THEME The boys of the United States Armed forces are the team and Uncle Sam is the coach. A situation similar to a football game, you say, well, hardly, for this is no game, this is war. Northern, Pontiac, Arthur Hill and Central boys are in there fighting side by side. They're not fighting as if their lives depended upon it, they're fighting because their lives do de- pend upon it. Instead of the fans shouting, Hold that line, Hold that line, Uncle Sam is shouting it at you. He's doing this for the team. What does he mean? Look at the top picture. On each line of that long roll of paper is the name of a Northern boy who has died in the service of his country and at your service. That list is not complete. The names of many others who are prisoners, wounded, or missing may be added. Iust how many names of boys Who are at present safe and healthy will fill those now empty spaces ? That's what Uncle Sam means when he says, Hold that line. How has the Viking endeavored to help do this? He has faithfully invested his dollars in War Bonds and Stamps this semester. ln doing so he has tightened the bond between the United Nations and victory, in the fr e e d o m sense of the Word. Time stabilizers-The number of Vikings who have died in the service of their country is growing and growing and in honor of these boys, the Sigma Chi Lambda Honor Society is planning a Serviceman's Memorial. The top picture shows Ianyce Westcott and Carl Christensen holding a list of the names of these boys. Each line contains one name but just how many are to be added will be determined by each person's efforts. Below, left to right, Donna Viall and Lois Caister are doing their part to Hold that line by purchasing War Bonds and Stamps, In doing this they are keeping the names of such boys as those pictured below from that list. Left to right, Martha Hamilton and Charlotte Kniese are shown admiring the pictures as they place them on display. Below, left to right, are Iackie Harrison, Leona Hemingway, Wyvonna Norberg, Eileen Moraw, Frankie Weiss and Martha Albert as they leave to do house to house campaigning for the War Chest.

THEME In the same process he has helped to stamp a veto on I-Iitler's and Hirohito's ideas of right and living while he has hastened the stamp of home-ward bound on our boys' orders. Yes, the Viking deserves his place on the Bond Wagon. During the Fourth War Loan Drive, various Northern girls volunteered their time and serv- ice to selling of War Bonds and Stamps in Flint theaters, while others canvassed from house to house for the War Chest. Northern staged scrap, paper, magazine, Red Cross, War Chest, and Easter Card Drives. No Simon LeGree or any Nazical facimile was necessary. Much scrap was collected, 4,850 pounds of magazines, 300 dollars for the Red Cross, 450 dollars for the War Chest, and 950 Easter Cards. The sewing classes made 250 garments for wounded soldiers. This was one of the Red Cross activities conducted at N. H. S. The boys also helped in this deed because they, if caught, were used for fittings. A talent contest staged by the drama class drew 65 dollars. This money was donated to the Iunior Red Cross Chapter for use in further- ing the servicemen's slippers project. Angels of mercy-For the past semester girls from the North- ern Community Health Class have been working at Hurley Hospital on Saturday mornings and Tuesday nights, The girls helped the nurses by making beds, giving baths and feeding patients.
