This year your Spectrum has been published in the same manner as in previous years. It is the same size. It contains pictures of the graduating classes, school clubs, and sports. Its cost is the same. The purpose of the book, however, is different. We, the editors, wish to show the changes that have taken place in our school because of the war—primarily the Victory Corps. Students are not enjoying the leisurely life they did previously. Some are working in the shipyards, many part time, and a few a full shift. Boys are working in service stations, the post office, grocery stores, freight offices, and others are in the marine or naval reserves. Girls are working in department stores, restaurants, offices, and in homes caring for the children of working mothers. School activities have been curtailed. The curriculum has been changed to train students to do their part in the war effort. Clubs have undertaken varied, useful projects. The students of Jeff have united to do their part to help their country in a time of need.
