High School War Work
Mr.. Editor:

! Mr.. Editor:
l have seen very few, if any, items
in the columns of your valuable pa
per on what the High School body is
doing in this time of do your duty. ="
| Still we are not quiet, although we
| have been brought very little before
public notice. We are not to be
kept down when our country calls,
and though we may not be able to
wear the uniform of our Army, or
our Navy,we may wear, and do wear,
! the uniform of duty.
There are twenty-five seniors this
year, twelve of which are boys. Some
may, by this time next year, have
| given their lives for their country,
while others may still be fighting for
her Some may be in France, some
may be here, but wherever they may
! be, I'll warrant they'll be fighting
| for her. The patriotism is in them,
and when the school year is finished
it will begin to show itself more
strongly l say more strongly be-
| cause it is now showing itself. and
not only among the senior boys but
also among the boys and girls of all
| the other classes of the school,, and,
! may add here, the Grammar grades
are also showing their colors, for l
| heard not long ago that one class
had sixty dollars invested in War
! Savings Stamps.
| When the knitting fever had its
! strongest grip on the girls of our
| High School grades, much work was
done for the aid of the Belgians;
many sweaters, small and large, were
made and sent to them.
| Then came the Liberty Loans, the
! first and the second, many boys and
girls of our four grades showing
| their colors at that time by buying
Liberty Bonds. And then the Senior
Red Cross drive, and upon the coats
| of many of our students may be
seen the Red Cross pin, signifying
! their enrolment. Then the War
| Savings Society was brought before
! us, and within one week after its
mention, thirty-two members had
enrolled, with the amount of $127.-
80 in War Savings Stamps.
/ Last, but not least, the Junior Red
! Cross campaign was introduced, land
nearly all the students of the High
! School are now members. The first
| day after the mention of this So
ciety the following percentage of
members from each class was OBJ
! tanned:
Senior class, Is per cent; Junior
class, II per cent; Second Year
class, Miss Robinson, 40 per cent. !;
Second Year class, Miss Perry, 81
per cent; First Year class, Miss
Bradshaw, Al per cent; First Year
class, Miss Mundy, 73 per cent.
The following noon the Senior
class came off with honors as being
the first class to obtain one hundred
percent. And we seniors sincerely
hope that the other classes will soon
follow and reach that one hundred
mark. We are doing our duty-are
you doing yours?
