OPENING OF THE VICTORY BOOTH--JAN 30, 1942

Any Bonds Today??? A campaign was started on the hill for the sale of Defense Bonds and Stamps among College faculty and students on January 23, 1942. The defense program of Mary Washington College is sponsored by the Student Government Association with Dr. Edward Alvey acting as advisor.
In launching the defense program, a Victory Booth was erected outside the College Shoppe where students can come and make their purchases of Bonds and Stamps at any time during the day. A special convocation program was planned for the initiation ceremony, and a group from the radio broadcasting class discussed informally the meaning of defense Bonds and Stamps and how the success of such a program lies in the support and cooperation of each student on the campus. The first day sale netted $60.
