Administration Today the Star Spangled Banner is sweeping the country. A spirit of intense patriotism has seized the heart of every true American. This spirit is no idle emotion to be expressed only in song and speech. Instead it is a warm human effort shown and proved by service to our country and undying devotion to the ideals and practices of that country. So we in Minot High School are trying to do our part. By giving up small luxuries we have purchased war stamps throughout the year. Many of the boys, both graduates and members of our school, have joined their country's forces. Still more have entered war industries, so vital to the national program. Last, but far from least, we have those who are doing their bit on the farms of our state-growing the grain to feed the man behind the man behind the gun. Minot High has the ability to do its party Minot High has the resources to do its partg Minot High has the will to do its part. Minot High Sschool WILL do its part! Page Eight

Board of Education Mr. Franklin Mr. Piper Supt. White Mr, Liningtnn Mr. Thomas Mr. Lund. Soc. Mr. Gran, Pres. Golly, I feel like a new man! It just goes to show what a little paint can do for a fella. Here I was, just as drab as last year's Easter bonnet, and then-l bingo !-came the revolution. My walls are sparkling with new paint and my halls have brand new acoustical tile ceilings. Fresh as a daisy-'at's me! That, as you may have guessed, was the voice of dear ol' Minot Hi. He was speaking in appreciation of the various 'reanimation' jobs which have been carried on throughout our school under the super, supervision of the Board of Education during the past year. Surely every High School student has noticed the increased beauty of our building, but few realize the policy, effort, money, and general teamwork that stand behind such improvements. Every second Tuesday of every month this group of seven mighty men meet. During their meetings of the 1941-1942 school year they have worked unfailingly to improve the school buildings and grounds of Minot. The budget for this year is 3185,000, just 55,000 more than last year. With this money they have carried on the many odd jobs necessary to the well- being of Minot schools as well as those main projects which are the dreams of every principal. The policy behind this work has been a simple American war policy to make the most of what we have. Not only have the schools been beautified through this plan but they have been strengthened and made more lasting. At the present time it is only too evident how imperative such action is. Young American citizens need sturdy American schools in which to learn the American Way of Life. We are proud to say that Minot has such schools! The policy and effort of the Board of Education has seen and will see to that. Page Nine
