporter, Arline Drumm. The other group meets on Tuesday and is sponsored by Miss Gunther.

If you Want to become a good table tennis player and have a lot of fun, join the table tennis club next fall, when it will again be organized. MARIE ELMORE. 189 wr, M The girls' volley ball teams meet once a week immediately after school. There are eight teams and so there is plenty of competition. Each of the teams has a captain to keep the team organized. The captains are Grace Reidy, Jacqueline Donnelly, Betty Paglusch, Clarice Kenius, Darline Byrd, Helen Louis, Rita Schramm, and Gaynell Schulz. Only four of the teams can play at one time and while they play the other four are the audience. This is really a very effective arrangement because any team can play better if they hear some enthusiastic rooting for them. The games are always very exciting. The girls give enthusiastic sup- port to their team and their captain. Each captain makes the rules con- cerning the behavior of her team. The most important thing is the co- operation of the team. The most exciting game is at the end of the term when the two teams that have the highest number of winnings, play for the championship. This is truly the climax of the girls' volley ball season. The Wednesday Volley Ball Club is sponsored by Miss Gunther, and the Thursday, by Miss Hehrlein. AUDREY RENZ. 190 7 9.4 M., all Bowling is one of the many after-school activities oiered to the girls. The Tuesday Bowling Club was organized December 7, but the activi- ties did not start until January 4. Since this was the first time some of the girls bowled, Miss Gunther, the sponsor, took time to give them some helpful instructions. The officers elected were: Jackie Donnely, G. A. A. Representative, Shirley Selle, Secretary, and Miriam Richmann, Orange and Blue Reporter. They are proving their capability by keeping the club well organized. There are approximately eighty girls in the club, who bowl for after- school recreation, and for the general good times that go with such an enjoyable sport. There is also the Wednesday Bowling Club sponsored by Miss Ulbricht, and the Friday Bowling Club sponsored by Miss Gunther. AUDREY RENZ. 191 Rami' .gating Roller skating is one of the most popular and invigorating of all sports. In the past year, the demand for roller skating has greatly increased. Over 150 girls enjoy themselves on Friday afternoons from three o'clock until five. Although the girls do take tumloles once in a while, they seem to take it in their stride and go right on skating. Some of the girls, who are experts, can do such intricate steps as the waltz, the fourteen step, the split, and twirl. Some of the beginners attempt to do these steps and have made great progress. All girls who Wish to join this club are welcome. GLORIA KLOPMEYER. 192 KR KYWKX Aw AW f X. Wu Mffqilf W K WN 0, my yemwm U33 gfiifglglj x M Qg K xx SDECIAL EVENM?

Susanne Pfeif joofga Gi'0lLLllil:0l?, At seven o'clock, the doors opened and crowds poured in for the an- nual coronation of the Football Queen at Cleveland High School. This year there was a maid for each term. The queen's identity was kept a secret from the student body until she appeared before the royal court. The impressive strains of the Star Spangled Banner penetrated every- one's heart as Private V. Barrett, former music director at Cleveland, proudly led the band. Soon the curtain was drawn, showing a scene at Miami Beach. The throne was set off by a huge shell of delicate shades of pink and blue. On the throne sat the retiring queen, Jane Repple, looking exquisite in a white net gown. The sleeves were trimmed in dainty white lace while the drop shoulders were edged with tiny rufHes. She carried pink roses with white pompons and was proudly escorted by Roland Grass. Also in this huge shell sat the Captain of the football team, Elmer Von Doerr- sten, looking handsome in his orange and blue football uniform. At 8:00 o'clock, down the aisle came Cleveland's mighty football team and the members took their respective places on the stage. Before this court the king summoned the football maids. The first to walk down the aisle was Miriam Richmann, term five, and her escort, Kenneth Meng. Her gown was soft pink net with a bodice trimmed in rust-gold brocade. She wore elbow gloves of cloud pink, which went divinely with her ensemble. In her bouquet were peach gladiolas and yellow pompons. The next maid to be announced by Ray Williams, Student Council President, was Marcia Anderson, term three, and her escort, John Bo- latto. Marcia looked stunning in her white tulle-covered taffeta dress trimmed with two little red sequined bows placed daintily on the bodice and skirt. She carried white gladiolas and white mums. Then Lois Street, term six, made her graceful way to the throne. Lois looked charming in her blue formal. The bodice was figured taffeta while the skirt was chiffon and fell in neat folds from the hips. She car- ried a bouquet of pink gladiolas and yellow pompons. Her escort was Bob Neunhahn. ' The fourth maid to walk down the aisle was Betty Wichman, term four. Her gown was a limpid shade of green trimmed with a lace midriff. The shoulderless sleeves were also trimmed in lace. Her flowers were salmon colored gladiolas and yellow mums. Betty was on the arm of Bill Hooten. 