[Women training on the fire drill tower]

Photograph of women training on a fire drill tower. The tower is approximately three stories tall and ladders are propped against the building on the three sides. In April 1942 the Women’s Defense Corps was formed at UNT. The primary purpose of the organization was to train college women to organize their hometown defense and to instruct their fellow citizens in home defense. Training in the first aid, firefighting, the use of gas masks, and ambulance driving was included in this program.
