STUDENTS ASSIST ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF SCHOOL ANNOUNCER Many new extracurricular activities have been added to the large number which Montpelier High School had last year. One of those which were added was school an- nouncer. Being a new activity much experimenting was carried on in this field. For the first half year, there was but one person to do all the work connected with the announcing, but during the second half each Senior was given a chance to announce, while the real announcer served as supervisor of the project. STUDENT OFFICE AID Efficient workers! That is the call of toe morrow. lt is up to the present generation to answer this challenge. They must have a foresight of how to meet this demand by preparing for the right thing. All classes, Freshman, Sophomore, Iunior, and Senior may participate. Each student has a chance to gain knowledge of all tasks. A few are cutting ditto copies, using the adding machine, running the mimeograph machine, cutting stencils, checking attend- ance, answering the telephone, sorting mail, extra tying or anything they see to be com- pleted. Such a chance of preparedness comes from office aid. HALL RECEPTION You need not feel disturbed or ill at ease, when you visit our High School, for you will be greeted in the hall by one of our recep- tionists, who are on duty each period of the day to direct visitors to the section of the building they desire to visit. They will direct you to any student or member of the faculty you wish. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club consists of ten girls who keep the library in top condition. The books are well handled and cared for. These stu- dents are helpful in finding material and checking books in and out of the library. They have full charge and authority while on duty during the special periods to which they are assigned. THE BULLETIN BOARD lt is not a new theory that bulletin boards attract attention, for scarcely a period of the day passes, but a dozen or more students will stop to consult the advertisements, or peruse a dramatic program, or see if their name is scheduled for an athletic event. CANNED HEAT Stokers are indeed a happy invention and a much needed device in large buildings, where uniform heating is desired. Page II

BECHTOL, Vice-President Retired Physician STABILITY IN A CHANGING WORLD by Madonna Herman Public education -and public assembly are the life stream of democracy, thus no curtail- ment can be justified in these fields. Henry Ford says, 'llf We can afford to spend billions on War, We can afford to spend millions on education. Public education, public health and child nutrition must be considered a part of the war budget and outlay for defense. Too, We must intensify educational, relig- ious, and entertainment activities that morale may be kept at high pitch and pro- duction energy increased. Our schools must not only fight to Win, but must prepare for a peace that is to fol- low, built upon international unity and brotherly love, bounded by a spiritual pow- er that is everlasting. DR. L.

OUR SUPERINTENDENT SPEAKS KEEP YOUR BALANCE Supt., H. M. Shaeffer Education is economically a productive enterprise that must be maintained as one of the most essential defense measures. What We put into our schools now, We put into our homes, our societies and our nation. lf We permit a blackout in this lnstitution of Society, We Will be untrue to our brothers in khaki who have left the 'Ullorch of Learn- ing in our hands that it may light their homeward journey. Passive resistance will not stop those Who are engaged in attempting to destroy all mental and spiritual integrity. Children are our only real assets. lf We can afford war, We can also afford education H. M. SHAEFFER, AB., Montpelier, Ohio. Heidelberg, Ohio State University which will give our children their birthright of health and education on a higher plane of living, with culture and security as pre- reguisities. Perhaps some of the rebuffs that have al- ready been handed our khaki clad, were direct resultants of our inability to furnish skilled and professional men to produce planes, tanks and ships. Yes, the price We pay in blood, because We listened too long to the taxpayers wail, that schools cost too much may be a boomerang for educations' cause. ln these troubled times of change and ex- citement, do not make money your God for the payroll of the moment, maybe only an idle dream tomorrow, and you will find yourself incapable of filling the place de- signed for you by the Gods. Invest your funds in all the intellectual bonds you are able to obtain and forge a background, that Will furnish dividends for you to live in a World that will be different than any World we know today. You are coming to a parting of the Ways. ln the one direction, beckons the armed serv- ices of your country. ln the other lies op- portunity to do constructive Work in your chosen profession on the home front. Serve well your country and your God, so the American Way of life may prevail. Page 12
