Students selling war bonds

Students selling war bonds

Students gather around a booth set up to sell war bonds. The sign on the front reads, "If you want them back - back them!" The students pictured are, kneeling, from left to right: Mary Doswell and Phyllis Dunbar; standing, from left to right: Grace Bailey, Nancy Aitcheson, and Kathleen Harrison.

On the back is a typed yellow page which states, "MARY WASHINGTON GIRLS COMPETE IN BUYING WAR STAMPS, The junior class wins another award for the purchase of War Savings Stamps and Bonds in the competition which is being conducted by students at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, VA. At present the freshmen and the sophomores are tied for the lead, with the seniors trailing close behind. Behind the booth hangs the "Minute Man" flag which the college was awarded last year when 95 percent of the student body bought Stamps and Bonds regularly. Kneeling, left to right, are Miss Mary Doswell, Richmond, and Miss Phyllis Dunbar of Elmira Heights, N.Y. Left to right, standing, are Misses Grace Bailey, Richmond; Nancy Aitcheson, Alexandria, and Kathleen Harrison, Meadowview, Va."
