lv 4' s I The pupils of Greenbelt High School, by selling war bonds and stamps, bought two jeeps. The elementary School pupils bought four jeeps and a motorcycle. We presented our jeeps on May 18, 1945 to the 76th Inf. S i r Class Joe of Fort Meade. The president of the en o , Cashman, spoke o the behalf of the high school students. Captain Lewis Marcy expressed the appreciation of the Army for the cooperation of the pupils that had been given in the selling of war bonds and stamps. Staff Sergeant Earl Burson, U. S. Army, who had been in the commando raid on Dieppe, spoke briefly concerning the morale and fortitude of French, English, and American soldiers. We, the pupils, bought jeeps for the Army. When we ive jeeps it builds up tha morale of the boys on the land, 5 on the sea, and in the air. we should keep trying to sell d the service stamps and bonds because our future depen s upon men. By buying the bonds we show that we are proud to be Americans-we're glad to be able to support those who fight while we study. V Ri ha d s ernon c r s

Uibe iluninr from At first you said, Oh, heck. It will be just like any other dance. Later you said, It doesn't matter to me whether or not I go? But you did go, and when nine o'clock on Friday, April the 30th rolled around you got that awful sinking feeling ---- this was your last Pram, the last time you would be all together as a class ---- you realize how much you are going to miss it all, so you'll always remember this night - your last Junior Prom. Then at last, you arrived. Everything portrayed excitement:- frilly skirts, sweet music, and Oh! yes - tuxedos. Maybe this was your last Program Dance, and you found it nice to be dancing with all your different classmates. The thme just seemed to fly ..... first dance .... . second dance ..... third, fourth, fifth, and then intenmission. The food looked so good, but you wanted to be dignified and not eat too much -- just enough. Back dancing --- you find yourself smiling and saying 'hello' to this one and that one, but never really noticing anything much ex- cept that nYou'd Be So Nice To Come Home Ton never sounded quite so lovely before. Then came the realization that it was over, all all over - already Hume in bed you rememberedg you'll always remember --- searching for the balloon with your name on itg surprise program partners, Joe's leading the Grand Marchg the chummy atmosphereg grape punch and cookiesg orchestra dedicationsg and the JUNIORS -- for giving us the best Pram in the World. We'll always remember. JCKZKQ ps f 5 -' 45 H 4b an - 1. ,liifl ' M IL U -Fat 1 N L M I -N 'Nr K i rg .. .Lf 'gl i ' f ,t J ' I t 1 A 1, X gn.j? a , N! gl Abil E ' Y Rfanl, ,X

V , E1 il Dani.- , Y Ghz Suurnalism diluh Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Yes, it's the future journalists of America - that is, they will be, if they can learn the difference between news, feature, and editorial styles of writing. Everyone has an individual style of writing. It is the purpose of the Journalism Club to help interested students discover and develop his style. Now we come to the important function of the club - WTHE PIONEERN. In previous years the Pioneer, the school paper, was printed by expert printers. This year the club acquired a mimeograph machine. This method of publication has proven much more interesting since it offers the members of the club a chance for some original work in drawing, setting up the paper, and nu erous other things. The Pioneer staff is very proud of this year's publications. Ray Ward, staff artist, has done numerous clever things on those stencils with his little styli. Editor-in-Chief, Marion Benson, did much to make the paper a success. Her assistants - June Abigail, Feature Editorg James Anzulovic, News Editor, Joe Cashman and Patty Day, Sports Editorsg Doris Asher, Typist, Ray-ward, Art Editorg and Rose Nudo, Advisorg spent many hours on each issue proof-reading, correcting, typing, drawing, and mimeographing before the issue was completed. Martha Likens took things in hand after all was complete to see that everyone received his copy of the paper. Many of our boys in the service receive the school paper each month. Mary Jane Townsend's valuable contributions in the way of Editorials and features have been noted by all. we know the Pioneer will continue through the years, and it is our hope that it will grow bigger and better with the school.
