STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT. DAN BEYER President’s Message The school year of 1941-42 has come to an end. It has been an exciting year — one of war, reverses, and sacrifices. Along with our other much loved luxuries must go the school annual. The TOKA will be edited and printed no more for the duration. This year the student body excelled all past ones in its policy of giving. The students bought defense stamps and bonds every Wednesday in the halls. One home room alone bought over a hundred dollars worth. The students supported and gave money to two Red Cross drives, the annual roll call and a war relief fund. Old paper for national defense was collected and student admission to one basketball games was two pounds of paper. A book week was held for obtaining books for the enjoyment of soldiers at the Grants Pass Hospitality house. Donations were made to help make Braille books for the blind. To show their increased patriotism, every student gave one cent or more so the student body could purchase a new- flag. In this year of national emergency Grants Pass high, like other schools, gave a number of its students and faculty members to the armed forces of our Nation. Although the policy of the armed forces and the schools was to allow students to finish their current school year, many, because of their eagerness to fight, could not wait and joined before the school term was over. Rights and obligations are inherited by all Americans. In peace and national security, Americans forget many of their obligations and remember only their rights. But in war, these obligations must be immediately recalled to mind and re-learned in order to preserve unity and independence. Many of the students at Grants Pass high have learned that their obligations to their country are just as important as the rights they expect it to give. They have learned this from taking part in school activities and sharing in the responsibilities. These students are ready to take their place as citizens. They are ready to support their country in danger or in peace and will not have to learn the necessity of doing their share and carrying out their obligation. As for myself, I have never had a more enjoyable or beneficial year than this one as student body president. [PAGE NINE]
