CAMPUS INAUGURATES SALE OF WAR BONDS AND STAMPS FOR ITS SECOND YEAR

The Victory Booth was reopened in front of the College Shoppe on October 9, 1942. Again the defense program was sponsored by Student Government Association. A Chapel program under the direction of Student Government consisted of patriotic songs played by the Mary Washington College Band; a short skit, and quartet singing under the direction of one of the students.
In order that many students might have the chance to participate in the sale of United States War Bonds and Stamps, the Student Council divided the activities into six separate committes. All groups functioned under the direction of the Supervising Committee consisting of Student Council members. The committees designated were: Art Committee, whose function was to make posters, placards and plans for the sale of Christmas Cards containing stamp albums.
The Organization Committee was in charge of organizing volunteers for regular duty at the stamp booth.
The Publicity Committee had as its main duty the constant promotion of War Stamps and Bonds on the hill.
The Radio Committee publicized the sales by weekly announcements over the M.W.C. radio program hour.
