Stamp Thrive Under the guidance of Mr. Sumner, who devotes his valuable time on Tuesday mornings in order to assist the War Stamp and Bond Committee, Wellesley High has had a successful year in the sale of stamps and bonds. Higher percentages and lower money totals than in previous years have characterized the Stamp Drives. Although some rooms required per¬ sistent reminders, rooms 111, 205, 209, 309, and 311 had consistent hundred per cent participation, with many rooms close on their heels. Congratulations to these hundred per cent chairmen and their rooms! Interest reached its peak during the Sixth War Loan and Outfit G. I. Joe cam¬ paigns, which were held during the year. The Minute Man flag flew over the school almost all year. Third Row: M. Beuttcl, .1. Montopoli, R. Becker, W. Cook, .1. t»»iuld ‘Second Row: R. Vaughan, ,1. Keller, S. Moore, F. Perini, .1.

The outsider, looking at the Wellesley an might be bewildered by the name X-period. Yet to the students it’s nothing about which to wonder. It’s their own special extra period created for extra-curricular activities and war courses. But somehow it needs showing to really explain it; so if this outsider took a tour of X-period he would begin to understand. By 8:45 things are beginning to buzz. As the visitor walks through the halls he hears Wie gent es bei Ihnen?” from the German class. Across the hall the Studio Art group scratches its head and then thinks of some new esthetic creation to work out. The gym pupils of this early hour are of a special kind. They stumble, trip, or feel their way along, trying to open their eyes wide enough to seem awake anyhow. Not so the Typing-Code class. A brisk beep beep and clatter clatter” is heard as the students send and receive mes¬ sages. The Student Council meets in 105 and makes plans for the betterment of student organization. From the rear of the Assembly Hall the band is heard practicing for one of its many public appearances. A detour is neces¬ sary to get to the second floor. The bulletin board is being fixed and how can you tell which pictures would look best where if you don’t spread them all over the floor? As the visitor passes by 201, music fills the air. The Choir is preparing for one of its all too few concerts. Then there’s the library. This seems to be the time and place to meet friends and try to talk over the latest experiences. It’s so hard to study. Along the way in a small room the Stamp Drive Com¬ mittee is pulling its hair out by the roots to think of ways to get and keep the Minute Man Flag. Up on the third floor the Nutrition and Home Nursing classes give helpful hints for home happiness. All that equipment in 311 is for the radio group, those Edisons in the making. A quick slide down the banisters and back on the first floor. But what’s that noise? Oh yes, passing bell—period’s over. Extra Explanation i25 }
