We felt we were helping our town, as Hayes Manufacturing Company is engaged in this end of war production. And so we came to the waste fat drive sponsored by the Senior Girl Reserves and though this seemed insignificant at the time we found that one pound of fat makes enough explosive to blast H. and H. from here on in.

Then came the potluck with the Iuniors with too little meat and potatoes and too much salad. This potluck proved to be out ot the ordinary with a hilarious Truth or Conse- quences and mystifying hypnotic feats. The climax to their excellent record was the Senior Play Footloose With a very unique stage, well chosen cast and under the able direction of Miss Emily Bielelold it proved the Senior Class motto Prepared for Better Things with Hstanding room only l Executive Committee - Vander Veen, Coeling.
