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

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT Iordan Iohnson Thompson CAPTAINS Hendryx Robertson COACH Iohnson STUDENT MANAGERS Genung Thorpe YELL LEADERS Phipps Sauer Heaton Basey ihleticf The Athletic Department, led by Mr. R. C. Iordan, has been responsible for many improvements this past year in athletics. Mr, Iordan and his associates, Mr. Lawrence Thompson and Mr. Ralph Iohnson, manage the job of team fi- nances, scheduling games, providing for referees for the home games, etc., all of which are jobs behind the scenes but nevertheless are important to the functioning of the athletic teams. Mr. Iohnson has the burden of coaching three sports, since the loss of Mr. Charles Nay to the Navy two years ago. Despite this added work Mr. Iohn- son has accomplished a marvelous job in all three sports, track, basketball, and football. The Generals of the Field were Clark Hendryx, who led the football team, and Duane Robertson, who had command of the basketball team. The Stu de nt Managers, Norman Thorpe and Bob Genung, handled an important job with the style of veterans although this was their first year. The crowds throughout the year have been directed by Dotty Phipps, Ioanne Basey, Norma lean Sauer, and Katie Heaton. Dotty, a Senior, has just com- pleted her fifth season as yell leader and will be a loss to the school. The other three girls, all newcomers, did a magnificent job and will be looked to for better cheering in the future.
