Rings Bell Again With New Salvage Records Exceeds All Expectations By Collecting 8,002 Pounds in Single Day Jefferson Junior High School, consistently at the top or near it in The Evening Star-P.-T. A. Salvage for Victory Campaign, yesterday rang up two more records for the other schools to shoot at. The best record for a single day’s | collection was scored when a total of 585 pounds of magazines and 7417 pounds of paper or a grand total of 8,002 pounds were collected. This is a greater total than Jeffer- son has turned in for the entire campaign up to yesterday. One individual section of 35 stu- dents collected more than a ton of this amount, the first time a section has passed the one-ton mark. Jefferson had so much paper Prin- | jor students, besides Mike Pappa- fotis, also vice president of the class, are Delores Naylor, Lorraine Garner and Frank Kidwell, presidents of the three sections, and Raymond Cogs- well and Billy Weddington, president and secretary, respectively, of the entire class. Despite its comparatively small | student body, Jefferson has been a | leader in the campaign since its start in December. Jefferson stu- dents are credited with stirring up students in other leading schools— Bancroft, Barnard and Lafayette Elementary Schools, and Roosevelt High School. | This record has been established | by Jeffersorf despite the relatively | small population of the area in which it is located, at Eighth and I streets SW. In weekly tabulations it has been first twice, third once and fourth once, for the entire city. Strenuous work by students in other schools probably will be necessary to take the lead away for at least another week. Masonic Leader Enters Alexandria Council Race| Joseph H. Kretschmer, railroad engineer and leader in Alexandria Masonic organizations. cipal Hugh Smith thought the en-|nounced his candidacy for the Dem- tire southwest area could not con- tain one more stray comic section. But as collection trucks pulled up | to haul away the estimated three tons of paper collected in less than a i week, Mike Pappafotis, Student Council president, told the students to go ringing doorbells and asking | for “paper for defense.” Graduating Class Gives Ton. | One ton was donated to Jefferson’s Parent-Teacher Association, which 1s sponsoring the drive in co-opera- | tion with The Star, by the three sections of the class to be graduated | Thursday night. The ton amassed by 35 members of only one section came from a class led by Katherine Leathers, 16, of 476 G street S.W. Katherine was chosen by acclaim of her classmates as the hardest worker in the section drive. She worked in free periods Friday in spite of . a sore foot, ringing door- bells up end down Virginia avenue S.W. The section chose as the next | three hardest workers Robert May, | Lyle Sherman and Wesley Domld-i son. Every member of the class scoured | the neighborhood, said their teacher, | Mrs. Glenn Richard. The week be- | fore it led the school, but with only | 300 pounds as contrasted to 2,000 collected last week. The other 2 tons were collected by "~ Long Among Leaders. the 600 other students at Jefferson. | Leaders in the drive among the sen- | acratic nomination for the Alexan- dria City Council from the fifth ward, subject to the primary of April 5.
