Every Thursday night during the past year, many of West's girls have been knitting for the Red Cross. Many who did not know how to knit learned by knitting squares for afghans and then progressed to caps and children's sweaters. So as to conserve every possible minute, some of the teachers and girls brought their knitting to school and knit dur- ing their lunch hour. Every Wednesday night Home Economics girls met to sew for the Red Cross. They have completed children's dresses, patchwork quilts, and hot water bottle covers. Mrs. Perrigo kept them out of mischief. One of the important demands of the government was that old scrap metal, so valuable to defense, be saved. ln this phase, West's faculty did not take a back seat, for every mem- ber was only too willing to save tooth paste tubes, tin cans and other ordinary containers composed of the valuable, much-needed metal. Realizing the importance of this simple request, our faculty gladly turned all scrap metals over to the United States government, which in turn reclaimed them and used this reclaimed metal in building a strong impregnable defense. l.

The armed forces accept only those boys Who are phys- ically periect. With the quickened pace in industries and consequently our lives, only those who are physically fit can keep up. Realizing the necessity tor strong young men and Women, West has done much to help the country in that respect. Prom the gym classes that everyone attended tor two years came students straight and strong. In biology and health classes students mastered the Whys and hows of health through the complicated study ot the anatomy of the human body. Here, too, they formed habits conducive to good health. In the hours oi their country's need they will be fit, both mentally and physically. I5 fljtflirx ff I IOSEPI-I I-IARTMAN THOMAS NORWICKI

Childhood Ambition-to be an artist. Paints scenery for school plays. Posters were made by the art department and prominently displayed to encourage the sale of defense stamps. Thus all the departments have cooperated in this good work. One of the pleas of our government is that the people conserve rubber. Our faculty has been cooperating loyally and willingly. Many of them have given up the comfort of traveling to and from school in their cars, thus complying with the government's request. Their driving experiences enabled them to effectively teach safe driving, which is an important method of tire conservation. An important phase of the National Defense program is getting the right number of vitamins for health. The Home Economics students learned just how to provide these neces- sities at the lowest costs. ln times when conservation is so important and living costs are so high, the girls of the Home Economics. department have a definite advantage.
