Enjoy it now: lay it aside until the pages are mellow with age: then, we hope. it will bring to you a store of pleasant memories and a deeper appreciation of the privileges and pleasures afforded by school life in a democrary. l l '1H1l'- 02 gihwe fn ywifmbe Alumni of St. Charles High, along with hun- dreds of stalwart young men from all over the United States. are now fighting to preserve the ideals and privileges of our democracy. These boys who, but a few months ago, were walking along the streets of St. Charles, carefree and confident, have been called to defend the rights that they, and we. cherish so highly. Therefore, we who reap the benefits of democ- racy deem it an honor and a privilege to dedicate this page to those who are willingly sacrificing their lives that democracy might live. --.. tm My my-hm M y If 'Ng' X' --Q.vs.,,,, i .... NOW, in this decade of totalitarianism, we can more fully under- stand and value the meaning of school life in a democracy. ln our school, democracy is carried out through student government: free expression and discussion of ideas and opinions: participation in clubs, sports and social activities. By taking an active part in any of these various school activities, every student is given an oppor- tunity to broaden his knowledge and personality toward the ulti- mate result of becoming a more worth while citizen. Our schools are the cradles of democracy, and, through the training in demo- cratic principles which they impart, this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. 001 W WJ!

C. H. S., Mr. Jones ably demonstrated his fine characteristics that fully qualify him as a leader of high school students. A principals job is by no means easy. but Mr. Jones, through perseverence, fair standards, and an ever friendly attitude, deservedly gained the respect and admira- tion of the entire student body. ,,,Eaaacfof.-gcfucaiaa. OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education, the adminis- trators of our public school system, is com- posed of six members. who serve three year terms, two members being elected every year. These men willingly and tire- lessly devote their time and effort to the numerous problems which confront them. It is the School Board that provides the necessary money for the school's up-keep and establishes its general policies. The members of the board are directly responsi- ble to the public that elects them, and it is their obligation to give the public the improvements that they deem most bene- ficial. Solely interested in the betterment of the average student, they are always open to new methods for improvement of the educational facilities in the schools. XVe realize the responsibilities and dif- ficulties that face the School Board, and we appreciate the time and service which they so willingly devote to the solving of these important problems. Fiqh!

XVASSIWY ffluuv I X Twelve HE classroom is the starting point of a suc- cessful democracy-made up of the people, the students, who are training for their indi- vidual parts, whether great or small, as citizens of this free nation. Through actual practice in taking the initiative, students learn to develop self-reliance and clear-thinking habits. Today, democracy is more prevalent than ever, and it is only natural to surmise that discussions con- cerning the causes and aftermaths of a war being fought to preserve that very democracy should play an important role in every classroom. In class, freedom of action and speech governed only by a few necessary rules tends to promote interest and individuality in our schools. It is this same freedom, giving youth a chance to practice the principles of free government. that trains them for their future participation in this democracy. ,ma Qs llwlwr SCIINARR MOUND SCHNEDLIIR SFILING STRUCKNIANN CARR SIEBACHLR IDWYIER DOLORES SCHNARR When she's with you, she'll stick through any fray: XVhen she's against you, it's best to keep away.

No wallflowers or stag lines of Sophomores hampered the dancing as their exuberant jitter-bugs crowded the floor. This group of students is by no means infallible-they have their faults as well as their good characteristics, but generally speaking, the Sophomores may be con- sidered one of the most all-around classes of the school.

Upon entering high school, these students were confronted with many major adjustments which complicated Donald Hallemeier their routine of studies and pastimes. Yet, with all these difficulties, the Freshmen were still able to keep up their high spirits and exuberant eagerness. They had a way of putting their best into every- thing that they undertook. This charac- teristic is an important factor in their successful productions. Although the talents of the Freshmen are still in a period of development, the E la5mae steady improvements they are making fore- tell a future of many accomplishments. So far this year. the Freshmen have produced several promising musicians, actors and actresses, and athletes. The Freshmen. generally the most underrated of all students, were, in reality. a class that deserved a lot of credit. Therefore. in recognition of this fact. we are proud to present the Freshman Class! larsl Row Marvin l'mller. Ruth llullrah, llnward llnrscherl, Helly .lean l.irnperl, Ralph Kntlernschild.

