Ae Ckefofgfeenuifi 9 SR EQ V R WAR EFFORT At the present, an all-out effort to win this war for freedom stands first in the minds of Greenville High School students. Consequently, each one is striving to get a well-rounded education, mentally, physically, and socially, through the class room, through school athletics, and through the various social functions of the school organizations. They are considering this strug- gle among nations lust as much their fight as it is the other fellows'. The American youth hates war, but he is not afraid of it. Today's youth are not going to be satisfied with the Axis shallow promise to be good. They do not expect their grandchildren to fight a World War Ill. The average high school student does not go around proclaiming his beliefs, but he holds certain ideals and principles. He intends for these to be respected, and now he is making sure that this respect will sink deep into the heart of every nation and individual. Not only is he studying so he can win this war but also to be able to play an important part in the world after the war. Some definite things have been under- taken by the school to further the war ef- fort this year. There was the course in aeronautics. Higher mathematics and sci- ence were encouraged. First aid classes and a course in home nursing were con- 3 3 l ducted. The Hi-Y sponsored a metal col- lection. The Girl Reserves rolled bandages for the Red Cross. There was that large county scrap drive that the students helped make a success. Most students actually gave up ice cream for dessert in the school cafeteria and other personal things to buy stamps at the war stamp booth. The vic- tory contest was met with enthusiasm. ln- structors as well as students willingly spent tedious hours issuing war ration books. These sacrifices they have made gladly for the land they love. ,J 3. . 4
