lHl HUHHHHN to enjoy it all-they keep coming back. The morale-building, shall we say, has been mutual. In February, a faculty Truth and Consequences show was held to stimulate the purchase of war stamps and to increase the number of blood donors. Other such drives have been successfully staged throughout the year. Miss McCurley, the Committees sponsor, is always ready and will- ing to lend a hand, and Miss Falley, the librarian, has helped keep books and magazines flowing steadily to the P.O.E. at Ft. Meade. Coucher is certainly doing its part to help the men who are getting it over over there! We serve before .... and after graduation. We donate blood and rally 'round at the Truth and Con- sequences show. NRT it -1. ,'..P'9'fR.'ft . L-,av f '!'rN if . Q5 21
