.OJt ie Indian £eg,ettd fyvJi ’jko- ' ity-tPi ' i e- THE WAR AND FALMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL Determined to do our share to help win the war, Falmouth High School, from our smallest fifth-grader to our principal himself, went “all- out” for the ‘‘Schools at War” program sponsored by our state and nation¬ al governments. This proram was designed to impress upon American schools and American school-children the vital part which they can play in the nation’s war effort. Here at Falmouth we found that there were many contributions which we could make. Most of us could and did buy war bonds and stamps. Others worked with their hands repairing athletic equipment and farm machinery, or building model aeroplanes to be used by the government. Many of our girls learned how to preserve foods and how to plan nutri¬ tious meals in spite of wartime food restrictions. Th° entire student body cooperated enthusiastically in the physical fitness routines advocated by our government to keep up strong and healthy. On every side both students and faculty found new opportunities for service. Red Cross work, first aid, salvage activities, and civilian defense projects offered many varied mediums for worthwhile effort. In the classrooms we attempted to learn more about our own heritage of freedom, as well as to learn more about our brave allies to whom we are bound by the ties of a common resolve. In our more advanced classes, we studied the social, political, and economic factors which combined to produce this great conflict, and we devoted considerable thought to the kind of world we want to live in when the victory is won. As a record of all these varied activities, we prepared a scrapbook giving as many facts and figures about our war work as we could. This scrapbook was entered in a division contest in which schools in King George and Stafford Counties competed. Here it received first prize and was sent on to a statewide contest. The joy and pride felt by every Fal¬ mouth student and teacher on hearing that our scrapbook was named first in the entire state of Virginia can be imagined. Surely this is the true spirit of democracy; this is the path to victory! All of us working together for the common cause—soldiers, statesmen, schoolchildren! From the least to the greatest—Americans all! FORTY-SEVEN
