“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands: One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” M. H. S. WAR EFFORT On October 5, we started a scrap drive, that is perhaps the biggest thing our school has done. School was excused for two days and 20 tons of scrap were collected. When this was sold it brought $87.00, and this was given to the Red Cross. It was a lot of fun and all the students knew they were working for something really worth while. Some changes have been made in the school too. Some of which are listed as follows: A Physical Fitness program has been started and club activities have been cur¬ tailed. Current Events is taught in all the social studies. Aeronautics is being taught for the first time this year. Prizes were given to those who sold the most War Bonds and Stamps. The commercial department is training post-graduates and older pupils for typist work in Washington, D. C. Many more boys have taken mathematics. Greater stress has been given to consumer education in science and in the home eco¬ nomical courses. The girls have been given a course in First Aid the last semester. Many of the boys in the Junior and particularly the Senior class have been draft¬ ed or will be drafted soon. Most of them will be deferred until the end of the school year. Our school has tried to do its little bit to help on this world-wide war drive. We all hope that we can do many other things, which seem little to us, but in the end amount up to helping win the war. Let’s all try harder to help and be of all the benefit we can to our country.