196 Next to appear was Betty Belknap, term one, and her escort, Edgar Telthorst. Betty was attired in a white marquisette gown trimmed with delicate gold sequins. She carried a bouquet of lavendar gladiolas and white mums. Dorothy Nelson, term eight, appeared very demure in her pink gown with a black velvet bodice. On her brunette tresses she wore a Juliet cap trimmed in silver. Her bouquet was of peach gladiolas and violet pom- pons. She was proudly escorted by manly Bill Auld. Next to bow before the retiring queen was Rhoda Knippenberg, term seven. She looked very alluring in her blue net gown with tiny gold straps. She carried white gladiolas and burnt red pompons. Rhoda was assisted by Robert Schuh. Shirley Weiss, term eight, made her debut before the royal throne in a crisp blue net gown edged with many ruflies. Her flowers were red gladi- olas and white mums. She was escorted by Kenneth Wintermantel. The ninth maid was Betty Byrd, term two, and her escort, Cliff Hake. Betty looked very chic and quaint in her chiffon gown of luscious flame red. The bodice was shirred and set off with a round neck. She carried white gladiolas and white mums. The last maid to appear before the royal court was June Kleinpeter, term eight, and her escort, Bob Murphy. June wore a beautiful peach gown with a bodice of black velvet. In her bouquet were pink gladiolas and amethyst mums. At last the long-awaited moment arrived and down the aisle, carrying a huge bouquet of red roses, came the new football queen of 1943, Doris Zorn, and her escort, George Grosshaus. Doris looked breath-taking in a delicate heavenly blue net gown. Approaching King Von Doersten, she slowly bowed her head and the glittering crown was placed upon her Titian tresses. She took her place beside him amid thunderous applause. Barbara Jean Lange acted as crown bearer. The queen was then entertained with a ballet and novelty tap by mem- bers of the rythmic classics. Elma Mae Henderson sang the ever lovely Waltzing in the Clouds. This was followed by an entertaining trumpet solo by popular Walter Emmert. Dorothy Maehringer rendered the song, Only a Rose, in the same thrilling voice known throughout Cleveland. The popular American Legion Quartet sang some Negro ballads. Miss Carol Heidelberg sang that haunting Murder He Says. After this program, there was a pep session led by the able Mr. Schueneman and his peppy cheer leaders. The program then concluded with the Cleveland Loyalty Song' BETTY DEMKo. 197 on ugh mr All in a Day's Work was an educational fantasy given on November 18-19, 1943. At eight o'clock the lights dimmed, the bugles and drums rose to a crescendo and some members of the Drill Corps placed the flag on the stage. The members of the A Cappella Choir sang the National Anthem. As the lights came on there was a father and his two children talking in their living room. The father was explaining the School of Yesterday and the School of Today. In early days you went to school for reading, writing, and arithmetic, but in the schools of today you learn to prepare yourself for something you would like to be when you get out of school. The stage was set with three desks representing reading, writing, and arithmetic. In the background there were girls painting, sewing, and typing. Boys were doing wood- work and chemistry. There were signs carried across the stage, such as: War Bond Drive, Teachers' Convention, First Ration Book, etc. In the modern school we learn reading, writing, and arithmetic and a lot of other things that prepare us for the world when we leave school. One of the numbers on the program was presented in honor of our armed forces. The music was supplied by the Boys, Glee Club, which was standing at ease in rows four deep dressed in regulation Army uniforms. The first number was the Army Air Corps song. As the Glee Club sang, two boys, dressed in the neat uniforms of our Air Corps, marched from opposite sides of the stage, met in the center and turned to the front of the stage. They stood at military salute for the remainder of the song. Then came the Caisson Song accompanied by a pair of Artillery men from either side of the stage. Next came the Anchors