P RI VAT E WAG Yes, that is what he said and that is what quite a number of fellows said when they answered Uncle Sam’s call to war. Oh, but, perhaps you haven't met Wagi? He isn’t hard to meet; he’s a regular fellow. Remember the fellow who played right end on the football team, collected papers for the school paper sales, and sat next to you in English class? That's Wagi! Yes, he had his finger in almost every pie here at school. He is the true Spirit of Southwest. He’s not just Wagi now, though; he’s Private Wagi, First Class, in the United States Army. Here, let me show you part of one of his letters from camp: “I ast year I roamed the halls with you, talked, laughed, studied and crammed for exams with you. Now I’m one of a greater class out to win this war for Uncle Sam. But really, the only difference between Southwest and the Army is that now I’m a cog in a larger wheel, and I have something to fight for— not just a city champ title, but something bigger. They cull it Freedom! I was glad to see that 1 was not the only one representing our school in the service of our country. Some may have joined different branches of the service but their aim remains the same: To make the world a place where we can have Freedom and F.d neat ion! These fellows arc represented by the stars in your school service flag. ☆ OUR SERVICE FLAG ☆ Lt. Col. C. C. Minty William Hanson Major Leonard C.
