AIR RAID DRILLS BEGIN: Ann Arbor schools bean a program of safety measures against possible air raids when Tappan school pupils went through an initial instruction test yesterday. Pictures above are students seated on a corridor floor, receiving instructions in precautions from Principal Nicholas Schreiber (center). The pupils went through the drill in perfect order. Other schools in the city will begin drills soon.

TEACHERS AND PARENTS SUPERVISE: Tappan school called in mothers of pupils to aid staff in conducting the school's first air raid drill yesterday. Pupils are taught three different alarms. One signal keeps all in school, in corridors; another allows some to go home. A number of the students are pictured (above) in a corridor designated by Fire Chief Benjamin Zahn as one of the "most safe" in the event of an air raid.

TAKE THEIR CHAIRS ALONG: Lower graders in Tappan school carried their chairs with them from their classrooms to appointed places of safety in the air raid drill. They took the precaution seriously, as their faces indicate, and passed through the halls without confusion. Training like this, officials hope, will prevent confusion should an air raid ever occur here.
