Q T ll-lllE HOME FRONT llN ACTION The girls of Luther College have formed their own Red Cross unit. This unit folds band- ages, working in five rooms of Larsen Hall vacated by men now in service. It meets twice Weekly, every Monday evening and Saturday afternoon, to give as many girls as possible an opportunity to contribute some time to a not- able and necessary task. The girls average about 1000 surgical dressings each week. Mrs. Ham- let Petersen is in charge of the group, and girls from the upper classes act as supervisors. More work for the Red Cross has come from the Pi Kappa Tau girls, who have made afghans for the Red Cross both semesters this year. Every member was required to knit three six- inch squares as her contribution to each afghan. The VV.S.G.A. has been selling war stamps and bonds for the past two years. Every Wecliiesclay morning before and af-ter chapel there is someone ready to change dimes and quarters into stamps for victory. House presi- dents have taken the lead as victory saleswomen. Wlieii, in the spring of 1943, a nation-wide contest was conducted to find a war bond queen among students, Luther participated. Each war stamp pur- chased gave the buyer the right to cast a vote for one of four candidates. Wiiiiier of the campus contest was Olive Sharpee, elected war 'bond queen of Luther College. The contest for bond queen of 1944 resulted in victory for Inez Brunsvold. Remembering the successful bond drive that featured the previous year's con- test, the students participated enthusiastically, buying many dollars' worth of stamps and bonds and casting their votes for their favorite representative. Miss Brunsvold received her title at the coed banquet in May, when Student Body President Robert Nelson ofncially crowned her bond queen of the year. 23
