Brown, whom we remember as our chemistry teacher, now stationed at Glenview, Illinois, asks us to make our train- ing at Mt. L. a training for peace rather than for war. Lt. Fred Ford, our test supervisor, appreciates the gesture of including the pictures and messages of teachers in service: and sends best wishes to each of us in the task that lies ahead. Lt. Colonel Glafka, our unforgotten biology teacher, now in Athens, Greece, tells us the time is not too far distant when the results of all our endeavors will have been gained. Lt. Gordon, our truant officer, writes from Norfolk, Virginia: Ahoy, Mates, to all my old and new shipmates and officers, specially 'smooth sailing' to the classes to be launched in Feb- ruary and Iune, for I came aboard with most of you: and 'no rocks or shoals' to all those getting ready to sail: for those aboard, 'early arrivals' at your home port. Captain Grimes, who formerly taught physics, is now in South Carolina. There may be different ways to obtain success and happiness, but none so sure as that of having a good education.

Lt. Luecht, stationed at Iowa City, Iowa, Writes: I am hoping this thing will soon come to an end and bring us all back again to Mt. L. to start where we left off. We'll always remember him as our Mountie football coach. Lt. Florence McLaughlin, former typing teacher, now a Women's Naval Reserve Representative in Frederick, Maryland, writes, My thoughts are always with the Mt. L. boys in service. Here's wishing all of you 'smooth sailing.' S l,fc I. F. Mehner, who really knew biology, writes from New Port, R. I., I wish you achievement, happiness, and success in the coming years.

THE CREW, TOO Who shall it be? Miss Funk, Mr. Mills, cmd Mrs. Gooding debate all pos- sibilities for casting this play. They teach English, public speaking, and Spanish, respectively. Our industrious sponsor of activities, Miss Taylor, tries to sell a hot dog to our English teacher, Mrs. Morgan. Miss McClure, who teaches Latin, seems to be enjoying hers already. How could we get along without our coaches! Mr. Beckert is assisted in keeping the team in good shape by Mr. Swanson Clettl and Mr. Srp Crightl. Miss Patterson and Miss Zahniser in- vestigate the material just removed from their mail boxes. Between the two of them, we should learn some Latin and French. Mollusks and Arthropods, in addition to fish, are observed in these aquaria by Mr. Gilbert, Mrs. Sherman, and the cadet, Miss Keiser. The animals and plants deal with their subject, biology. A former coach of our football team, Coach Luecht, is now a lieutenant in the Navy. Here he is, snapped at one of the Mounties' exciting games. . - , , 'Ns

IN ALL BRANCHES OF THE SERVICE effort, advancements in 1945 will surpass those of the past years. Miss Katheran Stoner, our former class play sponsor and public speaking teacher, is working with the Red Cross as recreational director at the Walter Heed Hospital, Washington, D. C. Lt. Streams, who taught us plane geometry, writes from Holly- wood, Florida, I appreciated the thoughtfulness of Mt. L. friends during my recent illness. If you have a service friend in the hos- pital, please write him. Lt. Earl Whipkey, of algebraic fame, writes from Pensacola, Flor- ida, Every day I realize what an important task you are per- forming. You are contributing much toward the War effort through your good school training. 2nd Lt. Bald Lt. Bromberick Lt. ti.q.l Brown Lt. Ford Lt. Col. Glafka Lt, fi.q.l Gordon Qixg ' Capt. Grimes Sp.