Aweigh and the two Navy boys received a loud applause from the audience. Then came the Marine Song and a couple of those fighting leather-necks appeared on the stage. Then followed applause that only the Marines are awarded. Last on the program was the Coast Guard song, with the two Coast Guardsmen taking their places beside the other armed members. The act was ended by singing a part of the first stanza of America the Beautiful, with a special verse composed by Mr. Hares. One of the most interesting scenes in All in a Day's Work was A Sound Body for a Sound Mind. Coach Ballin told how hard you must work for physical education. He said that the people are realizing that in order to be healthy you must be strong. For the get fit or keep fit boy or girls, the Physical Fitness Program will bring wonderful results. 198 When the curtain was raised, about 50 boys dressed in shorts and shirts came running on the stage and did some exercises. Then six boys came out with boxing gloves and showed how to develop skill. After several minutes in that sport, the boys resumed their positions and took a few more exercises. With a loud yell, they ran off the stage, and then the cur- tain was lowered. Perhaps the most vivid scene enacted in Cleveland's presentation, All in a Day's Work, was School Spirit. This phase of the educa- tional fantasy used, as an example of school spirit, a football game. The stands were packed with enthusiastic Clevelanditesg a portion of the team opposing Cleveland, which was Soldan, could be seen on the stage fight- ing desperately to hold its ground. Despite the agonizing yells of the Cleve- land rooters, Soldan plunged across the goal line to tie the score in the last quarter. But with renewed cheering from the spectators, and an extraordinary effort by the team, Cleveland came back to win in the last few minutes of the game. The Religious scene in Cleveland's presentation of All in a Day's Work was one of the most effective scenes of the program. First, the Jewish religion was represented by a young boy performing a part of the ritual. Then followed a Catholic hymn, O Bone Jesu, sung by the members of Senior A Cappella Choir. The boys and girls, dressed in white choir robes, with two pale-blue lights shining down upon them and a light-blue curtain before them, made a very beautiful holy picture. Dur- ing the song a Catholic procession crossed the stage. The choir then ended the scene, singing Beautiful Saviour, which represented the Protestant religion. As the curtain parted on the last scene, a Iigure standing on a soap- box was revealed. Crowded around him were waitresses, Spanish people, housewives, debutantes, farmers, and members from many trades carried on in the United States. The iive doors in the auditorium were opened and in poured seamstresses, bartenders, artists, pilots, war workers, cow- boys, who listened to the speech. Then the strains of the ballad for Americans reached the ears of the audience. Bob Schuh began his interpretation accompanied by the A Cappella Choir and the Girls' Glee Club. The audience grew tense with feeling as the well-loved Ballad was sung. Then the final curtain was dropped. The applause was tremendous.

In wartime especially we need the Christmas message of peace, for We see now more clearly how peace is lost by injustice. how the tranquillity of order is destroyed by disregarding rights and duties. Even though you, the students of Cleveland, may not now be able to influ- ence the large world of economics and politics directlyg yet each one can begin to work toward the return of peace in the world by developing in yourself the basis for peace, by fixing firmly and acting upon principles of riht and justice in the immediate circle in which you live. 200 September 7 September 25 September 30 October 5 October 8 October 27 October 28 November 3 Jowlf Wemoriw Cleveland students returned to school to make a total enroll- ment of 2132.

Cleveland observed Navy Day with an impressive aud ses- sion. Paul Kueter played several selections on the piano and received thunderous applause. Could it have been his Navy uniform or his talent on the ivories, girls? The City-Wide Council was entertained and shown through Cleveland by members of the Student Council. The City- Wide Council is comprised of representatives of all the public high schools in the city and is N organized to discuss problems of the students. Colonel Hans Christian Adamson, a sur- vivor with Captain Eddie Rickenbacker on the life raft adrift in the Pacific for three weeks in 1942, spoke to an inter- ested audience about his experiences and the value of self-discipline. Col. Adam- son strongly urged all high school boys and girls to finish their education as a and their country.
