 Y A R A C T I V ES The students of Mac High have chalked up a very worthy record for then pait in the war effort. The faculty and the students contributed approximately $1,000 to the various drives that were conducted during the past year. In addition Mac High made a very good showing in the purchases of war bonds and stamps during the war loans besides purchasing bonds and stamps every Thursday. Also the tin can drive, waste paper drive and the used clothes drive for foreign relief have been made a success through the work of the students and faculty. I he school can well be proud of its achievements during the past year. SIXTH WAR LOAN DRIVE AUCTION The Sixth War Loan Bond drive in Yamhill county was sponsored by the women's organizations. At the same time the girls of McMinnville High School sponsored an Auction at school. The committee, with Rosalie Adams as chairman, consisted of the girls of the Student Council, the class presidents, and the student body president. This committee divided into several groups to contact the business men to donate some article that could be sold at the Auction, or to give $2 with which articles could be purchased to be sold. The Auction, held December 5 and 6. long will be remembered by the Junior and Senior highs for the fun created during the program and sales period. The bidding was in terms of bonds and stamps instead of dollars and cents. Some of the items purchased were: a turkey, blanket, grease jobs, haircuts, candy, gum. case of coke, case of canned milk, a dog. and some items that were hard to purchase in the rationed times. The service groups headed by the Collect-O-Peps sold popcorn balls for stamps. Dates with popular boys and girls were also sold at the Auction. Later these couples attended the band premiere held that night. The evening was climaxed with the Home economic club serving them refreshments in the high school dining room. Sam Hayes, over his breakfast news broadcast cited McMinnville high school as having done outstanding war work. The total amount sold was $50,500 in bonds and $455 in stamps. WAR CHEST DRIVE Once each year throughout the United States, a war chest drive is conducted. They money from this drive is distributed in various ways among such service clubs as the U. S. O.. ct cetera. MARCH OF DIMES DRIVE Both Junior and Senior high school were proud to present its $408.09 to the county chairman at the end of the March of Dimes drive. The Senior high “M” club sponsored a program and dance in behalf of the drive and the hat was passed for ‘ dimes.’' but folding money was accepted. Junior high school held out a contest to determine which room contributed the most toward this cause. RED CROSS DRIVE The Red Cross Drive held this year from March 14 to April 2 proved very successful under the chairmanship of Jimmy Donnelly. It costs the Red Cross six dollars for every second and our goal of paying for one minute of Red Cross was easily reached with more to spare. Total contributions were $385.50. — 28 —