A well-developed mind is useless without a strong body, it can be com- pared to an automobile without a driver-both have the ability to go forward, but both lack the power to make them go. Athletics. by the people, always important in the school program, now, more than ever, are coming into prominence because the nation is calling for strong men. In our school, as in similar schools all over the United States. athletics and physical training programs have been pushed to the front line of attention. After thorough physical examinations for corrective and preventive purposes, the students partici- pate in interscholastic football, basketball, and track, intramural sports, routine gymnastics and military drill.

HE football season of 1942, in spite of gasoline rationing and other obsta- cles, proved to be one of the most thrilling and successful in S. C. H. S.'s history. ln the first game of the season on Sep- tember l8, the Pirates were hosts to the Central team. During the first period, McCoy scored on a pass from Wallen- brock. but the try for the extra point was unsuccessful. Again gaining the offensive in the third period, Wallenbrock passed to 'Wardlow for another touchdown, and Fischer's kick split the goal posts perfectly. The Hnal touchdown was another Wallen- brock-McCoy combination, followed by Fischer's successful try for the extra point. All three touchdowns were scored on passes by our hard-tackling, fast-charging team. The game ended with the score- board reading St. Charles 20, Central 0. What was originally scheduled as an open date, September 25, turned into a contest between our Pirates and the Colon- naders of McBride. The Colonnaders Thzrtg-six were completely bewildered by the smooth coordination of our team when it opened up its deadly aerial attack. In the second quarter, Wardlow circled to the left on McBride's two-yard line for the first touchdown, but the try for the extra point failed. Later, Wallenbrock tossed a pass to McCoy in the end zone for another 6 points, and Fischer ran over the goal line for one more. McBride, famed for passing, did not even attempt one until the fourth quarter and it was intercepted by Wardlow. The ball was again carried across the goal by Fischer, but his kick was blocked. In the same quarter, Ward- low and Fischer alternated and on their fourth try Wardlow scored another touch- down. Fischer's place-kick was good and we tucked away our second victory, 26-O. On the following Friday, the Pirates journeyed to Ritenour. This game was the opening Little Five contest for both teams. The first quarter was fought on even terms and then, in the second quar- ter, like a bolt out of the blue came a pass from Wallenbrock to Stiegemeier who raced '55 yards for a touchdown. Fischer's kick was wide, and the score at the half was 6-0. That ended the scoring for the evening, and when the final gun sounded. the Pirates emerged the victors of the hard- fought battle. The next game on the schedule was a home game on October 9, when the Pirates were hosts to Wellston. The first quarter was battled up and down the field: in the second, Pellarin of Wellston received a pass and charged over for a touchdown. Wellston failed to make the extra point, and they saw their 6-0 lead turn into a 6-6 tie when Wardlow raced 8 yards to pull down the ball for a touchdown. Fischer came through with the extra point to make the score 7-6. In the third quar- ter, McCoy in the end zone received a perfect pass from Wallenbrock. Fischer again kicked the extra point. The final score was St. Charles 14, Wellston 6. Wellston was the first team to score against the Pirates in four games. Our good luck and playing continued the following week when the Pirates humbled Crystal City, 40-6. Crystal City was forced to punt from behind its goal: Nieweg and Stiegemeier blocked the kick and tackled a Crystal City man for a 4 safety and 2 points. In the second period, the Pirates scored on an end zone pass to McCoy, another pass to Stiegemeier, and a plunge by Fischer. Fischer made good on the last attempt for the extra point to give us a 21-0 lead at the half. In the third quarter, Fischer crossed the stripe twice, and made both extra points. Most of the final half was played by reserves, except for the final touchdown which was scored by a pass to lVlcCoy in the end zone. Crystal City scored in the closing minutes on another end zone pass. The Pirates came home with their fifth straight vic- tory and were one of the four undefeated high school grid teams in the St. Louis district. The boys remained idle over the week- end of October 23, because De Soto can- celled its game, leaving an open date. Clayton was our guest at the Home- coming game. A heavy rain before the game, causing a muddy field and a slippery ball, slowed down the Pirates. Both teams battled determinedly. During the second quarter, with a lightning thrust, the Cirey- hounds scored on a pass from Roberts to Friday. Clayton failed to make the extra point, however, and the game stood at the half, Clayton 6, St. Charles 0. The Pirates came back in the third quarter to show their old power and fighting spirit. Ward- 1 Thirty seven flaazfdall low intercepted a pass and ran 30 yards to Clayton's 40 yard line. Fischer then went into action and carried the ball to the visitors' 22. Then, a pass failing, Clayton got possession of the ball and the Pirates toppled from the undefeated class. Throughout the game, Clayton, unable to dent the Pirates' line, made all gains on reverses around the ends. The score re- mained at the sound of the gun, St. Charles 0, Clayton 6. The game at Kirkwood on a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon promised to be a thriller, and it was just that. A muddy field and brilliant passing enabled Kirk- wood to hold a 13-0 lead at the half. The Pirates then began functioning and Fischer went over the goal in the first part of the third period for S. C.'s first 6 points. In the fourth period, Fischer dashed 51 yards to Kirkwood's 24 yard line. Fischer again took the ball on the 5 yard stripe and this time carried it over for the second touchdown. His run around the end for the extra point was thwarted, however. As the final gun sounded, the Thirty-eight Pirates saw their chances for the Little Five title depart as they went down in defeat by the close score of Kirkwood 13. St. Charles 12. The last game of the season was a home game with Mexico High School on November 13. Mexico was accredited with being the hardest team that the Pirates had tackled all season. In the first period, Mexico marched 40 yards for a touch- down to take a 6 point lead over St. Charles. In the second quarter, Bill Mitchell was injured and had to be car- ried off the field, leaving the Pirates with- out their trusty guard. After the half, the Pirates came out fighting, determined to win the game for Bill. Wallenbrock tossed a long pass to Wardlow for a Pirate touchdown, tying the score. Fischer made the extra point to win the game, 7-6, ending an exciting season. We praise the 1942 football squad for its excellent playing, its sportsmanship, and its high ideals. Three cheers for the 1942 football squad!!! frlili St. Charles quintet completed this year's successful season with a record of I3 victories and 8 defeats. They began the season with a thrilling victory over the mighty Clayton Grey- hounds by a score of 28-27. Next they easily brushed off Jennings with a 45 to l7 victory. To our dismay. they lost to the overwhelming Kirkwood team: but they polished off Ritenour '56-22. The Christmas tournament proved to be a failure, for the Pirates lost to South Side Catholic and Wellston. They came back again with more spirit to defeat Maplewood. After the holidays the Pirates again battled Wellston, but lost a heart-breaking contest by only 3 points. Hitting their stride temporarily. the boys defeated Web- B ster Ciroves and Normandy: but they lost the next games to Kirkwood and Ritenour. However, the tide turned, and the tean. plunged into a series of 4 victories by de- feating Maplewood, Clayton, Wellstoii. and Western Military. But again their good luck changed and the Pirates lost to the U. City team 'Sl-30 after an exciting. hard-fought game. The blue and white came through again and defeated Jennings. After drawing a bye in the Sub- Regional Tournament, the Pirates defeated Jennings for the third time: but were beaten by Beaumont. The Pirates brought the season to a close by crushing Soldan 62-39, thus winding up one of the best seasons for the past few years. St. Charles finished third in both the Suburban League and Regional. l'irst Row li Mtkoy. ll. Moore, XX ardluw. Capt., Hrllrich, VJ. Hollrah. Srimul Row liucher. lletrich. U Slwgemeier. M, Nlcfinv.

