Moomaw and Love Are Chair
men
Saint Mary’s started its current
drive tor the purchase of war bonds
and stamps January 16. This cam
paign will last through the middle
of February. The present goal is
$1,100, or the bond price of one jeep.
Sales are being made every Tuesday
and Friday afternoon by members
of the circulation staff of the Belles.
If every member of a hall buys at
least two stamps a week, that hall
will he awarded the Treasury De
partment Minute Man. If 90 per
cent of the school can keep up this
record. Saint Mary’s will receive a
Treasury Citation. There will be
hall competition, but individual rec
ords w'ill also be kept.
The co-chairmen of this Bond
Drive are Anna Margaret and Lil
lian Love Avho are working in collab
oration with the circulation staff of
the Belles under Betsy Durham.
Members of this staff are selling
stamps on their own halls twice a
week. These girls are: May Bunn,
Bobby Jean Hardy, Jane Divers,
Ann Brundage, Frances Avera, Peg
gy Moran, Mary Willis Sledge, Rita
Phelps, Kathryn Fulton, Sallie Lee,
Kathryn Bassett, Jo Ryan, Vir
ginia Smith, Jane Dickey, Virginia
Mathews, Katherine Guion, Carolyn
desChamps, Jean Johnston, Helene
Carpenter, Jean Rickenbaker, Kath
ryn Lane, Helen Fleenor, Margaret
Skidmore, Bobby Cleve, Sister Bar
ringer, and Vina Havens. The first
two sales netted $60.00 and $80.75,
with second floor West Wing and
second floor Holt leading in Hall
competition.
War Fund Collection
One-hour Bible classes and French 23 will have examinations during
regular class period the week of January 22-27.
The first collection of- money
pledged for the United War Fund is
scheduled for Tuesday, January 23,
by a representative from each hall
who will be responsible for collecting
the money, according to ,Iane Peete
and Martha Parker, who are in
charge of the drive.
Each student is advised to pay as
much of her pledge as possible so as
to make a second drive unnecessary.
Besides avoiding another collection,
no one will be worried with keeping
the money on hand or saving it for
a later drive. However, if all the
money is not turned in, another col
lection will be held some time dur
ing April.
Everyone is asked to have the
exact amount of money to he paid
available so that it can be easily
collected by the representative on
luesday.
