(Ian Rings "Bug In" For Pupil Purchasers Wednesday, April 20, the GHS rings arrived from the Star Ingrav- ing Company in Houston, Texas, for a three-day distribution to stu dents by Mr. Ronald Reed, district representative of the company. The total price of the rings was $11.76. Five hundred and five stu dents, both seniors and juniors, purchased the rings. The rings have the student's initials engraved on the inside. To purchase a ring a student must have sixteen credits and be in a junior or senior home room. This style of rings was adopted by Senior High School in 1941. Prior to that time the rings were gold with purple stones. The stones were made and brought from Czechoslovakia. The reason for the change in this style was because the stones faded, and also the stones were easy to chip or crack.

The student-conducted drill, sponsored by the first period his tory classes of Mr. Robert Fred rickson and Mr. Claude Manzi, culminated two weeks of prepara tion involving approximately 50 people. Wardens based their casualty ob servations on the position indivi(i- uals took with regard to windows and doors. The heaviest rates were reported from the third floor of the main building where students crouched under the skylights. The warning bell was preceded by instruction to the individual rooms from members of the two history classes. Most casualties were the result of disregarding these directions to duck in the hall way in front of lockers and to cover exposed parts of the Dody. The experimental operation was described by Mr. Fredrickson as “very effective.” Both teachers ex pressed their appreciation for the co-operation of seudents and teach ers. Chief warden and control chair man Ralph Tippett stated that the main building was responsible for 67 casualties, while the other three buildings accounted for the ad ditional 68. Preparations for the simulated A-Bomb blast included establish ment of a control center in the auditorium, preparation of arm bands for all workers involved, and printing of cards containing seven survival secrets.

The members are chosen once a year, usually at the beginning of the first semester. Those eligible are juniors or seniors who work on either HIGH LIFE or WHIRL IGIG staffs.
