Pep Commission To Sell
War Stamp Corsages
Jack Macy and his Pep Commission will be selling- the
War Stamp Corsages, especially made for the Backwards
Dance, in the halls Wednesday. They range in price from
15 cents to 55 cents. The shoulder decorations for the lucky
males are being made by the WAA as its extra contribution
to the PJC Sixth War Loan Drive, under the direction of WAA
President Nancy Waterman and
adviser Mrs. Elizabeth Horton.
The 15 cent corsage contains
a 10 cent war stamp; the 30 cent,
a 25 cent war stamp; and the 55
cent, two 25 cent war stamps.
The extra nickel covers the cost
of materials. WAA members are
experienced makers of corsages,
having made some 200 of them
last year for a school affair. At
that time, the demand was great¬
er than the supply, and the cor¬
sages were sold out in a very few
hours. As a consequence, 400 are
being made for this occasion.
Pep Commission members this
year are as follows: Jane Krone-
berger, Barbara Lauderdale, Mar¬
garet Seaman, Bill Sanborn, Vic¬
tor Asadourian and Jim McAdam.
Pom-Pom Girls are Glendora
Cline, Virginia Gobel, Lois Jack-
son, and Ann Maurice. Cheer
leaders are Bill Penny, Stuart
Hudson, and Don Tuverson.

Backwards Dance Fetes
Scant Male Population
By Frank McCormack
Doors of the Civic will open at 9 p. m. Wednesday night
for this semester’s edition of the Backwards Dance, at which
the male part of PJC’s population becomes “king for a day.”
The gals call for their man, take him to the dance, supply him
with a War Stamp corsage, and pay the evening’s costs.
With “Harvest Holiday” as its theme, the dance officially
opens the two-day Thanksgiving
vacation. Bob Mohr and his pop¬
ular college style band will share
the spotlight with the lucky men
in an atmosphere of harvest cele¬
bration provided by the decora¬
tions committee.
Curfew for dancers will ring at
12 midnight, and, as the last
strains of the National Anthem
die away, the coeds will be doing
some fancy mental juggling in
an attempt to decide whether
they have enough money to feed
their famished date at one of the
local drive-ins.
The leading English class and
the eight leading victory sales¬
men will be announced at the
dance as an impetus to further
efforts by the students during
the Thanksgiving Holiday. The
winning English class will choose
the name for the plane, and the
eight winning salesmen will re¬
ceive lapel pin replicas of the
plane.
