and at the Whidby Island Naval
base. Walt Baker, co-chairman of
Home Front, reports that the officer
in charge at the local Coast Guard
base has already promised to grant
some extra leaves for that week­end.

many old grads as can possibly do
so will attend the dance, as well
as other actvities, to keep the tra­ditional
Homecoming spirit from
being entirely lost.
In keeping with its war-time
theme, Home Front and all-out
