Ann Arbor High School students' drive to collect books for the library of the State Prison of Southern Michigan at Jackson has been such a success that they are now busy sorting over the 2,000 contributions which have thus far been contributed. Above are (left to right) Adele Godfrey, Neil Remnant, Martha Heusel, Barbara De Wolfe, and Nanette Reganall. The students voted to undertake the project at the suggestion of their principal, Nicholas Schreiber. Schreiber and other school officials learned, when touring the prison recently, that no state funds had been appropriated to buy books for the prison library.

VICTORY BOOK CAMPAIGN ATTAINS GOAL: Here is proof that America's soldiers are not only the best fed but the best read. Mrs. Peter Vanderwaart, one of the workers in the Washtenaw county and Ann Arbor Victory Book campaign, is shown surrounded by heavy piles of light reading for our fighting men. These stacks of books, ranging in subject matter from Da Vinci to Der Fuehrer, are located in one of the five rooms at the collection center in Red Cross headquarters at North Hall which were necessary to house the 11,000 volumes turned in during the campaign.
