The Council met weekly to settle the numerous weighty problems brought to their attention and to con- sider worthwhile suggestions. Towel service was extended to the football and bas- ketball teams, and a noon-hour program was again or- ganized for those who lunched at school. The Council also assisted the Defense Council with the weekly sales of war stamps and bonds. A major project undertaken was 31,000 war bond drive, sponsored with the help of the Defense Council during the Sixth War loan Drive, which netted 5l,826.25. During March the group succeeded in selling enough stamps to buy a field ambulance costing 3l,95O. The Council shared the cost of purchasing for the session the maroon stage curtains, which are now in use By selling Ncokesn, potato chips, and Whot dogs' at the basketball tournament, and by supporting a paper drive the group collected the needed' revenue.
