This year the students and teachers alike are extremely proud of the Schoolseat-War flag that was presented to our school on lanuary 5th by Mr. Hammer, Mr. Pace, and Mr. Aldrich of Legion Post No. l98. To obtain this flag, at least 902 of the students throughout the s c h o o l bought war stamps. ln order to keep the flag flying over the school, once a month 9096 of the students must buy war stamps. The committee in charge of arrang- ing these war stamp sales is: Mr. Troth, Miss Spencer, Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Thomp- son, and Miss Knetzer. Mr. Troth has planned out this program for the high school: each Tuesday a representative from every class takes orders for the stamps. They then take the orders to Mr. Troth. The goal is not how much each person spends on the stamps, but that everyone participates. The class salesmen in the high school and junior high are: lane Zink, senior: Al Wagner, junior: lean Finch, sopho- more, Sandra Heston, freshman: Suzie Waa Zzlaq P Pearce, eighth gradeg and Ray Stewart, seventh grade. The grade school, too, has a part in the sale of war stamps. Mrs. Thomp- son has charge of the sales in the 5th grades and in the 6th grade. These grades formed a club two years ago for the purpose of selling cmd buying war stamps. The club meets every Tuesday during Math class. Grades one through four have regu- lar stamp sales. These children try for lOUCh participation during each sale, and they quite often reach it. During the month of lanuary 99.229 of the students in both schools bought war stamps. Since these sales are go- ing to be continued next year, or until the war ends, why not try for lO0'X: to show other schools what we can do? Each school that Wins a Schools-at- War flag has accomplished something to be proud of. The sight of that flag flying with the flag of the United States over our schools is cz sight to make you want to take your hat off and cheer. iii

Jli-02 The Hi-C's were first organized in 1939 by Kate Humphreys, Bob Als- meyer, and Bob Hoerger. Mr. Northcott directed them at their first public per- formance, but after that they were on their own. The orchestra then consisted of Kate Humphreys, Bob Alsmeyer, Bob Hoerger, Al Webb, Dick jennings, Marion Baxter, Novella Northcott, and Marcy Mann. They played for school dances, a Plainfield Iunior-Senior Reception, and for the C.Y.O. dances held at St. Chris- topher's Church. Later on in the same year B. Hoerger and B. Alsmeyer built the Hi-C stands which are in use today. The Hi-C's as we know them now consist of Iiin Nay, Catherine Meden- wald, Bob Hanen, Bob Huber, Bob Har- rah, jim Kelley, Ioyce Armstrong, jack Ganzerniller, and Patsy Heaton. They, too, are under their own supervision. This year they have played for the Third Annual F.B.T. Hop, a Mason's Craft Dance, and a dance held during a convocation. They also went to Tom- linson Hall to play for the Teen-Age Canteen. They each have the ambi- tion to join a top-flight band. Let's hope they succeed! Cn October 24h the juniors pre- sented The Bight Mr. 'Wrightf' This group of actors worked very hard to make this play the success it was- they even met for rehearsals on Sun- day afternoons. The cast was as follows: Goldie Going .....c.c..c............... lane Wagle Mrs. Warren Wainwright .... loan Mason Paula Pennington ............ L'Marie Kettery Carol Carbaugh .................. loan Gaddis Lucille Lovejoy ........ ........ N orma King Harriett Harper .................... Clona Basch Wayne W'right ,,,,,.,...........c....... lim Kelley Mr. Warren Wainwright.,Albert Wagner Lucious Lovejoy ...................... Bill Cramer Clinton Carbaugh ................ Glenn Amos Walter Webb ..........,......... Eugene Tsareff Concheta Carmen ........ Anna Thompson The name of the play was enough to confuse you, but during the play it- self Mr. Wayne Wright became con- fused with Mr. Wainwright. This wasn't enough-the plot became thicker by the addition of a jealous wife, a honey- mooning' couple, and a torch singer. Mrs. Crawford acted as director for this group. In appreciation of her serv- ices, before the curtain parted the class gave her an orchid, and between the 2nd and 3rd acts the class president presented her with a sterling silver compact.
