.lim- Auclitorium Means Escaped Tests, Happy Muskies The high school auditorium is not only the most useful room in the entire school but also the most blessed, for it is something going on in the audi- torium that allows the distraught student to grate- fully escape a test in a class or a boring hour in study hall. Although as a general rule the school provides more out-of-town assembly programs than those -IO of any other type, this year the students had to he content With more homeftalent programs. This fact was largely due to gas rationing. However, these programs put on hy students ot M. H. S. under the direction of the dramatic and music departments and hy various city organizations were Very successful. Muskies felt repaid for the precious class time they lost.

P. public relations and intelligence ofiicer, spoke at difterent meetings on meteorology and problems in navigation of an airplane. lf. L. Consoliver talked to the group when they studied airplane bodies and engines. These talks, along with the study of progress in War aviation, gave the club members new zest for aviation. The object of the pre-induction coL1rse given the first semester for Nlusky boys was to give them an opportunity to make themselves phys- ically lit for future induction into armed serv- ices. This group, under the supervision of Coach f'Skip,' KYeber, participated in a rigid stilicening program. All high school boys were eligible for the course, provided that they had studied or were studying required mathematics and science courses, were at least seventeen years of age, and had no serious physical de- fect. The course given by Coach Vileber was a strenuous one which provided excellent phys- ical development for those participating.
