Drawing on literature concerning assistance, the political economy in which it is given, and psychological dimensions of regulation, I investigate the nature and function of objectives stated by aid providers. I argue that whereas discourse is manoeuvred to approve whatever NGOs undertake, the assistance delivered is so far from its objectives as to question what guidance they offer and their strategic merit. Additionally, the NGOs’ approach disregards failure by allowing operational weaknesses to blame or discredit others, rather than being acknowledged to reflect on interventions.

Housewives are helping with rationing; white-collar men are laboring on the assembly lines of war plants; and high school students are pursuing courses to fit them for their war duties. In every waking moment, the nation is kept aware of the \yar because in this World War II, the war effort and its effects are felt by every living person— the drastic rationing, the unselfish denial of comforts, and the drafting of husbands, sons, and fathers in the services. Since our every thought is of war, it is, therefore, only fitting that the theme of our ’43 yearbook should be a patriotic one. However, the remembrance of these troublous times will not be of as great interest to us in the future as will the pleasant memories of our school days with their exciting foot­ ball games, their fast moving basketball matches, their lengthy debates, their enervating tests, and their intriguing class dis­ cussions. Nor shall we forget the school building itself, our friends, and our teachers. In order that a concise retrospect of our high school life may be preserved for the future, the class of ’43 has compiled this record of its activities, the ’43 "West-O-Ranger.” 1 C Cl tI iI O IV This year we dedicate our book to those teachers and boys from our school who are giving their very lives that the democratic principles we so firmly uphold may continue to flourish in our land.

  • Baseball Game Fun!
    Baseball Game Fun! Did you know that the game of baseball can be traced back to the American Revolution (1775-1783)? According to History.com, a game that resembled baseball is said to have been developed from two English games, both which involved the use of a bat and a ball: 1. Rounders (a children’s game brought to New England by the colonists); and 2. another popular game—Cricket. During the American Revolution, there were different versions of these games played in schoolyards and college campuses all over the country. In 1845, more than 170 years ago, the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club was founded. One of its members, Alexander Joy Cartwright, created a set of rules that were the foundation for the baseball played today! He decided upon a diamond-shaped infield, foul lines, and the three-strike rule. In addition, Cartwright got rid of the dangerous practice of tagging runners by throwing baseballs at them (Ouch!). By 1846, the Knickerbockers played their first official game, and baseball became an official sport, unique to America. And then, in 1943, the All-American Girls Baseball League (AAGBL) was created, and in nine years, more than 600 women played in the league. Within the first five years, the number of spectators in attendance at games was over 900,000! One of the most noteworthy teams in the AAGBL was the Rockford Peaches of Illinois. They were one of two teams to play in every AAGBL season, and they won the league championship in 1945, 1948, 1949 and 1950. Throughout this time, Dorothy Kamenshek, Lois Florreich, Dorothy Harrell, Carolyn Morris, Alice Pollitt, Ruth Richard, Rose Gacioch, Eleanor Callow, and Joan Berger were all named to All-Star teams.
