THE PACE FOR OUR WAR EFFORT PRINCIPAL SCHAAF SAYS “HELLO” In one short year, Mr. Schaaf’s sin- cere interest in us and in our school activities has won the loyalty and friendship of Lancaster High School students and teachers. Despite the difficulty of beginning work in a new school without much time to get acquainted, he has met all situations with quiet efficiency and un- derstanding. Mr. Schaaf is kept busy sending rec- ords of students and alumni to colleges, industries, and Uncle Sam. Eight or ten inquiries are answered every week.

How can it ever be worked out and solved? I hope that you are all doing fine and things are going as well as they can under conditions as they are and must be at present. We are still a very very, lucky people.” Kj E ’ It From Selman Field, Louisiana This is really tough on the boys who didn’t learn much about physics or math in high school or college. They have to do so much studying and the day’s schedule is so full they just don't have time.” Fronkltaly By th time we get into a town there isn’t much left of it, and it doesn’t help one’syfeeling to look at it and realize From Seymour Johnson Field, North Carolina “I am surely glad I took the trades and industries course because it has surely helped me out in my airplane mechanics school, especially a good deal of algebra The phases of the work that I have finished are aircraft tools, aircraft construction, hydraulics, pro- pellors, engines, instruments, and igni- tion six more to go before I finish.” SECRETARY JEAN RADER OFFICIAL DETAIL ON FURLOUGH AT THE FAIR
