The student administrators were very successful. Nick McDonald, principal for the day, had three office clerks and forty- six teachers. They managed the school and taught the classes in a highly professional way. They had excellent co-operation from their students, and every- one gained much from this opportunity to get an- other point of view from actual experience. Thirty-five other high school students partici- pated in civic activities during the week. Reports from all activities during Education Week are on file and will be placed in our library.

E. ATCHISON Tolleston mourns the loss of one of its best workers and supporters of all school and community activities. Here is a letter from his boys who knew him as Pop . Dear Pop: It's hard to believe that you've really left us. Things just don’t seem the same any more. Remem- ber the swell times we had together—the fun we had on all our athletic trips, especially that one to Williamsport. Remember how on that trip we secretly took a package from Coach's pocket and then offered him some of its contents. Oh yes, and Tony had to buy us gummy caramels, that we couldn't get our teeth out of, just to keep us quiet. Those were the good old days. Pop. We'll never forget the time you were in the minstrel show at the carnival. The people rolled in the aisles with laughter. You were the one to make people happy; you could make anybody happy. And, Pop, that same night at the carnival you nearly had all the tough-guy athletes crying when you sang Rockin' Chair's Got Me. We didn't tell you before because we thought you'd make fun of us. Aw gee, you were really swell; you did everything for us. You were toastmaster at our banquets; you kept time at our basketball games; you not only made the best down box and yard markers in the state but you also operated them at all our football games; you were Number One Rooter at every contest we ever entered—there was hardly a thing you didn't do for us. Pop. The tough part of it all is that we can't do anything big enough to repay you. We tried to show our gratitude right after you left us. We hadn't won a game all season, and Coach told us to go out and win one for you. Well, we did. Pop. We won it; we won it especially for you. But we needn't tell you that; you know because you were with us then; you'll always be with us no matter what we do. You were with us at our banquet this year, too; and when we stood silently for one minute in your honor, we were again trying in our humble way to express our appreciation for all you’ve done for us. Please stay with us always. Pop, and remember that every game we win, we'll win for you.

Coach Devitt, discovering a demand for competition in base- ball, entered the school into the conference with other schools of the Calumet region. Mike Yaros, former White Sox pitcher and player manager of the Spencer Coals, outstanding Semi-Pro team of Chicago, was an able assistant to Coach Devitt in moulding a fine team.

READY TO SERVE The picture at the left is the table set for the first course of the banquet which was held in the school cafeteria on January 28. The banquet was a great success. It con- sisted of a five course dinner which the students of the cooking classes had prepared and served. This was the main project of the semester; different phases of food preparation, table set- :ings, and matters of etiquette, previously stud- ied, were put into practice. A patriotic theme was carried out in all decorations. Honor guests were Principal and Mrs. Stand- ley and Miss Ruth Schooler. Mildred Fife presided as chairman of the en- tertainment and after dinner speeches. Later, dancing was held in the recreation room of the west building. Nutrition Problems JEROME BALLOGG ENJOYS A TEN-CENT LUNCH In the cafeteria very nourishing ten-cent lunches were served. The government provided surplus commodities to which other foods were added to make a complete meal. In this way the ten-cent lunch was available. Every child received a tray containing food which was high in calorie content, vitamins, minerals, and other needed elements.

March 15, from 3 to 5 o'clock in the Recreation Room of the Ambassador. Plans are in effect for the affair to become one of Tolleston's traditions. Those in charge of the Tea were as follows: Lois Whitlow, general chair- man; Florence Bucholtz, chairman of the invitation committee; Cecile Mares- ko, chairman of the table committee; Gladys Zalou- dek, chairman of the com- mittee to select the receiv- ing line; Phyllis Deighton and Patty Grider, co-chair- men of the refreshment committee; Eleanor Wierz- ba, chairman of the dec- orating committee; Helen Arras, chairman of the music committee; sopho- more girls, group in charge of the kitchen; Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Stand- ley, co-sponsors.

DECLARATION OF APPRECIATION When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the Class of 1942 to dissolve the educa- tional bands which have connected them with one another, and to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitled them,' a profound love and respect for their Alma Mater requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to say farewell with thanks and appreciation. We hold these truths to be self-evident — That to our Superintendent. Mr. Lutz, and the Board of Education goes our sincere and deepest grati- tude for their governing and guidance. Our contacts with them were never direct, but we felt their presence as we pressed on toward our goal. That to you, Mr. Standley. we raise our voices in appreciation, looking not only at you, but back of you into the past. We recall when we were out of line the fatherly talks you administered; the time we wanted another subject instead of mathematics, and how your hypothesis of comparative values led us aright. Your educational interest in Tolleston is truly genuine, and we shall profit by it in the years afcead of us. That the faculty shall not have toiled over our educational weaknesses in vain. At times, perhaps we were troublesome and unruly, but we meant no harm. How we sat by the hour and tried to distinguish one chemical compound from another! We would sooner have slept in study hall than study, but on we went. We were getting an education. How we toiled over mathematics. English, and the sciences; but we labored on—always looking ahead. What kept us going? The unfaltering perseverance and inspiring influence of our teachers. We thank them for it. They shall not have tried in vain! That we. the graduating class of 1942, have to the best of our ability equipped ourselves for life's great struggles which lie in wait. Whether we are to work in the steel mills, go into offices, or enter into the defense of our Flag, that which we have had in school shall have laid a foundation for that work. Long hours in R. O. T. C. have made us ready and able to walk circumspectly among our fellowmen. In all our classes we have been equipped with a vocabulary, a background, and a training, fitting us for any occa- sion. True happiness in life comes from having done one's work well—we shall be truly happy! We are bubbling with ambition and dreaming of the places we shall fill. We are the youth of America, and we are ready for Life! That we. the graduating class of 1942. are not a normal class. By this I mean we are not graduating in normal times. Our United States is at war! Life to us may seem cloudy and vague, but we must not be discouraged or demoralized. These black days do not represent all of life. The other half of life is seen when the sun beams through. It will be only an element of time until the sun again will shine upon our shores. It falls upon us. the class of 1942, to help bring these cloudy days to an end. We can best accom- plish this by being truly good Americans, by following our leaders, by carrying on in our industries, and by continuing our education. That we shall forever cherish the Red. White, and Blue; and that we shall never forget the blue and white. March on. America! —Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Paul Wallace, President of the Class of 1942. This is Sidney Benson, a Tolleston youth—a typical American youth of 1942. He personifies the vision and the quest of America today. What does he see? He sees the model airplanes which he has built accord- ing to specifications. He remembers every detail of the work involved toward their completion. But he sees more than that. He sees hundreds of large, strong, silver-colored American planes, piloted by sure, well-trained men, winging their way toward tasks which must be done. He sees much more than that. Above and beyond, he sees a God of Love and Justice, showing him the way toward a future not held by the hands of Tyranny. He resolves to follow that God and to do his part toward helping this nation of the people, by the people, and for the people establish Peace and Freedom throughout the world.
