Two-Week Campaign Offers Students

Organizing to give everyone a chance
to aid in national defense, High Life
will launch Tuesday an all-ont drive to
collect waste paper, Betty Routh, busi
ness manager, announced today.
Stanley Johnson, faculty member in
charge of the supply shop, will help
in putting on the campaign. He stated
that a large thermometer will be placed
in the hall to register the amount of
paper each home room collects. This
will be recorded by chairmen, who will
report daily.
Everyone Can Help
“This,” declared Mr. Johnson, “is the
chance everyone has been looking for.
There is not one person who cannot
do his part by bringing old papers and
magazines to sell to Uncle Sam.” The
proceeds from the campaign will be
added to High Life's funds.
It is understood that this campaign
will not interfere with a similar one
being carried out by the student coun

paper from the homes.