S. again this year turned out a track team that was capable of defeating some of the strongest district teams in dual meets, including Clayton, Kirkwood, Maplewood, and Normandy. New records were established in almost every meet this year. In the first practice track meet between St. Charles and Maple- wood, Baum tossed the junior shot 52 feet l inch to break his mark of 49 feet established last year. He heaved the senior shot 43 feet 82 inches to break another record, and in the junior discus, his heave of 122 feet ll inches broke his 1942 mark by three feet. The next venture for the track team was a dual meet with Clayton. Baum's toss in the junior shot of 54 feet broke the record he had established earlier in the week. Clayton forfeited the senior mile, shot, discus, and relay to trail the Pirates 79-33, while they failed to compete in the pole vault and junior relay, giving the Pirates a 55-49 margin in that division. The Pirates entered the Clayton Invita- tional, and came out with second place in competition with nine other schools. Wardlow set a new mark in the 880 when he was timed at 2:O5.l. Mudd broke the record in the high jump and Wardlow came back to set a new high in the mile of 4:46.9. Next, the Pirates journeyed to the U. City Invitational, where they came in fourth. On May 8, the track team journeyed to Columbia to participate in the state track meet. This year, St. Charles entered in the B division and won first place with a total of 335, points. Gordon Mudd, with a first place in the broad jump, a second in the 220 yard dash, and a third in the high jump, tied for honors as high point man of the meet. Jack Wardlow and Harlan Stiegemeier each won 8 points for St. Charles. The track team is to be congratulated for the fine record it has made this year, both in dual meets and in the invitational and state meets. First Row: R. Knoernschild, R.

