Well, here's where your roving reporter found some of our local farmers and farmer- ettes. 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. Sounds like a soft job to us! Jimmy Schleimer, Freshman, is one of the boys who top sugar beets. He agrees with Mr. Neuman that it's hard work. 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. His job is to look for scale on citrus trees, and spray to kill it. Roberta Merry, Snookie Forbes, and Clara Graffer. Freshmen. are pruning and painting trees in the Rancho Sespe Nursery.

Lyman Ellis is one of a group of 8th grade boys who are picking walnuts. Wanda Basolo, Natalie Harthorn, and Mary Lou Elkins.

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. Don't waste any more time. fellows and gals, get your cards now and be members of the Associated Student Body at Fill- more High. Keep Scrap piling- Keep 'em flying. Give the canary to the cat: Tum in the cage to make more scrap. Find alumnium and zinc To make 'em sink. Joining thousands of schools all over the United States in the drive for scrap metal, Fillmore Union High School launched one of the biggest campaigns in its history on Monday, October 5. Students will do their part in the war effort by gathering old pieces of metal. Campaign plans for Fillmore I-ligh's part in the nation wide drive were made at an emergency Student Council meeting held September 30. Principal Hawley introduced the plans to the student body at a Scrap Assembly October 1. Each homeroom has elected a Scrap Chairman . This chairman is responsible for collecting information from members of his class as to the amount and the location of scrap. Metal will be brought to the tennis courts where Mr. Alvin Fors and the Agriculture Mechanics classes will grade and sort it according to type. lvlosbarger Elected Council Member Don Mosbarger was elected by the student body, on October 2nd, to be Commissioner of Entertainment, filling the vacancy left by Bill Cochran. Don received 203 votes and Lucile Broderson, 183. 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. Mr. Hawley stressed the serious- ness of the situation and the real need of Uncle Sam for scrap metal to lick the Japs . Wallace Taylor, editor of the Copa de Oro and Athletic Manager, Carol Young, G. A. A. and Tri-Y presidents, Jimmy Shiells, head of C. S. F., Wilma Elliott, Sophomore, and Ed Carter, Freshman pledged the 10097 backing of their groups.
