VET VILLAGE Directly behind our campus is a little conummity made up of small frame, barrack-like apartments and numerous trailers. This is where our married folks live. The village was organized immediately after the World War II to accommodate veterans and their families who were attending school. Now, however, not only veterans biu anyone can li c in these apart- ments and trailers as long as at least one member of the family attends school . . . oiu school, of course. The center of interest is the Community Grocery where the men folks gather for a game of ping-pong (the recreation room is built in with the store), and the women gather their groceries. The people in Vet Village arc very proud of their small community. It was just recently that they held their election for their Ideal Vet Village Family. j lr. and Mrs. Bob Veach and daughter Vickie were elected. You can see in the picture at right that their choice was obviously wise.
