This was subdivided into the fol-
lowing subjects:
Renewing Our Faith
Serving War Time Needs
Building Strong Bodies
Developing Loyal Citizens
Cultivating Knowledge and
Skills

Strengthening Morale for
Victory

establishments. These showed
work being done in the defense
school in welding, in the aeronautics
class, in vocational guidance,
and in the sale of stamps and
bonds. These displays were ar-
ranged by the students of the
