Science Unfolds Its Mysteries To Squeaky The science and math classes are popular this year. More and more the boys and girls are realizing that a thorough understanding of the general principles of math¬ ematics and science is an essential requirement for war workers and men in the armed services. The study of agriculture is another important phase of the war effort. The army marches on its stomach is a popular saying, and the boys in the agricultural classes are going to see that it keeps marching. Keep ' em flying and other expressions of airplane lingo are now buzzing around school since the beginning of the class in aeronautics. Squeaky is already practicing tailspins.

The Fountain Of Information Of C. H. S. Squeaky, like all other students, comes in contact with the principal and office force when he is in need of a permit—either for being absent, tardy, or various other reasons. I just overslept, The bus was late, Oh, I was sick in bed all day, are familiar words, or alibis, of the students. Now, Lorene, I got to school in plenty of time — by my watch. The school clock must be wrong, says Squeaky, raising doleful eyes to Lorene ' s unrelent¬ ing ones. Please give me a good permit . . . Jane Meyer? She ' s in room 111. She has French this period. Lucille Andrews is sixteen. I think she would be interested in after-school work and on and on goes the information that is revealed by the rec¬ ord file.

The record file is not an inactive piece of office equipment; it is vibrant and alive. It is the nerve center of the entire school.
