What a day! ! l Veronica Lake, Mae West, Dina Shore, Betty Grable, Carmen Miranda, Eleanor Powell, Katherine Hepburn, and last but not least, Cass Daley appeared in our own auditorium on a bond tour and sold stamps and bonds amounting to approximately two thousand dollars. CAny likeness of these ac- tresses to local high-school girls was purely un- intentional-D Lights on! Action! This time it's not the camera at work: it's Elizabeth Breitenberg and her committee collecting money for the Bed Cross in all the theaters. Every afternoon and night for a week these girls made the shows their hang-outs and by doing so collected sev- eral hundred dollars. Since the boys in the Army and Navy hospitals can't have their own glamour gals on their laps, they'll just have to be content to have lapboards on which they may at least write to them. Forty of these boards were made by ten boys. Mr. Wilhite ought to put gold stars by their names. What do you think, fellows? Look at those curves. Oh, boy! How slender, how graceful! What am I talking about? The canes of course, those we made in manual training class for the limping boys- or haven't you heard? Billy Harper, Guy Hays, LAP BOARDS BRING ENIOYMENT to many boys at the hospitals. Oran Lynch, Mr. Wilhite, I. D. Burch, Phil Sims mons, and Iimmie Tucker display some that they have completed. t . A E 0 0 and others of us have been working like eager beavers to finish our quota of canes by the time school is out. Stunning? That's not the word for it. The hundred utility bags made by our girls are a sight not to be missed. Fellows, if you want to be sure of a good wife, just look around and inspect some of those utility bags the girls have made. You can't go wrong with a gal who can sew like that. A couple of prize catches would be Lela Beth Fisher and Vera Lu Melton, co-chairmen of this committee. UTILITY BAGS and watch hangers are demonstrated by Frances Benton, Vera Lu Melton, Lela Beth Fisher, Bobbie lean Iohnson, and Madeline Lockwood. 'ZH -W PAGE 15
