Students have less time at school and less time to keep up with their friends and activities here. We feel that it is the job of the school paper to keep the student body the same big happy family as before so we will keep you posted on what's happen- ing while you are working for vic- tory. The new weekly NEWS FLASHES will have up-to-date news stories, sports stories, and Rumor Has lt. More than ever before, we want to cover news from all the classes and clubs. Most of all, we want you to feel that this is your paper. If you have any comments, good or bad, please drop a note in the Rumor Has It box in the office. STUDENTS WORK FOR VICTORY Have you noticed the calloused hands and dusty jeans around school? They are visible proof of the work being done by one-hun- dred and forty-six Fillmore High students who are now working for victory . Crews are at work both mornings and afternoons pick- ing lemons, oranges, and tomatoes, packing fruit, topping sugar beets, and pruning in the citrus nursery at Rancho Sespe. Several girls are caring for children, thus freeing adults for other jobs. We must have 10071 cooperation, says Mr. Neuman, in order to make this student work project a success and do our part to help win the war. It is necessary for every student to check periodically with the place- ment bureau in the Agriculture De- partment. Whenever you are not working or have finished a job, no- tify me immediately, so that you will be able to go to work else- where. The larger crews of lemon and tomato pickers can use any number of students at any time, and the walnut and tomato seasons pre- sent new opportunities for girls. Let's have everyone working for victory. ' a
