10. SAFE AIR RAID REGULATIONS .-..-.- Mr. Hoge, our ex-teacher, contributed to our yearbook this summary of nwhat to Do in Case of Air Raidsu. 1. As soon as bombs start dropping run like foensoredl lit docsn't matter'wH whore just as long as you run like Ccenseredj, 2. Take adavntage of opportunities afforded you where air raid sirens sound the attack warning, for example: a. If in a bakery grab a pie, cake, etc. b. If in a tavern, grab a bottle. c. If in a movie, grab a blonde. 3. If you find an unexploded bomb, always pick it up and shake it, as the firing pin might be stuck. 4. If this docsn't work,loave it in the furnace, - the fire department will eomc later and' take care of things. 5. If an incendiary bomb is found burning in a building, throw some gasoline - on it. You can't put it out anyhow, so you might just as well have some fun. a. If no gasoline is available, threw a bucket of water on it and lie down ----- yeu're dead. I 6. Always get excited and holler bloody murder. It will add to the fun and the confusion, and scare the little kids. 7. Drink heavily, eat onions, limbergcr cheese, etc., before entering a crowded air-raid shelter. This will make you unpopular with the crowd in your immediate vicinity, eliminating any unnecessary discomfort that would be more prevalent if people crowded tee closely. 8. If you should be a victim of a dive bomb hit, don't go to pieces. Lie still and you won't be noticed. 9. Knock the air-raid wardens down if they tcll you what to do. They always save the best seats for their friends and themselves anyway. For women only : Never, under any circumstances, use common sense - you can't. JANUARY - Hone. FEBRUARY - nDetH - Gth.

FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOW The sun had not yet appeared, but the gray sky was parted near the horizon, and its edges shone crimson with the coming day. Lifeloss fields were covered with a white blankoty film of sparkling dew which glimmered and glistened like a luxurious diamond in the noonday sun. Afar off across the ungrazod pasture lends, I caught the sight of a manly figure clad in a flowing garment, so purely white it reminded mo of the rolling white clouds which were rapidly and forcefully seeking their own homes in the heavenly blue sky. Thinking of all the terrors of the horrible war, this purely white-robed spectacle impressed me greatly and brought back all longings for loved ones vrho were fearlessly plodding along in the unfamiliar routine of war. About to lose myself in deep penetrating loneliness, I was brought ' .L baek to reality by the budden melodious song of a robin that had staunchly perched himself on the unrebed maple in front of my window- ' Betty Jane Faith A WOODLAND VIEW AT TWILIGHT Looking from our cabin you will first notice the tall dark trees rising like a formidable wall all around you. But a closer look will re- veal many openings in this wall of giant oaks. One of the larger of those is an old deep-rutted wagon road, and if it could talk it would tell of the many wagon loads of lumber hauled over it. Looking to the right you can just see o. little mountain stream studded with mess covered rocks, which are wet with spray from the rushing water, This gay little stream flows under an old bridge which is beginning to crumble with age. From this bridge, sliver brook trout may be seen at play in the deep pools below. . Donald Lawyer NIGHT TIME Sitting Stllfl window I soothe shadows of the trees fall across the moonlit earth. In the silence an indifferent owl lots everyone lmow he is present. The stream of water flows swiftly by like a beautiful streak of silver. Far above the stars twinkle like diamonds of rare beauty, among the few white, floooy clouds which are rapidly disappearing. The round full moon floods the earth with its gorgeous light and the dark, still night is one of heavenly splendor. Again that squoaking sound of the owl shreaks through the quiet of the night, and my thoughts are back to the silvery water and wavering shadows. Susan Rockwell
