FOTBQWOTCIIO We Smale few Www! Amidst all the din and fury and sacrifices of a devastating War with forces of evil that threaten to black out all that We hold dearer than life itself-freedom, justice, honor, truth, kindness, sanctity of human life, and the rights of the individual, We glimpse the glorious light of VICTORY. VICTORY of our AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE! VICTORY of the DEMOCRACIES! VICTORY for all the UN- HAPPY RACES OF EUROPE enslaved by tyranny of Axis domi- nation! VICTORY for a JUST AND ENDURING WORLD PEACE! And it will be VICTORY if every one of us does his part. We, the students of the Webb City High School, have girdcd ourselves for VICTORY in this mighty battle, which We can help Win from the HOME FRONT. WE ARE BUYING WAR STAMPS AND BONDS this year as in the past year through our home rooms. The total sales so far have amounted to approximately 37,525.29 fstudents, S4,548.79g teachers, 3S2,976.50J. By BUYING WAR STAMPS AND BONDS, We hope TO HIT THEM HARD, HIT THEM FAST, WIN THE PEACE, AND MAKE IT LAST. WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE JUNIOR RED CROSS not only in cash, but in service-making afghans and sewing kits for Soldiers. Also several of our YOUNG MEN HAVE BEEN DONORS TO ,THE BLOOD BANK. WE HAVE PILED UP THE SCRAP METAL AND RUBBER in a great drive which really cleaned up the town-and WE HAVE SALVAGED OTHER THINGS. OUR AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN STUDY- ING WAYS AND MEANS to increase the food supply for our armed forces, our allies, and our civilians-not merely STUDYING, but DOING. OUR HEALTH PROGRAM HAS BEEN INTENSIFIED especially in the PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HOME ECO- NOMIC CLASSES. We need to build strong bodies for VIC.TORY, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. The HOME ECONOMIC Classes have been studying VICTORY DIETS and FOOD RATIONING. Recently a MILK PROGRAM, furnishing milk to students-partly with government aid, has been successfully carried out. OUR SCHOOL BOY PATROL has put forth every effort for SAFETY. CONSERVATION OF LIFE AND LIMBS must ever be a part of our VICTORY PROGRAM. OUR SPEECH DEPARTMENT has given programs at assem- bly on HEMISPHERE SOLIDARITY, and on OUR FLAG, our NATIONAL ANTHEM, OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR ALLIESg dramas such as THEY BURNED THE BOOKS by Stephen Vincent

Benet, also series of talks before various civic clubs on CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA AND BROTHERHOOD OF ALL THE AMERICAS-all of which build up the spirit for VICTORY in the school and community NOW and AFTER THE WAR. OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT has also presented stirring pro- grams stimulating the WILL FOR VICTORY. THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND gave a patriotic program, admission for which was the PUR- CHASE of WAR STAMPS AND BONDS, and STAMPS and BONDS to the amount of 5400.15 were sold. OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL COURSE IN AERONAUTICS is functioning successfully in giving a ground course with the funda- mentals of AERONAUTICS, a large group of junior and senior boys learning terms used in flying, and conditions of flying, as well as gaining experience in working with instruments, gauges, and controls. WE HAVE STUDIED IN OUR CLASSES the issues of the WAR AND PEACE PROGRAM, we have striven to make ourselves fit mentally as well as physically to cope with POST WAR CONDI- TIONS and to help build a BETTER WORLD. IN VISUAL EDUCATION, films have been shown which have inspired the MIND and HEART AND WILL for VICTORY of DEM- OCRATIC IDEALS and WORLD PEACE by urging CONSERVA- TION, SALVAGE, WORK, COOPERATION, CHEERFUL OBEDI- ENCE to laws and war time regulations, SACRIFICE and LOYAL- TY, RESPECT and GOOD WILL toward other nations, by giving illuminating and helpful information how these goals may be achieved, and by showing what has been done by our nation and its citizens. WE HAVE PUBLICIZED THROUGH OUR CARDINAL NOTES, with the cooperation of THE SENTINEL, all high school PROJECTS for the VICTORY Campaign. WE HAVE HAD STIRRING ASSEMBLY programs either by our own students or by speakers on THE WAR, THE WAR EFFORT -such as BUYING WAR BONDS AND STAMPS, CONSERVING HEALTH, on VICTORY AND PEACE. OUR ASSEMBLIES have opened with the FLAG SALUTE and the SINGING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. WE HAVE BUILT UP A SPIRIT OF DEVOTION, LOYALTY, RESPECT FOR OUR FLAG and all that it symbolizes to us of a GREAT AND FREE NATION, by standing at attention and facing the DIRECTION OF THE FLAG twice a day as the bugle sounds for its raising and lowering. MAY GOD SPEED VICTORY!
