Bulwarks Of Faith In Wartime Patriotism, isn't just the Word for it-the calm, sacrificing, helpful spirit evident among the mem- bers of Phoenix High's faculty during this crisis. Carrying on their routine tasks with a smile and offering encouragement to fellow teachers and stu- dents alike, the instructors are setting examples well Worth While. Some have decided that their first and foremost duty lies on the battle front, and so they have offered themselves to Uncle Sarn's fighting forces. But others, after consideration, have chosen to serve their coun- try by continuing their present occupations, those of training and strengthening today's youth for tomor- row's trials. For the future will depend solely upon the preparations made by those who are now too young for active participation as leaders in public life. Phoenix High can safely boast of an unusually efficient staff, for the qualifications necessary to teach here are far from lax. Each teacher, besides being Well-versed in his own subject, is prepared to assist in outside activities of various kinds, such as being a club sponsor, a home room adviser, and assisting on school programs. Thus, it can be seen that, besides the traditional readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmatic, Phoenix Union's modern plant provides instruction in other important activities. The modern teacher is considered another friend by the students, rather than a school master , lt is a common and encouraged practice for students to go to teachers and receive help, for the faculty realizes its responsibility in characters building, one of the school's main functions.

Preparing U For Real Job When the postman takes a vacation, he goes for a Walk, and when the war-time teacher's daily class- Work is done, she hurries home for a brief meal, then hikes back to school for an evening class in first aid work. Or perhaps to instruct an eager crowd of potential air pilots in the English, history, or math instruction needed to get them into the service. Our teachers are not 4 p.m. alarm clocks that sound the knell of their parting day as the last class ends. Realizing that the community needs Willing Workers in the churches, clubs, welfare organizations, and as special instructors, they have devoted and will continue to devote long hours of service where they feel they are of most use. Year in and year out, teachers such as these, Working with students such as us in cooperation with community leaders and interested parents, help to use events and circumstances in such a Way as to prepare us for the hard and very real jobs ahead. When the freshmen of today are seniors, and the seniors of today are seeking their fortunes in a rub- berless, sugarless world, teachers and parents will be to students the exhilarating force which keeps 'em flying. l'7At
