IIIRKINE TU WIN THE WAR Another important committee of our high school is the War Committee. This committee searches out new Ways in which high school students may take an active part, directly or indirectly in the War effort. Such things as scrap drives, benefit dances, and the like were instigated by this committee. Today, as in 1918, soldiers are marching all over the world, but today, those soldiers are the boys that used to make all the baskets at the Friday night games, the boys that sat across from you in study hall, and the boys you danced with at the Senior Prom. Let's see that history doesn't repeat itself and the same thing happen to our children.

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.

As a sergeant has authority over his two squads, a captain over his crew, so must a school have someone to lead them. The faculty of Elwood High School does not reign with a raised whip but rather guides with a friendly hand. Where students and teachers are on close speaking acquaintances and co-oper- ation is a by-word. We give you some of the grandest people in the world, fondly known as the Upper Crust and the Cellar Gang , the faculty of Elwood High School.
