Title
Loyola News: “Veteran’s Organization Forming”
Description
This article by Bob Hansen in the Loyola News describes a meeting on Thursday, March 1, 1945 to elect officers for the newly forming World War II veterans student group. The new officers were President Jim Stokes, Vice President Chuck Roe, and Secretary Leo Blockus. Their aim was "to link together men of military experience in order to have a thorough knowledge of the veteran's rights, and to know how to go about attaining these rights." The article continues:
"It is expected that this organization will continue to grow as the veterans return from fields of battle. It will, no doubt, be the largest and strongest organization on the campus.
If you are a veteran and are interested in knowing and achieving your rights, make it a point to be present at the next meeting of the yet unnamed Loyola veterans club this Thursday, room 114, at 1:00 PM."
