NIECES AND NEPHEWS OF UNCLE SAM The school year of l942-43 was very different from the carefree days spent in the halls and rooms of Poky before Pearl Harbor. More and more as the year went by, pupils and teachers realized the full signifi- cance of the important role they play in gaining victory. Class work stressed civic loyalties and international understanding particularly with the other Americas. ln-stead of spending money for the usual da nc e decorations and refreshments, students and organizations bought War Savings Stamps and Bonds. Many students, in response to the call for labor, worked in defense plants and business houses. The student body, coming to the rescue of the former and the country, also har- vested the beet and potato crops. Girls knitted and rolled bandages for the Red Cross. ln helping out the recreational program, girls acted as junior hostesses at the U.S.O. and Memorial Hall. High school talent was in demand, too, for the shows at the local air base. At basketball and football games the flag was presented and The Star Spangled Banner played. Many seniors checked out at the end of the first semester to get higher education at various universities where entrance requirements were lowered for them. The lighter side of school life was not neglected, and dances, athletic contests, extra-curricular projects, music and dramatic productions were held as usual. All these activities were necessary to the morale. No matter what adjustment had to be mode, or what sacrifice was called for, Pocatello High School citizens responded gloriously.
