We Picked Cotton For Parachutes ln the face ot national emergency Uncle Sam sent out a call tor assistance in the tactory and on the tarm iield, thus hoping to bring together the loose ends of victory. From the most densely populated portions to the smallest community Americans re- sponded eagerly. Faced with a shortage ol cotton pickers, and knowing no alternative We dug right in and brought that cotton to market. Today, hundreds, perhaps thousands ot American airmen, are using parachutes made ot the crops that citizens of this community picked. This Cotton tor Victory program was backed wholeheartedly by the students and faculty members oi the Phoenix schools, who spent hours daily under the Arizona sun so that this project might be completed. EDUCATORS aren't too proud to tackle a job that needs doing! Supt. CQTT GN Rodgers h CENTER SID U1-11OQ,ixBOb PG I Q QSQC O Q lf Of! UCI' Ong Sic' .

Sure And Steady Feet For Tomorrow's Paths MANY A STUDENT LEADEB at Phoenix Union will Walk along tomorroW's paths with sure and steady feet. F or he will have learned how to meet the problems of to- morrow by taking part in similar problems today. Participation in student government is not restricted to a popular few. Every stu- dent enjoys the opportunity to run for of- fice, vote, and have an audible voice in class, club, and student body activities. Representative of this democratic pro- gram is the Board of Control set up. Every class sends delegates to serve on the board, and other officials, such as the student body officers, must be voted into office by ma- jority ballot. That our Merit System works can be generally agreedg but the system would fail quickly and utterly were it not for the thought and consideration the board mem- bers give each case as it comes up. No student who has appeared before the board has been known to complain of un- fair treatment. Cn the lighter side are the social duties of our leaders. Dances, games, class plays, special assemblies and the like give these people plenty of opportunity to demon- strate executive abilities. E - Boom, Boys' Federation Prexy and Lindstrom, Girls' Federa- tion head, take time out . . . to discuss the Weather. . ,,----q ASSISTANT SECBETARIES to the Board of Control shown with Mr. Butler are Farris, Peabody, Murphy, Davis, Goldie, Evans, Ellis, and Furst.
