PEHRL HHRBUR WHEN WAR COMES AR is a terrible thing especially when it comes to our own door. It hasn,t come to Philadelphia but it has come to Honolulu. The first paper to come to us from a school in Honolulu was the Washington Hi Lights. In this paper was pictured the horrible ordeal of December seventh. During attacks by the Japanese there were no signs of panic even though many lost their lives and homes. If it was to come to Philadelphia I wonder how the people would react. Air raid drills arenIt taken seriously enough. In this issue of the PILOT we have many items concerning the Pearl Harbor attack. I hope that in the future everyone will take air raid drills more seriously. CATHERINE MOONEY, 9B3. ik The following headlines appeared in the Washington Hi Lights. Put yourself in the students, places for a moment. Sup- pose you saw these headlines in the PILOT. What would you do? Read over the following headlines and be thankful youire in the United States. Several Teachers Have Narrow Escapes. Students Lose Homes in December 7th Attack. Permission Granted to Publish 'Hi-Lights'. Lunalilo Students Occupy Five Rooms. Classes Help Dig Trenches. Shelters, Rooms Assigned. No Time for Petty Ailments. Letts Be Good Soldiers. ALICE FOSCA, 9B3. ik Two students of the Washington High School lost their homes by fire in the attack of December seventh. Fortunately no one was injured. One of the students at Washington High School re- lated her story as follows: I heard a whizzing sound early on that December morning. As I did not know we were being at- tacked I payed no attention to it until I heard a loud tBoomf The house next door was ablaze. In no time at all our house also burned with furious flames. Although my house was burned no one was injured. Kite 91kt 2

One of the teachers of the Lunalilo School which was burned on December seventh was helping at the Red Cross unit when the bombs fell. She said, I was excited and nervous but I had enough sense to crawl under my hypo-tahle. A cafeteria waitress in the Lunalilo School was surprised, excited, and a little nervous when the bombs fell just twenty-five feet away. I quote her as saying, Itll never forget the feeling I had to know that real war had come before our eyes. MARIE R. FRAGALE. i' DEMONSTRATION SHOWS PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE CAUSED BY BOMBS In the first school assembly the topic was Bombs and Ways to Guard Against Them. A speaker told the students of fire extinguishers, their contents, and uses. A professer told what to do in case there was a fire. A captain in the Army then gave the students some advice. Said he, I'Save all the blankets you can, for there may beva shortage. The assembly was then dismissed by the principal. MATTHEW GOODBODY, 9B1. ir PARENTS ANSWER CALL TO DI G SCHOOL TRENCHES Many fathers of students were asked to assist in making trenches to keep their Children safe in air raids. ik BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN AIR AT T ACK In order to prevent disaster during air raids we must follow a few simple rules: 1 . Children and teachers must lie Hat on the floor, but always away from windows. 2. Every attendance class must report to the trenches given to them. . Silence. 4. Students in trenches must either squat or sit to protect themselves against shrapnel fragments. N0 pushing, pulling, or talking. b. In trenches where there are steps the first pupil must sit in the center, so he can give room to others. DOROTHY VECE, 9B2. tCoutinucd on. page 30? :N . U! 3 Elie 91m
