Anne de Gregory LIBRARY A library is a place where the humblest youth may seize the golden key which admits him to stately halls where he may hold familiar converse with intellectual giants of all time. Within these doors, opportunity awaits those pupils who are ambitious to learn and eager to taste the pleasures of literature. In addition to substantial references for class work, our high school library is equipped with a fine stock of modern history and fiction. It is intelligently supervised by Miss de Gregory and her staff of assistants. For its patriotic contribution, the library prepared and shipped the books contributed by the Redstonians for the Victow Book campaign in February. William Orr AERONAUTICS Elementary Aeronautics has been added to our curricula this Year. ln this course, instructed by Mr. Orr, pupils are given much of the pre- flight study necessary in future pilot work. Not only do the students learn maneuvers of the airship, but they also dive into navigation, meteorology, aerodynamics, and the general science of a plane. Those pupils who have had this introduction to flying have acquired one of the most valuable modern weapons-an opportunity to serve their country in the present struggle for Democratic peace. When the final victory is here, these students will also be able to step easily into the new America, a nation with wings. Page 15

Marlo Madama Ellen Cardarelli ljq NI In L'J SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Ain't science grand! the Freshie exclaims as he discovers the won- ders of general science. This feeling is renewed his second year during his study of plant and animal life in biology. When the mysteries of chemistry and physics, or senior science, unfold, this expression is intensified until it emerges as lsn't science miraculous? The study of science will be useful to students entering the chemical and medical corps of the army or the manufacturing of such essential war products as synthetic rubber. The world of the future is the world of science. Our students will be ready to face the future. Victor J. LaButta William Sandmeyer INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The call is ringing out for men to work machines, and the boys of our industrial arts classes are preparing to answer that call. They have been trained in the work of electricity by Mr. Sandmeyer, while Mr. La- Butta has directed their work in wood-work. These boys, under their in- structors, have been very helpful in preparing the gym for our plays and class programs. They are now ready to serve their country, whether it be behind a machine or behind a machine gun. Page 14 Pore Grethel Eberhart Augustus Cardarelll

Goldlc Stewart Mary M. Bonner HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT ln a nation where the word rationing is everyday more common, the arts of sewing and cooking are becoming more difficult. Our sewing teacher, Miss Bonner, and our cooking teacher, Miss Stewart, help their students to adapt themselves to the present shortages of foods and materials, At Christmas time, a special project ot this department was the rehabilitation ot donated toys and clothing as gifts for needy children. An adjunct to the cooking classes was the Hot Lunch Program, spon- sored by the Federal Works Progress Administration. Lunches were served every day to the students and the faculty in the dining rooms in the Annex Building on the hill. The abolishment of the W. P. A. brought this program to o close in March, l943. A new lunch program, headed by Miss Stewart, was substituted. Page 16
