flys only when there is 90% par
ticipation in the school.
The student body reached over
90% between March 19 and 21.
Stamp purchasers were admitted
to a 62 - minute movie “Combat
America”, starring Clark Gable.
A brief assembly was held March
13 at which time a report was given
of the progress GHS has made in
War Bonds and Stamps sales. Mar
tha Winslow, Connie Johnson, and
Jo Rosenthal gave the War Bond re
ports and boosted the sales. GHS

which the audience was led in
prayer by Mr. Eugene Roberts.
Each piece of equipment bought
by GHS students contains a dedica
tion panel saying that the students
of GHS paid for it through the pur
chase of stamps and Series E Bonds.
The school was also given a Navy
Star to be added to the Treasury
Flag for a semester of 90% partici
pation last spring. A facsimile of the
original Bill of Rights was given to
the school because of the 90% rec
