Dowell, the co-chairmen of the group are Rudy Becker and Norbert King. They plan scrap drives at various intervals and organize home room representatives to bundle and de- liver scrap to the court to be carted away. The uninitiated might well stare at the mountains of scrap in home rooms 208 or 209. Certainly the school has had to salute the incom-- ing sophomores this year for their activity in this project. Climaxing the November and the April drives, night ral- lies were held. Donning their work clothes, Centralites turned out en masse to scour the community for paper, magazines, rags, cardboard, old stoves, bedsteads, cooking utensils, and any other usable materials. At the end of the evenings the gym held food for the hungry mob and music for crowds that could still dance even though everyone seemed too tired to move. Thanks to the scrap campaigns we had money to Hnance the sending of Mirrors to service- men. This project, designed to let every Centralite in service know that his school remembers him and appreciates what he is doing, is handled by a large committee chairmaned by Margaret Cox, who is assisted by Nick Baldarotta and ad- vised by Miss Annah Pierce. Students turn in their copies of the paper when they have read them, and the committee mails them to hundreds of men and women scattered all over the surface of the earth. Typing students address the envelopes through the cooperation of Miss Anne Hankey and Miss Ann Iunginger, while the senior home rooms in turn have helped Fill, seal, and sort the envelopes.

Mirror mailing is an ambitious project, but one much ap- preciated if we can judge by the scores of letters of thanks that pour into the U.S.S. Central. Closely related to this activity is the keeping of a large scrap book and honor roll to serve as a permanent part of the school history. Ruth Kaiser is in charge of this work, and she and her committee do a big job of lettering and pasting with a result that is a source of pride to us all. The G-C Clinic, directed by Harriett Haugen with Mrs. Marjorie Allen as sponsor, has engaged in several war proj- ects. They made attractive tray mats of heavy paper with gay Horal and fruit trimmings for the men in the hospital at Truax Field, With the Ways and Means Committee they worked on the United National Clothing Collection. The girls handled the individual home room records and awarded two prizes to the room having the largest percentage of people par- ticipating. Previously when the appeal came for clothing for the Russian and Greek Relief they responded heartily and col- lected many pounds. The art classes too have done their part, not only in pro- viding posters but in making hangings for service centers and menus and favors for holiday trays for men in hospitals. At the same time manual arts classes have made card tables for card-playing sailors.

Because winning the war is a major purpose on the U.S.S. Central, she is Well organized into groups whose responsibilities are regular War activities, and her crew is genuinely proud of her accomplishments in the year 1944-45. The Minute Man Hag, which usually Hies below the stars and stripes on her Hagpole indicates the important place that stamp and bond sales play in her weekly routine. A trip about the various decks on Tuesday about ten-thirty reveals that currency is changing hands and stamp books are being rapidly Hlled.

They have conducted numerous campaigns for purchasing all kinds of war equipment and have succeeded so well that the U.S.S. Central has received citations for accomplishment from the U. S. Treasury Department. A series of unique posters appearing in the companionways have served to keep the crew reminded of the importance of keeping sales up, and many a home room proudly maintains a record of l00 per cent participation week after Week. No less important is the busy committee responsible for salvaging scrap at Central. Advised by Mr. Iohn G. Mc- STAMP AND BOND COMMITTEE Row 1: B. Graham. B. Huntington. E. Odden, M. Kelly. N.

Indeed, the organization and proper functioning of our ship could not be carried through without the numerous groups which serve in many ways and during many hours of each twenty-four. as -is as itself to be not only a spirited, fun a democratic organization. Our Vic- probably the most outstanding evi- group is composed of two representa- room, and it convenes every other week. The main purpose of the organization is to settle problems that might arise aboard ship and to act as a central advisory board for the various committees throughout the U.S.S. Central. It also acts as an incentive for the expression of student opinion and for better understanding between Central has proved loving group, but also tory Corps Council is dence of this fact. This tives from each home CENTR ERVICE CREW ORK officers and crew, and at the same time it provides an oppor- tunity for members of the crew to develop ability in leader- ship. The only requirement set up for admittance into the council is a scholastic average of C or above. This group sponsors what has come to be known as one of the most exciting events of the year. Every year nomina- tions for officers of the Victory Council are made by the school, and the following few weeks are almost as exciting as a national political campaign. Each candidate selects a sponsor, banners, speeches, posters, and confusion in general result. At the end of a required time, each candidate is given an opportunity to present his qualifications before the student body. Elections follow immediately, and the school once more settles into its original tranquil routine. This year's officers have been Ioe Boyle, president, Phil Hyslop, vice-president, Doris Cruger, secretary, and Doug- las Mullen, treasurer.
