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

Wally Wallace, Senior, Maxine Eastburn and Elaine Smith, Juniors, are pitching hay and spreading beanstraw at Rancho Sespe. They report spending most of their time riding on wagonloads of hay.

Evelyn Hickox, Edna Braden, and Frances Trout, Seniors, are packing oranges at the Fillmore Orange As- sociation. By official title, Wad Taylor is an Agricultural Inspector.

Your Associated Student Body card, stupid. What did you think I meant? That is, or should be the topic of conversation 'round about F. U. H. S. this week. The price of the card is only severity- five cents. A count after the Back- to-School Dance Friday evening showed that 182 Student Body cards have been purchased. Ownership by classes is as follows: Seniors-33, Juniors-38, Sophomores-31, Fresh- men-38. Eighth Grade-20, and Sev- enth Grade-22. This leaves 308 stu- dents who are neglecting themselves by not buying their cards. Bas- ketball will be the sport this year, and when that time comes around there will be plenty of people who will wish that they had a card. The cards can be bought from Miss Hansen in Room 22 of the Science building.

Back-To-School Dance Starts Social Season The phrases, No tagging right back and Here, you carry it for awhile, were heard at the Back-to- School Dance last Friday night in the gym. Yes, you've guessed it! There were several tag dances and the person tagged had to dance around with an old costume fitter. The Knights Flashes furnished good music, and everyone had fun. So to all people who didn't come to this dance, don't miss the next one. Help The Snake Strike! . I' tl I .J I . ' 5 lt .' SQL it I sus S ll ' The metal will be sold to the government. The town of Fillmore will receive seventy-five cents out of every dollar made, for its Emerg- ency War Needs Fund. The school will receive the remaining twenty- five cents. The Fillmore Element- ary Schools are joining in the drive too. Since they have no way of processing the metal they collect, we will buy it from them and handle it. As there is no football this year, the money received from the drive will replace the money that would have been taken in at the football games.