Al- though the tournament was held more for the boys' enjoyment than for the development of skills. each game was a determined, all-out struggle for the victory. After the schedule was finally completed, the two deserving teams of Joe Barmueller and Kenneth Kottman rose as champions in their respective divisions. As a means of devel- oping interest in basketball and in promoting health and sportsman- ship. the intramural basketball tournament is unexcelled. aa'.,4wa,e ' HE Senior girls' hockey team, after a series of hotly contested battles with the Freshmen, Sophomores. and Juniors, emerged as victors of the girls' intramural hockey tournament.

In the many, varied organizations in our school's club program, every student has the opportunity to find a club that suits his interests and abilities. He may take part in choral groups or learn to play a musical instrument. By participating in any of these activities, a student may develop his talents and, at the same time, contribute to the cultural life of the school. School organizations are for the people. They build personality by presenting oppor- tunities for varied experiences and a broadened Held of interests. There is no better Way to develop these interests than through organized groups. These organizations have helped to bring about a deeper appreciation of the school privileges of American youth. -I--Joe We wife Forty-four rrlu Inu Run R Kmwrnwluld. Allyn, I7 ll.xIlcl1wu'r.

O CREATE Well-rounded personalities and to promote a more tolerant, well-balanced morale for all the people, social activities must be intermingled with scholastics. Asso- ciation With others is a necessary factor in build- ing poise and congeniality-when a young per- son has learned to associate with all types of individuals, he has discovered the secret of success. This year, despite difficulties resulting from the war, St. Charles High has tried to keep up its social life. School parties were held as usual, and although decorations and refreshments were somewhat curtailed, the fun and gaiety remained plentiful. Social diversions for all the people enable youth to face life with a fresh outlook and a new determination. ive!! Jke UW! Fifty-eight We Paueni Sixty Miss SHIRLEY RUPP.

