We, too, at West A Side, have adopted that motto, even though warfare still seems remote. ln order to avoid mere lip science, a systematic set of rules for air raid drills has been worked out by the faculty. Every precaution is being taken to make certain that in case ot the inevitable every student will know the exact procedure. Several drills have been tried so that what- ever the future may hold, We at West Side will Be Prepared. LAURA BOLYARD Ferris Institute, University of Michigan.

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.

For this reason our faculty members took lessons to better train themselves for dealing with War emergencies. The course included general First Aid and the proper handling of incendiary and other bombs. The teachers assisted in training senior air raid wardens. One of our faculty members is a member of the Civil Air Patrol. The members of this patrol met once a week and learned First Aid. Their job is to patrol the skies around the Milwaukee area. They learned to be calm and competent. GEORGINA HOSKIN BEATRICE LEISK Whitewater State Teachers-B.E.
