BUGLES SOUND; NEEDLES CLICK THEY’RE in the army now! Sadly we said farewell to three faculty members who left H.II.S. for one year to swell the ranks of the army. Mr. Luke White, the first to go. was sent to Camp Upton where he did a grand job in the clerical department. At this date Mr. White is once again within our school district, for he is stationed at Mitchel Field in the Aircraft Warning Division. The freshman class lost one of its English teachers when the President of the United States sent a letter to Mr. Mooney stating that he had been selected to serve the army at Fort McClellan, Alabama. Freshmen, Mr. Mooney continues to do his English homework; he writes articles for a newspaper. Once again the call came! In February, Mr. Albinski. assistant director in the music department, dropped his H.II.S. baton and selected a new one in Texas. ‘Way down thar, Mr. Albinski is band director for the 6i)th Coast Artillery at Camp llulen. Whether she has a free moment or not, every woman is knitting for the soldiers. Our faculty members, the fairer sex, of course, know that the perfect smart con- versation piece is the knitting bag. The profs specialize in making water repellent sea-boot stockings for the men on the trawlers and on the mine sweepers. Balaklava helmets, the ones for the aviators, are knitted in a hazy shade known as air-force blue.” Airmen are very popu- lar. Willingly and continuously teachers who cannot knit do relief work. Everyone is busy helping others! Some teachers raise money by giving bridge parties; others collect old clothes and secondhand shoes and send them to Finland, Greece, France, and China; a few make surgical dress- ings for the Red Cross; and many buy tickets for bene- fit performances and for insignias to wear as badges of humanity. “Dieu et Mon Droit” pins of red, white, and blue enamel affirm, as words cannot, that there is a heart beneath the dress. These two photographs of four faculty members symbolize the role being played by American teachers in the vast defense program. CCourtesy of Nassau Daily Review) One of our faculty members.
