The American educational system has un- dergone several important changes during the two years since the Iapanese struck at Pearl Harbor. W'e have witnessed the de- velopment of and the tremendous expansion in pre-induction courses. Emphasis has been placed on the teaching of mathematics, phys- ics, chemistry, radio, aeronautics, shop work, English, and physical fitness-for these sub- jects are of importance to the Army and Navy. Since August l9, 1942, when the War Man- power Commission announced that all able- bodied male students are destined for the armed forces, the future education of the American youth upon reaching his eighteenth birthday has been in many respects a re- sponsibility of the Army and the Navy. Many of the courses for girls have also been changed to prepare them for their new im- portant tasks. The administering of this program and the attending to the great variety of duties, many of which must be performed daily to keep the entire system operating efficiently, are my responsibilities as principal of Niles lunior- Senior High School. W My Under the greatest handicap of any class in recent years, the 1944 graduating class has measured up. lt has been a source of great satisfaction to the faculty to see members of this class and other re- cent graduaies meet their new problems with energy and skill. Their records in the armed services have been a credit to themselves and to Niles High School. '71 60.
