Many faculty members were unable to stay the whole year because of war difficulties. Charles Dover, C. D. Miller and Clarence Hutchinson were among those leaving before the end of the second semester. Under the careful super- vision of Mr. Rouse. a well balanced teaching staff was maintained through- out the year. Much attention was put on our high school this year. It was necessary for YUHS students to help the labor shortage by picking cotton. picking squash, harvesting other crops and baling hay. Local merchants cooperated greatly by adding prizes for the best worker or hardest worker. Not only students cooperated but also faculty members. Many students were working half days, others two periods, and some worked the entire day. m n-lany Ways. s added to our dvisers Of Ou' 1 those Of Ou' Q of the school , a new Sflack mpletelY hxed' J field leveled f Tlany new vyah , b the 1119 echgol faculfY- S - ro- currxculctr P t studY 'Pro' S29 Gmbiuons' IIINE ANI!
