Students Exhibit Window Displays
To Push Sixth War Loan Drive
The Sixth War Loan drive of
ficially opened in Orange County
last Monday with an assigned
quota of $518,000; $283,000 of
which will be accounted for in
“E” Bond purchases.
In Chapel Hill the drive is
being sponsored by a committee
of representatives from all town
organizations. This committee,
headed by Mr. Maryon Saunders,
met November 13 to decide on
campaign strategy and to inform
various groups of their duties,
which includes contacting Chapel
Hill citizens and securing indi
vidual participation in the drive.
The schooPs part in the drive
is twofold. In addition to encour
aging students to buy War
Stamps regularly, each homeroom
has been assigned a store window
to decorate.
The Chapel Hill Merchants
Association has made store win
dows available to each of the
eleven homerooms in the Junior
and Senior High Schools.
The Merchants Association is
offering a $25 War Bond to the
homeroom showing the most
originality. —DS.

with a worship service Tuesday
morning in Chapel. Music was
played as the students entered
the auditorium after which Hilda
Sharkey led the audience in a
litany. A Thanksgiving hymn was
sung and a prayer was offered.

High School Is
100 Per Cent In
Red Cross Drive
Mrs. Helen Macon, high school
sponsor of the Junior Red Cross
announced last week that $28.50
was the total amount contributed
in the annual membership drive
making the student body one hun
dred per cent.
The Elementary School also is
one hundred per cent in member
ship having contributed $136, and
a portion of the money was con
tributed from the earnings the
students made by doing odd jobs
around the homes.
The Red Cross drive will in
clude other activities such as
making scrap books and games
for the soldiers. Since the mem
bership drive has terminated, the
homerooms will begin this work.
CAPC Members Fly
Approximately thirty-five mem
bers of the C. A. P. took their
first official ride at the Chapel
Hill airport Sunday afternoon in
an Army Liaison Plane sent
from Raleigh. Three of the four
planes scheduled for the flight
were grounded in Charlotte be
cause of weather conditions.
A second flight is planned for
December 3, for the purpose of
taking up those C. A. P.’s who
were unable to make the initial
flight Sunday.
Volley Ball Courts Reconditioned For Use
Several weeks ago the two
volley ball courts behind the Cone
House were again put in condi
tion to be used. This was ac
complished largely through the
efforts of Principal A. W. Honey
cutt who saw to it that they were
fixed. A third court, below the
other two, is now being put in
condition for the use of C. H. H.
S. girls.
The courts are being used by
the boys at lunch and after
school, and by the sixth period
Physical Education class. They
go a long way in providing enter
tainment for students in their
off-time.
No Swimming Team
Willis Casey, University
swimming coach, announced
that the swimming pool was so
full that it would be impossible
to start a high school team be
fore February.
