SERVIEE TU THE EIJMMUNITY In time of War the Students of E. H. S. are not asleep at the switch. One of the most outstanding organizations at the present time is that of the Messengers organized for the purpose of assisting air raid wardens in their work during blackouts. To be a Messenger these people took ten hours of First Aid Training some going onto take a more advanced course. Besides this they attended classes teaching them the fundamentals in combating bombs or fires due to air attacks. During Practice Blackout and Dimout these messengers served unfailingly, determinedly, at their posts never leaving them until the all clear signal was given. It is in times like these that people of High School age show their real love of country and democracy, being willing to give their all for that cause. To honor those already gone from Elwood and now in the service of their country a Roll of Honor has been placed in a position of prestige that all may know those who fight so courageously and so silently. These things are only two small examples of what the citizens of Elwood are willing to do in order to more effectively serve their community and their country.

SERVIEE TU THE NATIUN MEM R r We all know how important the buying of War Stamps and Bonds are in the winning of this War. All during our school year there has been a committee for the purpose of keeping the students alert to this need. They have Worked tirelessly and painstakingly as all people must do in times 'of emergency, unrewarded and often untlzanked. An Award Committee is now functioning in our High School to prove to students that though a war is being' fought, there are still things at home worth striving for, worth being recognized as important and perma- nent. Among these things are basketball, football, band, track, debate, Student Council, and literary Work.
