EDITORIALS OUR SCHOOL ' S EFFORT IN THE WAR Marjorie Hattin, ' 43 Ever since December 7, 1941, we, the students of Scituate High School, have noticed and patri- otically accepted the changes brought about by the war. The first of these changes came in the form of a great loss to the school when Mr. Gillespie, the sub-master for seventeen years, volunteered his services and entered the Navy with the com- mission of lieutenant. To those who had been in his classes, this was a sad event; for he had, in- deed, been a wonderful friend, who took great interest in his work. This, however, seemed to be only the beginning of our losses for during the last week of school our principal, Mr. Calkin, who was a major in the Officers ' Reserve, was called into active duty in the Army. Later Mr. Atkinson of the Commercial Department entered the Navy as an ensign. This year our athletic program has been greatly affected. Fewer football games than usual were scheduled as transportation was a difficult problem. But for the few games we did have, the school was all out with an unusually large crowd cheering the Scituate team on. Next, with the ban on pleasure driving, came the news that the basketball games which used to be played at night would take place in the afternoon. How- much fun it was those other years to get up in the balcony and cheer till our lungs nearly burst — especially during the last minutes of a close game! There wasn ' t the same spirit at after- noon games. We have had our share in the nation-wide drives, too. During the collection of tin foil, keys, books and magazines, we did our part to make the grand total grand; and boxes and bas- kets for the contributions became permanent fixtures in the various rooms. Since the first of this year we have been buying war stamps and bonds within the school, our average weekly sales being about $150. We entered the cam- paign to buy a jeep and succeeded in reach- ing the goal of $900, the cost of a jeep, in three weeks. I think that the greatest change that we have noticed has been in the number of assemblies we have had. Added expense, gasoline rationing, the breaking up of group acts, — all these have caused a great shortage of assemblies. However, in the magazine drive this year we sold enough subscriptions to get a sound projector for the school. In spite of a delay on account of prior- ities and war production difficulties, it is now well on its way, and will make possible many interesting assemblies. Despite the gasoline rationing we were able to have dancing school the first of the year, as many of us walked when there was no other way
