High School Gives $500 to Fund

Student Council OF the Ypsilanti
High School has voted unanimous
ly, without debate, TO give $500 TO
the Goodfellow's Christmas fund.
This generous contribution was
taken from the War Activities
fund, which has also provided 50
Christmas boxes to be sent through
the American Red Cross to boys
who will be on the high seas on
Christmas Day.
Besides other contributions to
the American Red Cross and Jun
ior Red Cross this fund has been
used twice to pay the expenses OF
the blood bank. 1t has purchased
furnishings for a room at Boyer
Hospital, and supplied the honor
roll plaque. carrying the names uf
$50 former high school students
who are now in the armed forces.
The plaque, which is in the corridor
OF the school, cost about 81 900 and
the other contributions totaled
$1,000.
The war activities fund was
established by the Student Coun'
ci, about two years ago following
the first metal scrap drive, when II
was decided that the money earn
ed from the collection OF the scrap
should be put in separate account
from the general fund to take care
of special war time needs.
The Student Council Is compos
ed of i6 members. Each class from
the seventh through the 18th
grades elect two members to rep

Planned by the College for the
near future are five new dormi-
tories, four women's and one
mems. One women's unit would be
built directly north of the present
dormitories, and the new mems
would be north OF Munson Hall;
the other two womea's dormitories
would be east OF the Roosevelt

that after the war the college will

f"nds for this program from its own
resources. The building will be
started Just as soon as government
restrictions are lifted and prices
are right. President Munson says.
These dormitories will be OF the
same construction as the others.

The speaker said he had found
many instances of hesitancy on the
