THE COUPON DRIVE
Two hundred and fifty dollars have
Just been received by the alumnae of-
flce for the package of 60,000 coupons
sent to Colgate & Co. on November 14.
All told, this makes 11,000.00 earned
as premium money In. exchange tor
200.000 coupons—Just one-fifth of our
goat.
It Is the belief of the alumnae sec
retary that at least another 100,000
coupons—and entirely possible that
200,0(M)—can be secured by Decern*
ber 31. So from now until that date it
behooves ail alumnae to make an ex
tra special effort to collect these cou
pons. Remember, after December 31
the rate of exchange goes down from
$6.00 to $4.00 per thousand. If all
who possibly can will lay In an extra
supply of the coupon bearing products
before December 31 and send In Ihesc
coupons, that will be a sure way of
helping to reach our goal.
ALUMNAE TRUSTEES
Of special interest to the alumnle
is the report that three alumnae have
been elected to fill vacancies on the
Meredith College Board of Trustees.
This occurred at the recent meeting
of the Baptist State Convention in
Charlotte.
