reefing5 fo gfarifi of 1942 ' You have gained proficiency through opportunities offered by Leb- anon High School. You have devel- oped strong, healthy bodies. and you have achieved efliciency in some form of needed vocational skill. This will enable you, as adults, to assist the nation in the successful execution of its defense. We cannot preserve our democratic way of life unless we win this war. But if we win this war and lose our freedom in the process, we shall have fought in vain. The real test of your patriotism is equanimity,cool-headedness, and abil- ity to serve your country faithfully in this time of crisis. F. L. ZIMMERMAN, Princijml jk? gftldlflafefi all Wafiona! ibezenae ' America needs men and women with technical and scientific training. For every soldier in the armed forces, sixteen civilian workers are required to supply him with the implements of war. The high schools are being called upon to provide trained individuals. Every high-school pupil pursuing courses in mathematics, science, draft- ing, or mechanics is a member of the great civilian army whose efforts will make a valuable contribution to win- ning the War.

One may pass the High School any evening and wonder at the meaning of this large plant blazing with electric lights and bustling with activity. Almost the entire high-school plant has been operating, not only with a meaningful day program, but with a supplementary evening program, covering almost all phases of National Defense. Under the sponsorship of Pennsylvania State College, a total of eight courses of a technical and scientific nature have been conducted in the evenings. These courses include such subjects as metallurgy, engineering, drafting, production control, and kindred subjects. In addition to this program the Board of Directors has sponsored a total of ten evening courses, offering Defense training in such subjects as machine shop, automotive maintenance, blue-print reading, elec- tricity, and pattern making. The building has been a meeting-place for all types of Civilian Defense projects. The auditoriums, gymnasiums, classrooms, and shops have all been available and have been utilized for the cause of National Defense. G. HOBAR1' LIGHT, D.D.S., President CHARLES B.
