Dear Bill, Potpourri — that ' s what the next pages are. In my school book French that means a mixture of all good things or — just plain miscellaneous. Yes, that is Governor Henry Schricker flanked by representa- tives of the Victory Corps. The governor ' s visit and inspiring talk to the school March 10 really was the event of the year here. He told us to make every minute count this summer toward winning the war. 1 met him personally, Bill, and, gee, he ' s so human and nice! You ' d never recognize the third floor bridge, for with lots of elbow grease, red, white and blue oil cloth and willing helpers, Miss Helen Irwin, head of the Victory Corps Community Division, has transformed it into a Bridge to Victory. Miss Dorothy Ellis and Miss Betty Foster helped with the decoration. You see, it ' s a perma- nent salvage station for scrap metal, lipsticks and compacts, games, books and magazines for the U.S.O., ash trays, scrap rubber, old nylon and silk hose, records — and lots more. Most school clubs are sponsor- ing special drives. I ' ve pasted pictures of the clubs for you, thanks to Eddie ' s camera; I ' ll glue Booster clippings along the sides. See, the girls have taken over the shops for classes in machine tool work. You should see them gloat over their products and wail over begrimed hands. They are also answering the call for map makers by taking a special course here. Mathematics, you know — 2 plus 2 equals 5, is more and more important. We had a program explaining it in relation to aviation. I ' m sorry that we don ' t have any pictures of the Victory garden projects that Mr. Harold Boese is promoting; however, the students are reaping their peas, beans and onions from back yard plots. That night school picture (Mr. Hanske is director) shows that some seniors, who now work during the day, are finishing their credits in the evening. The Christmas wreath is a reminder of the colorful program given by students before vacation. The Girls League show this year was held on March 26 instead of a fall date, and it brought raves. The freshies proved that big things do come in small packages. We were freshies once, remember? Dancing, acrobatic, tap and toe, was super! Betty and Bill Allanson and Paul Brandes looked like professionals with their tumbling stunts. I liked the doll shop scene especially. It was patterned after one of Judy Garland ' s songs in For Me and My Gal. And the solos, and the songs, and the jokes and the costumes! Well, everybody just burst their Victory seams with pride. Me, too. Affectionately, Bsdk, 29
