Significant, too, is the quality of films sent in, which shows the tremendous activity in the substandard film field. It indicates that private industry, educational institutions and the public at large have at last become visual education minded, for among these pictures sub- mitted were many films aimed at specific film programs —for instruction, for training, for advertising and pub- licity, as well as for entertainment. The Hiram Percy Maxim Award for the best non theatrical of 1942 was presented to George W. Serebrykofl^, of New York City, for "Russian Easter," a 16mm film record of the celebration of Easter in the Russian Orthodox Church. This award is pre- sented each year by Mrs. John G. Lee of Farmington, Conn., in honor of her father, the founder and first president of the Amateur Cinema League, 420 Lexing- ton Avenue, New York City. It is the top award in Movie Makers Ten Best competition. "Russian Easter" is all in Kodachrome and runs thirty-five minutes. It is a sensitive study of the Russian religious rituals, together with intimate scenes of a fami- ly's preparation for the feast, pictured against a back- ground depicting the awakening and rebirth of nature in the spring of the year. The service in celebration of the Resurrection as paralleled with the blossoming of the earth forms an excellent climax for this unusual film. High School Victory Corps The High School Victory Corps has been created to give every high school student a place in the national war effort through a voluntary enrolment plan. Every student may join the general membership of the Corps. Those within two years of completing high school are eligible to any one of the following five special service divisions: Land Service, Sea Service, Air Service, Pro- duction Service, Community Service. All Superin- tendents of schools and high-school principals have received a Manual setting forth purposes, objectives and recommended methods of organization of the Vic- tory Corps. Copies of this Manual are available from the Supt. of Documents, Washington, D. C, 15 cents per copy. National director of the Victory Corps is A. L. Threl- keld. Superintendent of Schools, Montclair, N. J., now on leave of absence from Montclair. Recently he served as chairman of the Wartime Com- mission committee preparing recommendations on sec- ondary education's war role, a report which resulted in formation of the Victory Corps program. Dr. Threl- keld brings to his work in the U. S. Office of Education many years of successful educational experience. Before going to Montclair he was superintendent of schools at Denver. He was also president of the American Asso- ciation of School Administrators. a
