At the end of the first semester there were only four. To begin with, they made sketches. Since then, they have made book ends, letter files, and dressing tables. Although they missed the nail and hit their hands at first, the girls soon learned how to construct things. FIRE SQUAD ACTIVITIES The Willamina High School Fire Squad was organized during the first of the school year. The members were selected by each member oflast year's fire squad that was still in school. At the first meeting a fire chief was elected. The fire squad chose Troy McGowan as chief with Kenneth Stanenko as assistant. Charles Kelly and Tony Hass were placed as captains. The membership was twenty, which was considered sufficient in case of a fire or an air raid. The fire squad was several timesinstructed in the correct positions and duties during air raids.
