bills that Bill’s accident resulted in.
Thanks to contributions by Aggies
and Comanche citizens, the fin
ancial load has been lightened
greatly.
The Campus Chest drive, now
underway on the campus is design
ed with accidents such as Bill
Curry’s, in mind. If there had been
a Campus Chest then, Aggies
could have said, “Bill, here are our
chest funds of more than $4,000.
You can have as much of it as
you need.”
Accident’s like Bill’s happen
every now and then in spite of
everyone’s wishes. By giving to
the Campus Chest, Aggies will be
ready at a moment’s notice to help
a buddy in need.
By contributing $1 each, Aggiefjj
can reach the Chest goal of $7,000.
A Chest representative is in each
dorm to collect contributions.
