Freshman Defense Ball
Donations To Purchase
Bonds For Loan Fund
National defense usually is a
serious subject, but it won't be so
tonight.
To help the United States pro
cure weapons to defeat all tyrant
nations, cash donations received at
the Freshman Defense Ball in the
Armory from 8:30 o'clock until
midnight tonight will be invested
in Defense Bonds. The bonds will
then be given to Mrs. Het2, 6. 9l's
Emerngency Loan Fund.
Planned as a mixer for fresh
men, the ball will be informal. AA
Books will be the only admission
but donations will be taken for the
bond plan. Co-chairmen Renee U.
Marks '45 and Walter M. Robinson
'45 have urged that men and worn
