to the o ice . The Boys —SDHS boys have made a splendid war-time response this semester to the demands of the armed forces as well as industry. Forty took the civ.lian qualifying test for the Army and Navy college training program, this number representing approximately three-fourths of the available Senior A boys, as about fifteen of the class are already inducted into the armed forces. Nearly three hundred boys helped to relieve the manpower shortage by working three or four hour shifts in industry. This all adds up to- a very creditable contribution to the war effort.—W. J. Lyons, Vice Principal The Girls —The war has brought to the high school girl the dilemma of discharging adequately her war-time responsibilities on the home-front, while at the same time preparing for a new and challenging post-war world. In active participation in school activities directing their programs towards war-time service, most girls have found their greatest satisfaction. Service, like all ideals, motivates the participant to develop certain indi¬ vidual qualities which make her more competent and effective as a person, as well as more intelligently considerate when carrying out her social and civic responsibilities. The girl of 1943 through service and by striving to attain worthy goals can live most adequately now and be assured of a worthy life in that inevitable but obscure new world of tomorrow.— Ruth Munsell, Dean RUTH MUNSELL, Dean W. J. LYONS, Vice Principal
