OUR QUARTERMASTERS STAFF “On where, oh where have the janitors gone?” This is the plaintive wail commonly heard in schools small and large throughout the city in the last year. It seems that good old Uncle Sam wants to turn our men in grey into soldiers in khaki. The janitorial staff of Southwest formerly consisted of four janitors and one janitress, but for part of this year, three men did all of the work. To relieve the overworked janitors the Ciirl Reserve groups took over the job of washing blacklnsards and the Hi-Y fellows have done their bit by clearing tables in the lunchroom. Speaking of lunchrooms should remind all Southwest students of the super-deluxe Victory lunches. These varied and nourishing lunches were as popular as ever this year, in spite of the fact that the price was raised slightly. Also, we must give three cheers to the office force. They have spent endless hours answering telephone calls from harried mothers, collecting lunches which have been lost or forgotten, and figuring out punishment bad enough for those terrible students who were caught skipping.

With a firm belief that this war is but a stepping stone for a better world tomorrow, these young Americans showed us that “The Future Is Ours. if each of us will only find his role in this drama called “Life. The play presented by this class was “Hay Fever, by Noel Coward. It starred lean Harris, Ted Taylor, Mary Gray Koehler, and Donn I.eussler, and was under the direction of Mrs. Elinor Boylan. The receipts of this production were spent for stage equipment as the class memorial gift to the school. ('lass Day was celebrated by holding a Winter Sports Carnival at the Country Club. Truly, Southwest can be very proud of the Good Indians in the January class of 1943. 12
