Junior jror the remainder of their Junior year and for their entire Senior year the Junior Class elected the following officers: president, Priscilla Young; vice president, Richard Castor; treasurer, Dorothy Young; and secretary, Roy Wilkinson. As soon as they came back from Easter vacation, the Juniors met to decide on a Junior Prom. Different committees were appointed to take care of S. H. S. ,5 efore mentioning any activities of the school in this war may we remind you of the former students many of whom are serving in the armed forces and of some who have made the supreme sacrifice. About 185 students who attended Southold High School are now in the armed forces. Moreover, most of the senior boys are planning to enter some branch of the service after graduation. In carrying on various activities the school is doing its utmost, first of all in buying Bonds and Stamps. The students bought $1,481.05 worth of Bonds and Stamps in the 4th War Loan Drive. The total of Bonds and Stamps bought from September 15 through April 26 is $4,512.95. Next, the pupils contributed $43.79 to the Junior Red Cross. The school filled boxes for children in England and for the United States mountain children. There was also a drive for the hospital in Camp Upton. For this the Industrial Arts and Home Economics departments made many useful articles. Many of the students took part in the Class the affair. The Prom was successfully held on Friday, May 19, with George Laub’s orchestra furnishing the music. The Juniors were well represented in all the extra-curricular activities of the school. Also, after vacation, the Juniors began to sell candy. They are looking forward to a busy and successful Senior year. At War Red Cross benefit show, some in the music organizations, some in the plays and others by selling tickets. Some of the girls under Miss Vail’s direction took the Red Cross Home Nursing Course and have rolled bandages on Wednesday evenings. The ‘‘Echo” put out the “Servicemen’s Letter” which the boys in this country and abroad were pleased to receive. The students donated the postage for these letters, and this amounted to a rather large sum, for those going overseas were sent by air mail. Plane spotting was a popular activity until it was discontinued except for one afternoon a week. Some of the boys still cooperate in this work. The high school boys helped load the trucks and freight cars with the scrap paper received in the Paper Salvage Drive. The faculty and pupils of Southold have cooperated unselfishly in all types of effort to help win this war; they have never refused to assist in any project planned for this purpose but have worked whole heartedly. nineteen
