HUHUHEBHH IIIHHBHES UH! Next Y ear it is quite possible that the athletic program may be car- tailed because of the lack of tires. As long as the present tires on oulr busses last there is no regulation concerning what the busses should be used for. However, when we get new tires from the rationing board, we will have no guarantee that those tires be used for nothing except carry- ing students and teachers to and from school. This means that athletic trips, field excursions, Senior jaunts, and the like will be eliminated. The individuals in each English class have been increasing their lib- raries by belonging to the Students Book Guild. One hundred and three students are purchasing books everymonth. In the plan, books, which are considered classics, are to be sold to the students for thirty cents each. At the end of four months. if the student has purchased one book a month he receives one bonus book free. In thli-s way students become interested, in good books and have a chance to own them at alow cost. The Industrial Arts Department has been doing fine work this year, and it is doing something which is definitely aiding the war effort. Planes are being constructed according to plans and specifications, furnished by the Bureau of Aeronautics. They had to be made on an exact scale of 1 to 72. By studying the model through a standard ring sight used on aerial gun models, the pilot learns identity and range. The planes had to be built very accurately before they were shipped to the navy department where they had to be inspected by corps of capable men who vouched for their accuracy. Three new sewing machines were purchased last fall. One of them was a new Singer and two were Free sewing machines, so now the girls can really zip around the seams-an attachmenb for making button- holes was also purchased this year. -12-.

UJE UHHHGE llIIlH THE llIllES! Each year the school organization changes somewhat and this year was no exception. W-ith a larger enrollment than ever before and heavier loads for the teachers it was necessary to hire two part time teachers to help out. Two former science teachers were hired Mrs, Mabel Lafiin and Mrs. Vera Root. Mrs. Lafiin taught girls' Physical Education and Mrs. Root had classes in English III and IV. During the summer vacation last year the classrooms were redecor- ated in light green and the auditorium was repaired. The school present- ed a very pleasing appearance when classes took up in the fall. Physical Education for both boys and girls has been stressed more than usual this year. In a national emergency fit is necessary that the physical condition of students be excellent. Exercise, diet, and proper Iiving have been stressed in all classes and Physical Education is com- pulsory for graduation. On account of the war, is was decided to have Saturday school dur- ing January and February so that farm students would be able to help on the farms during the spring. It was also decided to have half hour noon periods so that school would be dismissed at 2:35 P. M, and farm students would get home sooner, in the afternoon. With a short noon period it was impossible lo have class and club meetings during the noon recessg and it was then necessary to add an activity period or ninth hour to Tuesday and Thursday's class schedule. This gave students ample time to do club work on two days a week dur- ing the 9th hour. The ninth hour for detention purposes was dispensed with when the short noon hour became effective and a system of demerits was estab- lish. When a student receives five demerits he is automatically sus- pended from sch-ool until such time as one or both parents accompany him back to have him reinstated. ..13...
