Miss Worley after considerable thought states that she thinks the European War will end in 1945 and the Pacific War in 1946. Miss Wray feels that to main- tain permanent peace the feelings of super-racen and white superiority must be eradicated. Mr. Wyeth thinks that with the post-war era will come greater freedom for all peoples and an increase in socialistic tendencies. As long as people continue to think of war and aggression, Miss Davis sees no improvement in the post-war world. Accord- ing to Miss Denney, cooperation is essential in the further- ing Of friendly relationships with our South American neighbors. Because of scientific inventions, Miss Vause comments that everyone is looking ahead to a newer and brighter future. Believing that the Japanese rules should be exterminated, Miss Lindstrom feels that the re-education of the other Japanese people is essential. lf we are to be a true democracy, Mr. Schade feels we must be free from class distinction, racial prejudices, greed and selfishness, graft and intolerance.

Mrs. Shumate feels that the political, industrial, and military control of German should be given to the Allies. Mr. Shumway is convinced that the scientific knowledge of war can mold a peaceful, more satisfactory world. Carefully supervised education in enemy countries is Miss Slade's opinion of what must be done to maintain peace. In the post-war world Mr. Trumbull thinks that Germany should be stripped of heavy industry and japan should be con- trolled by the United States. lf we desire peace and world cooperation in the post-war world, we must put high ideals into practice, Mrs. Vincent feels. Because it teaches lessons in discipline, Miss Vincent supports peacetime compulsory training. Miss Walker favors the domination of the military province of Prussia. Because of the japanese occupation of China, Mr. Weber favors their forced return to their home island. The price for maintaining lasting peace will be as costly as war feels Miss Weinschenk. Although conquered nations should not produce war supplies, Mr. Whitenack feels they should get raw materials for other manufacturing.

14 - .ligliilleih In the departments many related activities take place which add a special zest to each classroom period. The art department has completed murals for the halls, the music room, made the small scale model for the May Day festival, and the murals Qshown upper lefty which are hung in the school library. Seen working on a mural are Digby Myhre, Frank Mariani, Mary Suter, and Suzanne Cutler. Since modern educators feel that the ability to think straight is one of the rnost important factors which each in- dividual should gain from his education, the English department is emphasizing the study of General Semantics which illustrates the usage of words as a means to expressing one- self clearly. Mrs. Vincent Qlower lefty is ex- plaining to Tom Markuson, Darlene Russel, Joan Hotchkiss, Bill Ferguson, and her Eng- lish class a simple diagram from one phase of the study which contrasts the Aristotelian theory of absolutism with the modern theory of liberal thought. Wlith the Presidential election of November, the analysis of the modern political speech proved to be of much value to Mrs. Coxon's American Litera- ture class. Taking notes on Leland Brewster's report flower rightj are Vivian Swanson, Frances Mulford, William Greenhow, Doris Orlandi, and Roberta Williams.