Smile pretty. look at the birdie. pay the damages, and that's all there is to it. Then. when you get your proofs. you can tell every- body how perfectly awful you look. Don't worry, there's always that obliging fellow who will write all over your face in the Charlemo anyway. Yes. you've guessed it. we had our pictures taken for the Charlemo today. Seventy one Galemlm 1942-43 December 2. More pictures--Juniors today. And don't worry about what you're going to smile about when the photographer gives you that smile sign. There are always plenty of faces looking through the window to make you give. December 4. Off to a good start in the basketball season-we won our first game from Clayton, 28-27. Since gas rationing, the bc-ys take a bus to the game. We hear it's pretty chilly standing in the cold when you miss your bus. Of course. you can always start a bon-fire. December 8. That dreaded day is here again-you know, the day you get those little white cards to take home to your parents. Better luck next time. you who got low grades, and more power to you who made those E grades. Oh! for the brain of a genius! December 9. Ahh!! Assembly today, and what have we here? The Lindenwood girls gave us a musical program. Any time they would like to pay us another visit. it's strictly OK with the student body. How about it, boys? December' ll. At last-the long-awaited football party. Everyone had a wonderful time and the football boys certainly knew what they were doing when they elected the football queen. Yes siree!! December 14. You had better be home in bed by 10:00 tonight. Well. anyway, have all the lights out and make St. Charles' Hrst black-out a good one. December 15. First home basketball game with Jennings, and another victory for S. C. H. S., 38-18. Good work, fellows. Keep it up! December 16. Prof. CPopl Skinner and his musi- cal wonders presented our weekly assembly this morning, with some exhibitions by the musical students of S. C. H. S. We really enjoy these assemblies. Let's have more of them. December 17. And today we receive our long- awaited Charlemo pictures. Cross your fingers, close your eyes. hold your breath, then take a quick squint at your pictures. See? Well, what did you expect anyway-Hedy Lamarr? December 18. I guess we can't win every time, but we do try. Kirkwood beat us by a score of 49-32. I.et's knock 'em cold next time, team. December 23. How did this happen so soon? Do you realize that today is the last day of school this year? Oh, I get it. We're just having a holiday for Christmas. Well, Merry Christmas, anyway! I'll see you all back again in 1943. January 4. Here we are-back in school with all of those New Year's Resolutions going into effect, such as: more time out for studies, better grades. etc. January 5. If they weren't good the first time, try, try again! Charlemo retakes, today. Maybe I'll look better this time. OK, kids, none of those dirty cracks. January 6. I didn't really believe that the hand is quicker than the eye-until today. Another lyceum today-this time, we had one swell magician. Wonder if he could make my Latin book disappear that way? January 8. Defeated by Wellston. 30-27! But what a game! I'm hoarse from yelling and I know I'm not by myself in that. This game was a close one, fellows, but 1et's be on the top next time. Seventy-two January 11. Girls' noon-hour basketball started today-the No Pointers vs. Bugs and her Five Beetles. The Bugs slipped-16-10. January 12. Now, for boy's noon hour basketball. It looks more like a football game to me-a sock here and a tackle there. I pity the poor referee. He really has a time keeping up with all of those fouls. January 13. Come on. students, let's make this Victory Corps a success. This morning's as- sembly, headed by Norman, was very interesting. We were given details on the Victory Corps organization, which is soon to be formed in S. C. H. S. We'l1 have a physical fitness gym program, a drill squad. and all the rest. January 14. Say, Canada isn't such a bad place- beautiful scenery, too. We had another assembly today with slides on Canada. Mr. Conoyer di- recting. It was really interesting. The lights were out. but I didn't see even one person taking a quick nap. January 19. Tough luck-lost again! But we'll make up for that next Friday. Kirkwood played here and came out on top by a score of 43-20. And to think, we were ahead 9 points at the end of the Hrst quarter. Ain't that a fright? January 20. The long awaited lyceum presented by The Misner Players has come at last. Everyone really enjoyed their play, Rip Van Winkle. and a-so-forth, and a-so-forth, and a-so-forth. January 21. And another lyceum today. This time we heard a wild animal talk. CDoes that statement sound queer?D Anyway, Mr. Maslo- wski presented an excellent film based on Yellow Stone National Park, Mr. Jones also promised us our regular schedules again, soon. January 26. Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. the boys are marching. Military drill begins today with 145 of our handsome he-men getting in on a little practice just in case--. Mr. Dallmeyer is directing this new course. January 27. Three charming Junior girls. Zella Ann Deuser, Mary Van Cleve, and Marjorie Wilkie, were today nominated by the basketball squad, as candidates for the enviable title of Basketball Sweetheart. February 5. We bow in humble respect to the Bas- ketball Sweetheart of 1943, Miss Marjorie Wilkie. Congratulations!! We celebrated with a dance in her honor. February 10. What? No assembly again? But then. classes are pretty well chopped up because of military drill anyway, so-. February 11. News, and gossip, slam, slam, slam! The Pirate Patter was dished out again today, and I might say the staff is doing a good job on this paper. It keeps us up in the latest happen- ings in and about school. February 12. Tough luck again, fel1as'. That was too close for comfort. University City won by a close margin of 31-30. February 16. Ah! We did it! Beat Jennings by a high and mighty score of 28-14. How's that for closing the season? You did a swell job this year, fellas'. Now, all out for track. February 20. Here's one girl you can trust with a secret. How many of you could keep it quiet that you have been married three months? The students of S. C. H. S. wish you a happy married life. Wanda. February 24. We had one of those rare assemblies today- Pop and his musicians again. The band gave out with a new number, this time. 