PILOTS for the Varites to read. We know that some of them haveewell not been so good, while others have been en- EDHURIHL an mle FOR many terms the P114013 staffs have come and gone leaving joyable. This issue we hope will be one of the very best you have read. Not so that we can pat ourselves on the back but so that you may enjoy reading it. But there is a catch. Everything is not fun and laughter. The PILOT thus far has tried to he comical tno remarksy but here and there something serious must come into it. The United States, our country, is at war. You may ask what i that has to do with you. You and every one of your friends is at- t fected. Lately many of you have been complaining of the raise in the price of the PILOT. So you see even in this small way you are affected by the war. What are you going to do? Sit around and let everyone else do the work? Letts all get out and do some- thing. Plenty ofyou Varites, Fm sure, are able and willing to do your part to tas Baby Snooks saysl Hsave halt the world. Some otyou girls try learning to knit. ltm sure your boyfriends wouldIft mind if you did a little knitting on a date. My boyfriend didntt. Would you boys mind? Well, it you do why not be just indiffer- ent and try your first aid on her little brother instead of sending him to the movies. So you see in this way you are also being economical. But to be serious these things that we have men- tioned are butafew of the things that every one of us can do even in our spare time. So letts go ahead and do everything we can in our everyday routine and in our spare time. Meanwhile we, of the PILOT staff, will go ahead too, to bring the Varites a few laughs twe hopey during their school life. LILLIAN NELSON, OBI. Vare has developed a prize artist in Edmund Sacchetta of 9B6. Edmund drew and cut the cover for this issue, all by his little self- and I mean little self, for Edmund looks more like a 7A than a OB. In addition he drew and cut the inside cuts. He also illustrates the ttCo-Pilot and turns it out for us. Miss Gallant in the office doesnlt know what she'll do when Edmund leaves; he's such a help. Mr. Liggett feels the same way. The only way out, I suppose is to see that Eimund Hunks. Then hetll stay with us. 51k ffifat .4

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

BROADCASTING STATION ONDAY, January 19, I visited the radio station WPEN. After waiting a few minutes at the reception desk, a gentle- man came up to me and introduced himself. He was Mr. Harry Schlegel. These are four studios, A, B, C and D. Of the four, D is the largest. I was allowed to attend two musical pro-i grams and one news broadcast. On a board near the microphone were two lights, one red and one green. When the red light Hashes, it shows that you are on the air. The green light, when put on, signals the control room. In the control room there are compasses on a large board, somewhat like a switchboard. The compasses tell when the broadcasts are going on regularly. There are 18 01' 19 news broadcasts a day. When you hear that a program is transcribed, it means it is played from a record. Nine out of ten programs where applause is heard have. actual applause, but sometimes records are played for this purpose. Quiz programs are never rehearsed before they go on the air. 1 hope that you will understand the programs better now that you have this information about the radio. FAY DE PALMA, 8B1. Vk . RADIO OWN through the past few decades radio has brought joy, and you might say peace, into the hearts of all Americans. Radio is not only a joy but it is also a necessity. A ship that is sinking, through the radio, may S O S for aid and in that way save the lives of many human beings. An airplane that is lost in the fog, through the use of radio beams may be brought to safety. Radio keeps us in touch with the world we cannot see. This great American recreation has been glorified in motion pic- tures C'The Great American Broadcastlll, plays and books C'The 'Story of Radio, Radio Around the World, and Radio for Everyboclynl. I'm sure as long as there is an America there will he a radio and as long as there is a radio there will be a joy-loving , America. MATTHEW GOODBODY, 9B1-. 5 935a 9M
