OFFMAN1 P'i fipt CHARLES K- K OFFICER OF THE DAY OFFICE OF PRINCIPAL fDoBgns-cbenneff bigh School CHARLES K. KOFFMAN. PRINCIPAL clfingaporf, Eennessee June 1, 19143 Students of Dobyns-Bennett: Our school and its program have been vitally affected by the changes and the demands of war time, but the students and faculty have done their best to carry on, and I think deserve praise for their work and morale. The situation caused by the entry of so many new students and teachers has had its effect upon the work in the classroom, and the ability to carry on the activity pro- gram. Our traditional student activity program has made many changes in practice and purpose to meet the needs of this year. Some few of these activities have been discontinued, others have gone on a restricted program and some new ones have been introduced. Our aim has been to direct the th:Ln1d.ng and utilize the ability of our group to the service of their community and nation. Our school pays tribute to its three hundred and fifty alumni who are now in the armed forces of our country, and feels that their service and sacrifice will be a motive for us to continue and do more in this time of need. Sincerely yours CKK:ll E !LA 2QKv5 M Page izurlvr'
