Community On December 8, Jefferson students cast off any lurking semblance of leth- argy. The school as a separate society had ended. The school and community had united. It was discovered that the school had a vital part in the war effort as it is here that the majority of the com- munity of homes are represented. In school also is the reserve of youthful, strong workers, willing to devote time and effort to the various necessary duties of a community at war. The many ways in which Jefferson students have shown their loyalty and willingness to help are: 90-$60 worth of defense stamps are bought by loyal Jeffersonians each month. saa The V. P. F., a home guard force, has been organized to replace the National Guard, which was called into service. In this new organization, Jefferson boys learn to wage war and to defend our homes. They are preparing to fight the enemy under various conditions. Here they are seen as they prepare to repulse paratroops attacking Jefferson.

Effort Physical education has been empha- sized greatly. The new inner system is taking the possible future rejectees of selective service and building them up while they are still in high school. The necessity of First Aid has been proved repeatedly, and a new emphasis is placed on this training through Phys- ical Education classes. An army fights on its stomach. Jef ferson girls are learning to keep army stomachs in A-l1 condition through nu- trition classes and with the aid of several white rats. Air raids are be- coming part of the Jefferson students’ daily schedule. We have become accustomed to them and are very serious about the possibility of real blitzes. Jefferson has its own civilian defense organization. We are at War! Jefferson students realize this and have rallied to the call. Forming a bond between school and community, Jefferson students assist the war effort in innumerable ways, and help to awaken their elders to the threat to our way of life. Tor: Air raid drill. CENTER: The track team collects paper for trip expenses. Bottom: First Aid training in the gym. (Heaven help the victim )
