ome 'Front wick, made patriotic posters and placed them throughout' the building. Peter Dixon and Bob Hughes served as co-chairmen of this project, and to them and their committee goes much of the credit for the success of the drive. Baldwin answered the Govern- ment's call for waste paper with two different drives. They were the first of their kind, and the students re- sponded enthusiastically. To boost the tonnage and to encourage school spirit among the students, they were worked on a competitive basis be- tween the classes. The seniors held the lead in the first drive and the lOA's took the honors in the last one, while the cther classes followed. Baldwin surpassed all the other schools of Birmingham by collecting L9,805 pounds. Many students were seen tying up, sorting, and weighing bundles 'way past the dinner hour amid mountains of paper, now and then pausing long enough to leaf through an old Esquire. Thus Baldwin did its part in helping to alleviate the acute national paper shortage by collecting this vital war material. It seems the Council was all out for drives this year, and came up with another. This time it was to aid the War effort in its collection of waste fats for explosives. Again the students came tiirough with a bang! Patriotic spirit lent itself to the project as they pooled their fats to help Uncle Sam. Weighed and added up, it came to 395 pounds. Orchids to W. S. Toothacker who so willingly gave his time and serv- ices, to the Defense Council which or- ganized the war program, and to the students who made it possible! Although these projects actually played but a small part in the win- ning of the War, it is all the little things added together that will spell victory. fleanne Wilkens Top: With pretty Ruth Harrell and Dottie Scott standing in the booth, who could help but buy a bond? Here Mary Elizabeth Smith does the purchasing while patient Claudia Reed stands in line. Center: Baldwin's representatives of the Birm- ingham Defense Council finish making last minute plans for the fats drive. They are from left to right: President Ieanne Wilkens, Don McLeese, Carol Crane, and Ralph Pea- body. Bottom: Some of the ambitious people who took care of the publicity for the Fourth War Loan were Lewis Booth, Clara White, Ioanne Smith, Maxine LaRoux, and Dorothy Iauss, seen here working on an inspiring bulletin board.
