HE entrance of the United States into World War II not only transformed Sault Ste. Marie, an artery for the flow of all-important war materials, into a vast defense zone, but brought many changes and new activity to Sault High. The buying of war stamps and bonds, greater emphasis on health, increased stress on democratic living, the broadcasting of minute-man speeches, the con- struction of model aeroplanes, the building of air raid shelters and the practicing of air alerts, the study of first aid procedures, the campaigning for salvage materials, the quartering of soldiers tempor- arily in the gym-these and many more are among the activities which stepped up the tempo of school life and which were among Sault High's contribu- tions toward the war effort. Not until after Pearl Harbor did the weekly sales of war stamps actually soar. Sault High turned in only S9 the week of December 1, but Decem- ber 15 sales mounted to 834.855 and on January 12 sales reached their peak-Sl85.20. The total amount taken in by Sault schools on April 19 was S9,722.35. Pictured here are three seniors-Viola Kemp, jim Pierce, and Alvar Honka-buying war stamps in the office. Realizing that a victorious America must be a healthy America, the health committee of the fac- ulty recommended that candy not be sold in the hall this year, and so apple and peanut and cookie sales replaced those of the candy bar. Greater adver- tising was given to the school cafeteria, which served nourishing and inexpensive meals from late fall until early spring. Here is a typical noonday scene in the school lunchroom, so ably managed by Miss Frances Zimmerman and her staff of girls from home economics classes. A scene from one of the mock trials conducted at the County Court House by students of an American Problems class reveals one of the ways in which students learn the nature of democratic living, for the services which the American Prob- lems students have performed are in reality a pro- tection of this democracy. Many pupils helped at voting precincts during several elections this year. On two registration days they assisted the teachers who were conducting national registration of men for the armed services. These pupils also made a survey of retail stores to determine how many were selling government war stamps and bonds. Seven members from the senior speech class wrote their own minute-man speeches and gave them over the local radio station. These talks urged the buying of war bonds and stamps, and for this ser- vice the speakers were given certificates from the government for their work. Preparing workers for America is undoubtedly a duty of the American schools. Such a task is carried out every day in numerous classes, especially those in the commercial and manual arts fields. A scene from one of Mr. Larson's typing classes shows fu- ture secretaries in the making. As in all other cities and towns over the nation, Sault Ste. Marie and Sault High became first aid conscious. A survey was made to determine how many students and teachers would be qualified to give first aid in case of an air attack or a similar disaster. Thirty-three teachers and a number of stu- dents were so qualified. However, by June a great many more teachers and some students will also be qualified because first aid classes were being well attended this spring. The picture here was snapped during one of the first aid class periods in the high school. Probably that event which caused the most ex- citement and which demanded some sacrifice for the war cause as well was the temporary quartering of soldiers in the high school gym. Twice during the second semester some 200 soldiers lived in the gym- nasium awaiting the building of new barracks. At these times Sault High students took an increased interest in the army, and in some classes, particularly in Miss Woldls English 6 groups, students made a thorough study of the army and obtained from the soldiers themselves first-hand information on fire arms, barrage balloons, gas masks, and many other phases of army life. Certainly it can be said that Sault High has been no Slouch in working for national defense and the winning of this world conflict. , .
