WAR BONDS Bond drives are, and will be to the war's end, a part of HP's school ac- tivities. The Fourth War Loan, coming at the break between semesters, was the biggest and best yet. A Spec extra, in January, announced drive obiectives, setting pre-examination homeroom quotas, based on enroll- ment, totaling S60,000. Actual cam- paigns were opened in rallies ad- dressed by Principal D. L. Pyle and Superintendent H. L. Shibler. After finals, the Student Association spon- sored two assembly-rallies, at which 46 of HP's gallants were awarded their ribbons, the other 24 having received theirs in the old semester. Dave Gelston, JC's sleight-of-hand man illustrated with rope tricks lupper rightl his talk on bonds and Allied supply lines. By this time quotas had already been raised twice, with every sign of another upping. Thirty-one of a possible 47 homerooms had already gone over their quotas, led by Rooms 201 and 304 with Sl2,042.85 and 57,- 7l2.l5 as their respective totals. Opening with a quota of Sl09,000, Parkers met it and bettered it by more than 75 percent. Smiles adorned the faces of the bond committee when the chairman announced the record-breaking total of Sl89,523.4O. Gallants of the upper brackets are lclockwisel Mary McColl, Barbara Reisdorf, student bond chairman, Mary Vartoogian, James Wood, and Frances Morse, each of whom sold over 55,000 10-B Gallants Cleft to rightl Janet Comfort, Patty Fee, Margaret Woughter, Charles Duns- combe, Cynthia Allen, Elaine Perrett, Kenneth lee, and Lois Maesenich, each sold 51,000 or so.
