Trainees Enjoy 'Happy Hour'
Presented to a medium-sized audience, the Navy "Happy Hour" brought entertainment to civilians and Navy trainees alike in Hoch auditorium last night.
Especially pleasing to the trainees of the Machinist's hnd Electrician's Mates Schools was the March of Time, in silhouette, depicting the history of the school. Narrated by Chief Yeoman George Starkey, the figures portrayed important events of the school. The feminine part of the greetings and farewells to the first machinist's mate division to train at the school were emphasized in the scenes.
Another highlight of the March of Time was the greeting between a machinist mate and a V-12 trainee, in which the boys exchanged hand salutes, with the right thumb about three inches below and the left of the usual saluting position. Lindley's Dancing Pleases
The dancing of Maxine Lindley and Jean Richardson received immense spontaneous approval from the men, as did the baton twirling of Betty Young. Betty Cohagen, many time performer on the "Happy Hours," received her usual acclaim upon singing "Speak Low," and the applause to the trio of Joan Veatch, Annette Bigelow, and Kathryn O'Leary further indicated that the

Dr. Hibbard said that the books are invaluable to the University because they help to build up an efficient working library to be used by students in the museum while they are doing research in a particular field.
Alumni Membership Sought of Seniors
Subscriptions to membership in the Alumni Association may be made by seniors in the March graduating class next week. Eloise Penner, member of the publicity committee of the senior class, announced today.
"They will be contacted personally," she said, "and the membership is entirely optional. It is not included in the senior class dues."
Membership in the Association costs $2 a year for the first five years after graduation, Miss Penner explained. This membership will entitle the holder to receive the graduate magazine which is published eight and sometimes nine times a year.
"The magazine is nice to have," Miss Penner commented, "as it informs graduates of the activities of their former classmates."
Hill Bond Drive Reaches $4,250 After Army Rally
Subscriptions totalling more than $500 by the AST trainees and approximately $150 by the enlisted cadre resulted from the Army bond rally held last evening in Fraser theater. These contributions were largely responsible for the boost in the University subscription, which is now $4,257.80, only $742.20 under the goal of $5,000. Betty Jo O'Neal, CVC major, announced today.
Following a short talk by Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, who explained that the Secretary of War has asked for 90 per cent of AST trainees to deduct 10 per cent of their pay monthly as well as make special contributions to this Fourth War Loan, Dr. F. C. Allen addressed the AST unit.
"We must get behind this drive so we can still have our self-respect when these men overseas come home. That's the least any American can do!" "Phog" Allen declared, after an argument on the sound investment which war bonds offer.
Competition between Companies C and B of Lindley hall has been put on a proportional basis, and following the rally, the trainees started off their drive by purchasing stamps and bonds from CVC bond sales-girls, who had set up booths at Fraser, under the direction of Betty Jo O'Neal. CVC major.
Women selling bonds were Heloise Hillbrand, Jean Fergus, Mariette Bennett, Nancy Freeto, Shirley Otter, Shirley Kelley, Leatice Gibbs, and Jacqueline Simmons.
All trainees were not able to subscribe last night, and will be given an opportunity to purchase bonds and stamps at a booth which will be placed in Lindley hall by the CVC to be open daily from 12 noon to 1 p.m., and from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The winning company will be guests at a buffet supper in the Union building. Sunday, Feb. 27.
