JUNIOR HIGH-SEVENTH GRADES THE YOUNG PATRIOTS UNION OF ROOM 8 The members of Grade 7, Room 8 of the Fort Edward High Factory have been busy all year furnishing war materials for one of Uncle Sam’s soldiers. Last September the Young Patriots Union of this class decided to adopt a soldier who would be, for them, a symbol of all the Fort Edward boys in service. This symbolic soldier was named Edward Fort of Fort Edward. Through the efforts of the thirty-six workers of this union, under the direction of Little Boss Wesley Morcncy, enough war stamps have been sold to supply Edward Fort with his uniform and equipment, food for one year, a cannon which will help to bring the Nazis and Japs to unconditional surrender, a walkie-talkie, and many hand grenades. Week after week this group has maintained a 100% War Stamp record and for the year’s work has secured an average of 96%. By the end of the year this Union will have contributed over $1000 to the War Effort. The members of Room 8 are also collecting junk jewelry for the soldiers to distribute to the South Sea natives. These natives, in return for old jewelry, dig fox holes and do other work for the armed forces. A large fish bowl is being used in Room 8 as a receptacle for such South Sea Wampum.” Superintendent Brislin, Little Boss Morcncy, Foremen Leo Terrio and Arvid O’Connell and Forewoman Shirley Trackey have charge of the activities in Room 8. THE WORKERS’ UNION OF ROOM 9 Little Boss Frank Arcuri and Forewomen Lillian Caputo, Irene Ives, and Ruth Hemstreet have charge of the work in Room 9. Because these workers are so busy on the assembly line they have had no time for extra activities. Superintendent Ganley is the adviser to this group of workers.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is the workers’ own organization which is entitled to carry on collective bargaining with the management. Representatives are chosen by popular vote of the workers. Employees arc thus confident of having a voice in the running of the factory. While labor disputes sometimes arise, the Council has always succeeded in negotiating satisfactory contracts with the result that no strikes nor picketing have been found necessary. The Council sponsored assembly programs and maintained the much needed Safety Patrol. The Council officers are: President, Anthony Caruso; Vice-President, Ann Somers; Treasurer, Edward Reardon; Secretary Charlotte Rosa. First Row—Norman Walbridgc, Jean Marine, I.illian Caputo, Marion Pashby, Joseph Clark. Second Row—Brooks Tillotson, F'mily Sadler, Jeannie Corsall, Gordon Woodcock. SAFETY PATROL In order to prevent confusion and disorder in our great work shop, we have appointed a Safety Patrol. This operates under the supervision of Superintendent Emily Sadler. The guards stationed in the three departments are nine in number. So far none of our employees who pass from floor to floor at the beginning of the morning and afternoon shifts have been reported for disorderly conduct. From that, one gathers that every worker takes great pride in the Factory.
