OUR MILE-OF-PENNIES CAMPAIGN One Saturday last fall some of the girls of the school, under the direction of Miss Boland, held a mile-of-pennies campaign. Girls from all forms volun- teered readily to raise funds for the ,lunior Bed Cross. The line stretched from Blair's to Ullyot's' drug store. In order to watch the money more closely, several lines were started along the side of the first one. In the afternoon an- other row was begun in front of Kares, Cafe by some of the girls. If you went past the mile of pennies that day you were probably minus some of your changebefore you continued on your way. Despite being handicapped by rain and dull weather, the girls turned out cheerfully and through their splen- did efforts a sum of thirty-live dollars and fifty-two cents was realized. The girls really tried hard to make the cam- paign a success and deserve a hearty vote of thanks. BETTE DILLON, BETTY BROWN. THE SALE OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS The new idea of showing the sale of war stamps by posting it on the bulle- tin-board in the E.H.S. has proved quite successful. A quota is set for each form. Vlfhen that quota has been achieved, the poster shows bombers flying from Canada to the British Isles. This is the picture each class wishes to complete. There are five classes whose bombers have gone across, and who are starting their second flight. The sale of war stamps at present amounts to 360850. -B1-:RNICE KRUPP, COMMERCIAL .i.il.,...-.. . KNITTING The girls of the Royal Canadian Branch of the Junior Bed Cross are do- ing their share by knitting. They have started with wash cloths, and some of the members are knitting socks and sweaters for children. So far there have been handed in two pairs of socks, two sweaters, and ten wash cloths. T0 OUR YOUTH . . . Your Town Fathers together with the Elmira Community Service Club and the Board of Trade are making every efort to provide you with wholesome amusement and clean entertainment. What has been accomplished so- far apparently is greatly appreciated by the majority of our boys and girls. 'Naturally the more you enjoy and properly use the facilities provided, the greater the encouragement for those who have willingly and unstintingly given of their time and money to keep on adding further outlets for your pleasure and enjoyment.

' - ixacy X ' ' o ews from the l D Service - Alumni I often think of the High Schoolimd more often of you people in it. It is, in fact, a special kind -of extra fine day- dreaming that I indulge in, and you can bet it's going to take at least another war to budge me out of Elmira if I ever get back. E. W. KENDALL I have quite often wondered what is happening to the fellows who went to school about the time that I did. I suppose it never occurred to one of us at that time that we would be doing things such as we are now. We have been, or in cases such as mine, will be, privileged to see parts of the world which ordinarily we would never have been in contact with. It is unfortunate that we must see them under the present conditions, but seeing them this way is probably better than not at all. I ima- gine the foremost thought of all the boys in service is of the day to come when we shall beiable to return and begin living in a manner which suits us best. That day will be a most memor- able one and' we hope it shall be soon. To the Service Alumni of Elmira High School wherever they may be, may I wish the best of luck in whatever they may be doing, as well as to any of the gang who used to be at High School in those ugood old days . FRED WEISMILLER I realize now, that the years I spent at Elmira High School were the best ones of my life, I just wish I were back there now. Itis the chaps with a bit of education who are going to get the good jobs when this squabble is over, so I hope no student at E. H. S. wastes his time to such an extent as to compromise his future. I might add that England is wonder- ful, and better than I expected-but I havenit seen any snow this winter. I will be glad to see good old Elmira again. Every success for this year's Oracle. DAVID M. ROWLAND One thing I have valued in the course of my navigator's training is the splen- did ground Work which I acquired as a student at Elmira High, and I shall always be thankful for that. an I presume that the current year book will include the hope and prayer for a SPC6dY, victorious conclusion of the war. Perhaps nextsyear's will include a thanksgiving for that viqtgry, Till then we'll endeavour to do our. part in achieving that goal. I wish thestaff and also the friends of the Year Book tinued success. HOWARD L. BRox After receiving your invitation to write a little note to the former students of the school I decided to write to- night. If you wonder why I intend to write to-night I will tell you. To-mor- row night I make my first real raid on enemy territory and God only knows what will happen. I received my first year book while I was training in Alberta and I hope to get my next one over here. The book is really wonderful to read and I' want you, The Year Book staff, to know that all of us in the services appreciate your work. I hope in the near future we will b-e home and that all of us can get together in one big celebration. I will close by wishing all of you. the best of luck in years to come and may the El- mira High School Year Book live for CVCY. BILL Lurz 61
