WAR SERVICE COUNCIL Gathering for the first time during the Christmas recess, a council com- posed of representative officers of the student body and of the Senior and Junior classes met in Mr. MacQuiddy's office to consider ways in which high school students could make a definite contribution to the nation's de- fense program. In order to save time, it was decided that this group should draw up a tentative plan of organization to present to the students as soon as school reopened. In this way the Watsonville High School War Service Associa- tion came into being. All students, all faculty members, and all personnel employed by thc high school district automatically became members of the organization. This association is governed by an executive council composed of the president and secretary of the student body, the president and secretary of each class, the dean of girls, the vice-principal, the student body auditor, and the stamp and bond sale faculty sponsor. Representatives were also chosen from the Girls Athletic Association, the Service Club, the junior Red Cross, the Block XV, the Future Farmers of America, the Scholar- ship Society, and the Janitor Force. Officers of the council were David Leslie, president, Jim Chinn, vice- presidentg Marjorie Sheehy, secretary, and Tom Skillicorn, treasurer. Among the many projects sponsored by the council were the Fashion Tea and the Victory Garden campaign. Proceeds from these affairs went to purchase war bonds for the student body. Start Top Left: F.

IN THE SERVICE LOUIS BILICICH WARREN CARPENTER CARL COELHO BILL DAHL RAY GOURLEY HAROLD JENNINGS . OLIVER LESLIE FRANK LOCATELLI GERALD PEYTON Y- RAY PIPKIN I HARVEY RICH JOHN YOUNG In these times, when chaos and confusion threaten the world, and when America herself, the great stronghold of democracy and free thinking, has been attacked, the yearbook staff is proud to devote a page to the high school's brave sons who are carrying the fight to the enemy. Many students are doing their part in many ways. Red Cross and British War Relief work, the gathering of scrap materials, the planting of Victory Gardens, the studying of first-aid, and the purchase of War Sav- ings Stamps and Bonds are only a few of the things the students of the high school are engaging in to aid in the victory that shall be won. But there were other students who would not be content to do these things alone. They wanted to do more. Because they wanted to do more, many of they high school students have volunteered in the armed forces of the nation and are now fighting to safeguard our country. To these boys this page is dedicated. It is an honor to us to so dedicate it. Their unselfish and loyal actions fill us with pride. HARRY W. FRUSTUCK
