EXTEND MEMORIAL
DRIVE TO MONDAY
Returns of Coppock Campaign
Nearly $700 Less Than
Goal Set. .
Prof. Hutton Webster's "History
of Latin America" which has just
appeared, (published by D. C Heath
and company) is intended not only
for students in high schools and col
leges, but also for the general reader.
It is illustrated and equipped with
numerous maps.
The Grace Coppock memorial drive
has been extended to 6 o'clock Mon
day because of the poor results ob
tained, according to Margaret Wil
liams, chairman of the drive. The
goal was set at $1700 of which only
$1017.50 was raised. It is expected
that the additional time will bring
the amount aimed for.
Margaret Anderson's team led the
others with a total of $121 in a
meeting of the teams and captains
Friday afternoon. The Freshman
Commission team was next with $115
The cause of the slow results is
probably the continual drain on the
students, according to Miss App.eby.
This year there have been more
things for the students to suppor
than ever before.
