the 40’s The whole world was in a turmoil during the 1940's. Gar- field County was no exception. Ffearl Harbor sent boys flocking to the recruiting centers. Roy Alex- ander, Mabel Pollard, Mrs. West, and many others were busy selling and buying war bonds. Everything was rationed--shoes, food, and gas. Ffcople kept their ears glued to their radios, some of which were only crystal sets, not only for news of what was happening in North Africa, Bataan and Yalta, but to hear Bing Crosby sing Irving Berlin songs, Kay Kyser conduct his Col- lege of Musical Knowledge or Kate Smith belt out God Bless America. iteople hated Hitler, Musso- lini and Stalin and relieved ten- sions by telling Knock, Knock jokes and drawing pictures of Kil- roy to show that he had been there. The boys put up pictures of Betty Grable and the girls fainted when they heard crooner Frankie Sinatra sing. Some 4-F'ers wore zoot-suits and ducktails. But life did go on at GCHS. There were 58 Freshmen in 1943-- 3 times as many as usual. What a scramble for more books and desks! The entire school took part in ini- tiation, but the Freshmen still out- numbered them. The upperclassmen did manage to paint their faces. Even that was short-lived. When the Freshmen walked into study hall, Rev. Johnson who was in charge said, Go wash it off. And that was that. There were few cars and less gas so students did not buzz main after school. Instead they played Ante, Ante Over the high school with a volley ball or (once) hoisted an old wagon to the top of the high school roof. Evenings in the Dorm were spent in the basement playing gui- tars, singing and dancing. On show night the matron walked them to the theater single file and was there afterwards to walk them back. The show probably starred Clark Gable, Bob Hope or Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. The high school in Coha gen was operating at that time and there was a little snoose problem. The principal challenged the boys to a contest. Each took a big chew in the morning and could not leave the room or spit. One by one, the boys got sick and the principal won. That ended snoose for that year. Clara Saylor writes, In my Junior year I won a trip to High School Week in Bozeman in typing. Three students got to go and did we ever have a time finding transportation! No one had a car that would run that far. Bozeman—and the college. I loved every minute of it. Could I have enrolled the next week, I think I might have gone to college. In my typing group they showed a brand new invent- ion, the electric typewriter. Shopping downtown was another experience . Of course, we walked down--16 blocks. I found a darling dress on sale for $2.50. I had about $15. 00 along for the entire trip, most of which I had earned cleaning house for 300 an hour.

Last year the three winning papers in Class D differed only one point respectively. The Saga won third, . having placed first and second the two previous years. SHAKESFEARE UP TO DATE Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind —the faculty giving demerits. He was a man take him for all in all; I shall not look upon his like again —David Huston. He waxes desperate with imagin- ation —Kenneth Wilson. Brevity is the soul of wit — Leonard Hallberg. He doth confess he feels himself distracted, But from what cause he will by no means speak. - -Glen Childers. What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed?—Sterling West. He speaks an infinite deal of nothing. ” —Clell O'Connor in the library. And where the offense is let the great ax fall —the faculty's motto.
