It Is a service club whose purpose Is to create high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. Constantly endeavoring to be of service, the girls have conducted a Bible Reading Camoalgn, a Lost and Found Department, made rag dolls at Christmas time for underprivileged children, and started a project of writing letters to the boys In Service from our sohool.

The officers of the club are: president, Charlotte Wonders; vice-president, Helen Modar;secretary, Audrey Ludwig; treasurer, Louise Fennell. Various answers to letters sent by the Trl-Hl-Y members to the service men from our school read In part: ■I have been down here In Memphis, Tennessee, for over two months now. After ten weeks of my present schooling, I will go to gunnery school for four weeks I am In the Aviation Branch and will be an Aviation Ordinance man. I like the Navy very much. Write again, If you can, as I always enjoy getting letters. John Hutton 3 2 e ■Thanks very much for writing me a letter. That project of the Trl-Hl-Y Is a very nice one Anyone In service enjoys hearing from people In civilian life. No wonder you have a man shortage In Penn Twp., If all the camps have as many as this one. There are approximately seventy thousand men here at the Great Lakes, Including recruits, seamen, and officers. Theodore Wilson AS First, may I very proudly say that I am In the pink of condition, and that the army has done wonders for me as far as physical a-blllty Is concerned. We have a U30 here In Merced, California, and It’Is really a very pleasant place with a swimming pool, pool tables, ping-pong tables, archery, bowling alleys, Indoor tennis, dancing, and a restaurant. Everything Is free to those In uniform. The entertainment furnished Is beyond words. I am serving In the Ordinance Department, Pvt. Raymond Weaver ■After graduating from a sixteen-week gunnery course, the Navy sent me to advanced gunnery school to specialize In a new type of naval gun.
