Due to the great success of our bond and stamp sales, the "Buy a Jeep'' drive was passed quickly to "Buy a Tank" and then to "Buy a Bomber".

Headlines, splashed across the front page of every newspaper in the nation, announced the entrance of the United States into a war which was to last four trying years. The people of America rolled up their sleeves, pushed aside personal pleasures, and began to strive for victory. The tremendous sacrifices made by our students in service could never be expressed adequately by illustrations or written word. The record of the various war activities on the homefront can be, however. Since Pasadena Junior College may be justly proud of her contributions to the war effort, the editors feet that it is fitting to include in the 1946 CAMPUS this section devoted to P.J.C.'s record during the war.

Organized during Christmas vacation after that fateful December day, the Pasadena Junior College War Council began to organize immediately for defense as the bombing of the California coast seemed imminent. Since that time, the Council, under the direction of Ida E. Hawes, has kept abreast of the times and has been ready for any emergency. it has sponsored many drives and has made contributions to the Red Cross and the United China Relief. $325,000.00 in war bonds were sold in P.J.C.'s name, (which bought a P-61 fighter plane, named the "Fighting Bulldog") and large sums were collected for the War Chest and the World Student Service Fund. Edward Davis organized the Council, and since then Stuart Fitch, Ruth Champlain, Frank McCormack, Lucille Marlin, and Esther Haines have held the responsible position of student chairman. Throughout the existence of the War Council, faculty members and students have worked side by side on every project, keeping P.J.C. very busy in war activities. Today, after victory has been won, they are promoting peace.