'Ol Man River. P. S. We all enjoyed it very much. February 26. The Sophomore Class had its annual party this evening. And we hear it was quite a get-together. At least. it's the topic of con- versation among the Sophies. March 3. Harry James doesn't have a thing on us! Why. Joe is twice as good! The Seniors had their assembly today to show off their talent fwhatever that may bej. The orchestra was the main feature of attraction, but the style show put on by the glamorous men of the class was a close rival. March 4. The F. F. A. fFuture Farmers of Ameri- ca. for your informationj held a banquet for all members and fathers of the organization. Under the leadership of Mr. Evans. the F. F. A. has grown into one of the school's best-known clubs. Good work! March 5. We've waited weeks for this-the Fresh- man Dramatic Club plays. We have quite some actors and actresses in our midst. The plays were rather short, but ve-r-y good. March ll. Get a glimmer of that. girls.-not bad! He can twirl a baton. too! What won't we have next? The Kirksville State Teacher's College Representative brought with him the national champion baton twirler. And I do mean he was good! Ah! But definitely. March l7. We must admit, Janie. your voice is a little high for a boy. The mighty Freshman Class gave its assembly today on the miracles of radio. By the way. these Freshman rate tops for a swell assembly. March l8. The Seniors. the class of '43, chose to dedicate this year's Charlemo to Mr. Conoyer and I don't think they could have made a wiser choice. Mr. Conoyer has done a great deal for our class in pushing, pulling and dragging every- one of us through our entire four years of school here. March 20. Congratulations. Ann. Can't you give us a hint on how you managed to hook your man into a wedding ring? Lucky you-and we might add, lucky man. too. March 24. Sophomore Class Assembly. Just to refresh the memories of the childhood days of our faculty, a number of students dressed up to picture them as they used to be. Laugh! I thought l'd split my sides! So far-just about the best of the year. March 25. Today. the girls' gym class tried to tackle the boys' obstacle course. We were cer- tainly plenty awkward in climbing that high board wall. but give us time. It can't take more than a year to learn. fOr can it?J March 31. Forensic Club takes over the assembly for the day. Quite a gang of speakers. Mr. Wasson has developed. l'd say they're doing OK. G 1944.2 -43 April l. For a change. it's the girls who wear the pants to school. But, thank goodness fthe teach- ers sayj, it's only once a year-Tacky Day. The assembly at the end of the day was one of the best. Ken Bruns won the costume prize-with those legs. I think he should have been a girl. April 6. The F. F. A. had its assembly today. And do we like this kind! Three motion pic- tures. two on Food for the Nation, and one on the activities of the Future Farmers. April 7. The King and Queen of the Charlemo- Miss Shirley Mae Rupp and Mr. Jack Wallen- brock. Very appropriate. don't you think? Con- gratulations, Shirley and Jack! April 14. The Spanish Club gave the assembly today. Six members of the club sang Brazil and La Cucuracha. They're pretty good, too. Two films on the Latin American countries were also shown. April 19. Come on. you Seniors! Let's catch up on our class dues. Begin the month of May with a clear conscience. The Senior Class is running a little short on funds. so let's help out. What do you say? April 22. The Junior Class presented its assembly today-and did we like it!! Particularly that little number by those two rhythm gals. Red and Queenie. April 28. Today the Latin Club did its bit in contributing to the assembly. Are these long flowing gowns the new fashion? Just count me out if they are. Imagine dancing in something like that. And has this shoe situation got you down, girls, or are you used to running barefoot? May 5. Is this all we have? Another assembly. The Freshman Dramatic Club gave two one-act plays. Not bad, not bad! May 7. Spring Concert--and did we shine! It seems as though our music makers get better every year. X May l2. This is the kind of assembly we like- picture shows. The Hi-Y Club had charge of the assembly today. May 14. At last-the May Fete and all of the glories of spring. War has had some effect on this annual festivity. of course. but. it still holds all the beauty and splendor of a spring day. Here's a new one to credit to the Senior Class. A dance was held after the May Fete. This should be made an annual affair. June 10. Today is Class Day for the Seniors- with the class will. prophecy. and poem. It won't be long now, Seniors. Your high school education is just about at its end. June ll. Can't Get Out of This Mood --our last day as Seniors. lsn't it an awful feeling? ln the morning we had the final assembly with awards given for those deserving students. Commencement. and finally, we receive those hard-earned diplomas. Good luck, fellow stu- dents. You're on your own now. Make the best of it! Did you bear through with me? Thanks loads. you've been swell! Hope you've enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing this master- piece CU So long! Seventy three S. G. 64. S., '42-'43 Sevenly-follr Aint love grand? Guess who?

Participating actively in scrap drives and in salvages ol' tin cans. sillxs, and paper, the students have done their utmost to help in the war effort. 'l'he organization of the Victory Corps has led to more student cooperation and greater accomplishments. As one of the major divisions of the Victory Corps. the physical fitness program provided milif Una Sched ai Wm tary drill and calisthenics. The patriotic spirit which prompted the students to buy war bonds and stamps enabled the school to purchase three jeeps. Other war-time activities in St. Charles High School have included assistance to the various rationing boards and to the Red Cross, help in tale ing the school census, and participation in the Civilian Defense Corps. ln these and in other activities, S.
