THE 1945 BULLETIN BOARD COMMITTEE BETTY TYLER Chairman MESS CORA MAE FITZGERALD Sponsor The Bulletin Board Committee is composed of students from the entire student body. The original membership was selected by the Student Council, however, others who were interested in the work joined voluntarily. The purpose of this committee is to keep the large bulletin board in the center hall decorated. Ve felt that all the displays should be educational as well as decorative. Since displays more than a week old lose their attraction, we have tried to make a change every week. Navy Day, Hallowe’en, National Iflection, Thanksgiving, Red Cross Drive, T. B. Drive, Christmas, Infantile Paralysis Drive, X’alentine’s Day and Easter all afforded us ideas for our projects. Although we spent many lunirs of hard labor in decorating our board, when each was ffnished we knew it had been well worth our effort. Eor the pleasure and success of the year, we owe much to our chairman. Betty Tyler, whose guidance and faithfulness kept us all inspired.
