cousin students gave an exhibition of tumbling and showed the values of physical fitness. An interesting aviation talk was presented by Mr. John Hates, a Central graduate who is now a flight instructor at the Municipal Airport. The A Cappeia Choir, under the leadership of Miss Marion Huxtablc. presented an historical pageant of music. Other auditorium programs included the films Man the Enigma, an appreciation of democratic organization, and “Methods of Fighting the Incendiary Bomb. Because ready-made garments will l c limited, anil wool in materials scarce. Central students in their clothing courses were learning construction processes so they will l c able to alter and repair clothing. 'Hie army’s need of materials ordinarily used for supplying civilian wants and the taking over of factories which made clothing created a need lor home sewing. The ninth grade girls spent one-half of a semester learning child care. One hundred and sixty-live Central girls signed up to take care of children in case of a war time emergency. In the tenth grade the girls in the clothing classes made 30 little woolen dresses and 40 women’s woolen skirts for the Red Cross. Twenty-four out of twenty-nine students in the Central Art Club provided the posters needed by the Ordnance Department in requesting rooms for the Mcrrimac workers. The Art Club and the Applied Art Class made stationery portfolios for Wisconsin boys in the ranks who were in lied or hospitalized. All the boys in the Hi-Y club signed up for Civilian Defense. Central’s very successful sale of War Savings stamps was conducted by the Hi-Y. Senior high girls, anxious to take part in I lie war effort, chose to do knitting. Because they were not able to get much yarn from the Red Cross, many of the girls knit afghan squares out of yarn purchased by the school. Five girls knit sweaters to be used in the refugee work; others knitted Army and Navy sweaters. Another successful War Defense task which Central entered was the Paper-Saving Campaign under the leadership of the student council. The idea of saving flat waste paper originated with Miss Amelia Yeager who placed a carton in room 218 in December for the flat waste |u| r from her home room and classes. She mentioned this plan to Miss Annalt Pierce, chairman of the faculty advisers of the student council, suggesting the activity as a school project. The student council seemed to be the organization that should sponsor a general school paper collection. The project was presented to the council and approved and the campaign started in January, 1042. The |unior High student council, in January, asked to join the Senior High in the campaign and as a result the entire school worked on the project. Over 15.825 (khuhIs of paper had been sold l ) the council on the first of May. Miss Florence Morris’ home room, 209, established a record in February with 441 pounds of paper. Later, Miss Theresa Klcinhcinz’s home room, 407, challenged Miss Ann [ungin-gcr’s home room. Home room 407 had 491 pounds and home room 414 had 4.89 pounds from one week’s collection. The committee’s goal was to clear $100 by the end of the year. This sum was to l c used to pay the expenses of both the Senior and the lunior High student councils, to leave a small balance in each council’s treasury, to l c able to invest in at least one Defense Bond for the school, to send a contribution to the Red Cross, anil to support some of the other worthwhile school projects. During the year the council proceeded successfully toward their goal. Members of the paper-saving committee were: Donald Young, chairman, Robert Koch, Jeorge Schiro, Clarence Esser, Claude Moss. John Nania. William Oakey. and William O’Brien. Other boys voluntarily assisted when needed. Library hooks added the second semester pertained to nutrition, Latin America (in the interest of the Ciood Ncighlxir Policy), and the situation m the Pacific Ocean and the Asiatic countries. English courses were changed to include material related to the war and the countries participating. Eleven A and Ten B oral English classes gave programs and topics on Pan-American countries. The Eleven A and Ten A classes wrote themes on South America and our relationships with those countries.

Otherwite the ticket are tent to all paid-up member a day or two before the event . To the book owner an announcement i made telling them which ticket is being used for admittance to the event . Cooperation pays is the slogan of the All Activity Association; this suggests thriftines on the student's part. If the students are will-ing to cooperate so the association may continue its purpose, they will be the participants in teveral money saving activities. You students probably never stopped to think that, if it weren't for that thin dime you invest every Tuesday, you just wouldn't know who the school's football hero is, who make the most baskets, who blows the horn in the front row of the band, who is Central's Greta Garbo or Lily Pon», whether that cute sophomore you taw walking down the hall dances or not, who is going with what certain person, or even the senior who graduate. Aren’t you glad you're willing to sacrifice that to-called thin dime every Tuesday? Yes, it certainly is fun for the money, especially when it bn’t to much money cither. Since the All Activity Association is in general a plan for just the Central High School students’ benefit, adults are not admitted by thr A.A.A. ticket . However, in consideration cf the adult intere t in school activities, the A.A.A. ticket hat a fifteen cent exchange value toward the price of an adult ticket when presented at the box office of an event. Although adults are not admitted on A.A.A. tickets in general, the faculty is always cordially invited to participate in the A.A.A. plan and enjoy the full benefits of it membership. This past year of 1941-42 the following pupils were the A.A.A. Homr Room collectors: Beverly Franey, Stanley Rubnitr, Grace Batker, Patricia Westbury, Vernon Heisig, Mildred Martinas, Kathryn Jones, Ann DiPiar o, Mary Catherine Egan, Edna Piquette, Iona Wheelock, Sylvia Bornstein, Constance Roisum, Joyce Ven-den, Loraine Hall, June Fabian, Jeanne I.ippert, Don Syvrud, Betty Hoiberg. and Jean Julson. These pupils did the A.A.A. work necessary in the home room on Tuesday . The following students were on the receiving end in the senior high office to check the payment and do the other work necessary to keep the A.A.A. up to it regular yearly routine. They are: Clara Kaiser, Jeanette Zanoya, Joyce Venden, Frances Moran, Jean Connor, Mary Ychle, Beverly Franey, Mary Jane Maloney, Jane Lester. Helen Schmel kopf, and Delores Linden. The All Activity Association is dserving of congratulation from each and every student, whether you have participated in the benefits it ha to offer or not. To Mr. Rex L. Liebenberg, our assistant principal, go congratulations for helping to guide the All Activity Association so successfully these past ten years in Central High. The Central High School faculty have been some of thr most loyal supporters of the All Activity Association. Year after year they join the huge membership in cooperation with the students. Every pupil enjoy teeing his teachers showing interest in hi activities outside of the class room and books. To see your teacher at a football game give you the feeling that they are fun lovers too, and they can and do enjoy the tame fun you do. Yet. our teacher are just at loyal to Central High School fame, trophies, and accomplishment made here a you are. They're proud to be able to teach fun-loving students, and the A.A.A. helps to make you the fun-loving student .
