Cur Parents Keep Us Flying. Have you ever thought about who kept you flying every morning to get you to school on time, and who kept you from forgetting your books and your homework? lt's your parents, of course. These same parents, cooperating with the faculty, make up the membership of the P T A. Through the benefits of the P T A, 50 needy students have been aided in obtaining clothes this year. Many others have been aided by the P T A lending library. Likewise, the P T A brought enjoyment in i942 to Phoenicians by sponsoring the Fray and Braggiotti concert, at the same time raising funds for charitable work. Particular praise goes to Mrs. Fred McDonald, presidentg Mrs. Russell Peabody, first vice-president, Mrs. Warren Parker, second vice-presidentp Mrs. A. C.

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

Better Food-Better Workers W'hat will it be for lunch! A dash across the street for a hot dawg and a coke? Or will you be smart and head for the Cafeteria where piping hot and wholesome food awaits you-for no more than a hamburger or two would cost! Every day, with Kibus Club student aid, the Cafeteria serves thousands of students. Under the supervision of Mrs. Watson, nutritional food is prepared on a no-profit basis. At a time when well- cooked, nicely-balanced meals really contribute toward national defense, a policy such as our Cafeteria follows is doubly gratifying. Whenever there's to be a banquet or special dinner for any of our school groups, chances are that Mrs. Watson and her Cafeteria crew are on the job! I'LL TAKE THAT ONE! Mrs. Peniwell's happy at seeing that tempting piece of apple pie. At right, Messrs. Mont- gomery, Eastburn, Farringer, Gates, and Blackshare enjoy themselves with the rest of the faculty at a typical school banquet. Below, Mrs. Watson prepares the noon meal, while Stadium Club boys raise their glasses twaterl in a toast. i QZGJ
