A1r Ra1c1s Something revolutionary has been happening in American lifeg that is the training of all civilians in air raid precautions. Although the chances of an air raid in any residential district are one out of one thousand, everyone is being prepared for any eventuality. Our school has been drilling in case of air raids. The purpose of this is to get every boy and girl accustomed to the rapid movement that is necessary for his or her safety. The sound of bells is the signal for everyone to get his belongings and go to his assigned place. Pupils who ride the bus are required to remain in the lower halls or the gymnasium. To pass the time groups are assigned to lead the others in singing songs until the bus arrives to take them home. The pupils who live in Library are sent home by Corporals, who are responsible for them. They must go directly home. No stopping. The officers are: General Donald Meredith, Major Thomas Lee, Colonel David Bashor, Lieutenants Edward Momon, Paul Droder, Edward Swatlio, Philip Frances, John Mcconkey, and Albert Barney.

It is inevitable that our schools, too, must be required to make sacrifices during the period of the emergency by manifestation of patriotism that will continue faith in the principles of our government, and hope for the future of our democracy. Your School Board has the fullest confidence in its Supervisory and Teaching Staff to warrant they are discharging their responsibilities in a manner appreciative of what is uppermost desired in these trying times. We realize that our schools will not escape the fate of that suffered by other enterprises. We, too, will be confronted with the problems of replacements and substitution of personnel and instruction material. How- ever, we shall endeavor to continue to provide the best of school opportunities for our boys and girls.

FACULTY We Remember Their Endeavors We are extremely sorry that the pictures of several members of our faculty will not ap- pear in The Aquila. When some of our present teachers became members of our High School Faculty, the pictures of their predecessors had already been sent to the engraver. When the budget for our yearbook was set up we were forced to limit the number of en- graving plates in order to hold down our costs. Much as we would like to have included the Page Eight MR.

If we were to go beyond the amount set up in our budget, our Senior Class would have to pay the debt that would be incurred. No previous Se- nior Class has left any outstanding debts when it graduated and we do not want to be the first to leave unpaid debts behind us. Shorthand, Mathematics, Junior Busi-
