After an enthusiastic assembly of the student body early in the fall, Seton's army began to devote itself whole- heartedly to the War effort. The student body formed a War Board consisting of the two highest ollicers in each class. This War Board listed all the girls into units, corresponding to the women,s organizations now in the service. So as WAACS headed by Marian Conway, the WAFS under the leadership of Mary Lee Dinsmore, the .WAVES directed by Peggy Tourtellott, and the WAAMS under Ellamae Keck, the students marched on to the various goals set by the Board for the School at War Program. Save, Serve, ConJer'Ue became the motto for every Setonian. The attractive, showy booth was erected, where, each day, one division tried to out-do the others in purchasing War Stamps. For Uncle Sam's scrap pilev various drives were undertaken. A total of 3809 keys were collected, 75 pounds of old annual engravings, as well as five hundred com- pacts, arid lipstick containers. And so-Seton's army kept in step toward the victory goal. 'A' Martha Loynd, Mary Long, Marybeth Treschcr

Cn the Home Front After enrolling IOOW in the Junior Red Cross, each class sponsored a project for raising money for its fund. The seniors held their traditional candied apple sale, the juniors appealed to the appetites of all by their bake sale. Knowing the desire for something new in ornaments, the sophomores made and sold holly hair-does. The freshman class had an unusual collection of Clothes Pin dolls, their own hand Work too, which they sold to make money for the fund. When totalled, the mark reached to about 29125 for the Red Cross Fund. In response to an appeal from the local Red Cross Center, the freshmen answered by making SOO Christmas favors which Were sent to soldiers in hospitals. Early in the spring, some of the girls under the direction of Miss Mock, made utility bags and afghan squares for the soldiers, others painted one pound tin cans to be used by the nurses over-seas as containers for cold cream. The pro- jects for the Red Cross appealed to every girl because of their variety. All answered generously.
