All must take a part in bringing to the world lasting peace, freedom and safety. To boys and girls of high school age a great opportunity has been given to play a vital part in this great struggle for the rights of mankind. lt is entirely fitting that this should have a part-a very important part'-in the school life of today. In our own school we have kept foremost in our minds and hearts the needs of our country, and have responded gladly and heartily to every call. A greater opportunity for service. however, will soon be given us. Yacation time is almost at hand. Thousands of men from every field of labor have been called into service, and thousands more will he called in the near future. There will necessarily be a serious shortage of labor. In many sections of our country this shortage is already being felt. XVe must not idle away this summer. XYC can do much toward filling the places left vacant by the men who have gone. Many forms of work are open to boys, work in offices, in chemical labora- tories, and in stores and shops of various kinds. For girl workers the field is by no means limitedt The Government offers many positions, and office work is open to them. One of the most healthful and pleasant forms of work which we can all do is gardening and farming. XYe must win this war for which our men are fighting and dying, and it is essential that we produce an abundance of food and raw material of every kind. 13
