His tolerance and Wisdom signify all that we would strive to achieve. Beneath his business-like appearance you will find an amiable personality. He is one of our favorite counsellors. He helps us pick out an accredited college course or advises us on vocations. This year his office is full of alumni alnnost every day seeking recommendations or having blanks filled out by hint in order that they may enter some vocation or defense Work. W' e ap- preciate his Iielpfulness as we try to show the World our American spirit for Victory.

Then he raised his head on high, And he gave me this reply: What I was is naught to me, In this land of liberty. In my soul, as man to man, I am just American. if f f is WE WALE HAND IN HAN-15-POE VICTORY if f f if 4.

MARGARET M. MCHALE Our Competent Secretary R-r-ring, goes the telephone and Miss MCI-lale hurriedly answers with an effi- cient High School Office . Will you deposit this nloney for our class, please? And Margaret, the principal's secretary, willingly gives up a moment of her busy time. Typing business letters, filling out gasoline rationing blanks, getting out an- nouncements on time, making out checks, checking books and school supplies for the faculty, answering a hundred and one questions for the entire faculty, keeps her occupied the entire day. ln fact whotever the job may be, Miss Mcl-Iale is always ready to see that it is done.

REILLEY A Civic Leader All teachers report at the time and place specified on your notice f--H this statement is taken from the sugar and gasoline rationing circulars distributed uni' der the direction of lohn l. Reilley, Super- vising Principal of Conyngham Township Schools. The organization of the local sugar and gas rationing is just a small part of his work in the war effort. l-le feels that without the full cooperation of every man, woman, and child in the dis- trict we cannot expect to win this war. His duties are not centralized. His work often takes him to Bloomsburg, where he confers with other representatives of the Office of Civilian Defense program in Columbia County. Not neglecting the schools, he's always Willing to lend a help- ing hand and to contribute his share to- ward our common goal. The graduating class has a vote of thanks to extend to him for helping us as we progressed through our four years of high school.
