WSGA Drive
Reaches $169
The WSGA Christmas Drive
has attained $169 of its $450 goal,
Janet Lyons, chairman of the
drive, announced yesterday. The
drive started Tuesday, December
2, and will continue until Decem
ber 15.
The drive is conducted through
coed living units and by dormi
tory presidents, under the chair
manship of Janet Lyons. Every
girl on campus is to be contacted
before the end of the drive. If
each coed gives a total of thirty
cents to the drive, this year's $450
goal can be easily realized. Only
an approximate 37% of the goal
has been obtained in over half
the period of the length of the
drive, and girls not yet contacted
are urged to contribute.
When the drive first started in
1926 the women of the College
donated $105.26 to the American
Women's Hospitals. The amount
to the same organization in
creased in 1928 with a donation
of $ll5. In 1938 $132.31 was di
vided between the Mifflin County
Children's Aid and the Lytle's
Addition Nursery School.
The 1939 drive brought a total
of $196.25 which was divided
among the Mifflin Coutny Chil
dren's Aid, the American Wom
en's Hospitals, and the Estelle
Hetzel Emergency Fund. This
year's drive is contributing to
the same three organizations.
Windcrest Wives
Adopts Family
A local family of seven chil
dren and their mother have been
adopted for the Christmas season
by the Windcrest Wives. As a
Yuletide project, the club plans
to pack two baskets filled with
gifts and food.
In an effort to help gPt a bill
pased through Congress to raise
the subsistence of the married
students with children, members
of the club individually wrote to
Senators Edward Martin and
Francis Myers. A reply from
Martin written to the president
of the club declared that the bill
was at present being considered
in the House of Representatives.
Among other festivities of the
club this month are Christmas
caroling at Windcrest, 8:30 p.m.,
December 18, and the Kappa Al-.

Saturday afternoon.
The club is working in cooper
ation with the Elks .Club to pre
sent the second Annual Christ
mas party for Windcrest chil
lren. The Elks will furnish a tree
Ind trimmings and have asked
Windcrest residents to do the
decorating. As yet no date for
decorating the tree has been set.
The party will be held at Com

White Hall Bowling Plans
Spark National Telegraphics
When Miss Mildred Lucey and the Bowling Club at White Hall
organized a National Telegraphic Bowling Tournament in 1940, seven
colleges and universities accepted the challenge.
This year 49 schools from 21 states are entered in the tournament.
Twenty of the 49 teams completed the first of four rounds of
competition for the 1947-1948 schedule this week.
Results of the games, compiled in White Hall, show San Jose
State College, San Jose, Cal., the
top team for the first round with
a high score of 1483.
Penn State's bowling team
placed seventh nationally with a
total score of 1369. Teams are
composed of five members who
bowl two games apiece toward the
total score
Individual scoring honors were
taken by Phylli s Tones of San
Jose State College with a high
game of 208. Sally Hostetter of
Penn State placed sixth with 174.
The New York Times recently
published an article announcing
Temple University champion for
the four rounds of National Tele_
graphic competition last year.
This was the third straight year
Temple's bowling team had taken
the title.
Miss Lucey, organizer of the
original bo w ling telegraphics,
served as editor of the bowling
section in the 1946-1948 Guide for
Recreational Games.
This guide is published for the
National Section on Women's
Athletics of the American Asso
ciation for Health, Physical Edu
cation, and Recreation. The asso
ciation took over sponsorship of
the tournament, at the request of
Miss Lucey a nd the College Bowl
ing Club, in 1942.
