.. Q eela in .70ucA MOM ogdv Mi Begun in October, 1941, the Service Men's Com- mittee has compiled a card index, in constant use for addresses and birth-dates. One of the most popular activities of the committee is the sending of birth-day cards, each of them signed by Mr. O'I-learn and by teachers who know them best. These appeal to the boys even more than the Easter and Christmas greetings they receive from Steinmetz because birthdays are personal occasions. The letter file contains let- ters frorn former students. Recent communica- tions are posted on a bulletin board, so that students may find inspiration in reading them. At any time of day between classes, one or more students can be seen examining with hands that almost seem reverent these com- munications from their brothers in arms. Any visitors on furlough are warmly wel- comed by all Steinmetz teachers and students. Hardly a day passes without some uniformed guests. These sign the visitors' register in the office and receive a visitor's pass, honored guests of their alma mater. SERVICE MEN'S COMMITTEE Almost twenty-three hundred former students of Steinmetz are in the service. They are scattered in hundreds of camps and hospitals, fighting on many fronts. Keeping in touch with the boys and girls of Steinmetz is a colossal task, the project of the Service Men's Com- mittee. Miss Ruby Yetter is chair- man of this committee. Other fac- ulty members on the committee are Mrs. Elma E.'.Boughton, Miss B. Pearl Dierks, Miss Iosephine D. Farr, Miss Ruth H. Kilgour, Miss Agnes M. Polka, Mrs. Esther H. Frey, Mr. lames M. Downey, Mr. Herbert A. Iackson, Mr. Cornelius F. Henze, Miss Agatha A. Posse and Mr. Stanley Nalecz. Enthusi- astic student secretaries are Shir- ley Anderson, Ruth Meyer, lean Harges, and Marge Winter. WY sw?
