A The Junior Red Cross Council is the executive board which represents the Junior Red Cross of Alva Neal high school. It is composed of twenty members: six seniors, six juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen. They are chosen by the students to represent the various session rooms. The Junior Red Cross has probably been the most active organization this year at Alva Nealg this is accounted for by the fact that practically every student of the school is a member. The annual Christmas party was an outstanding achievement in that seventy-five children of Franklin were made happy by a personal visit from Santa Claus and a gen- eral distribution of gifts. An impressive feature of the party was a very beautiful play, Why the Chimes Rang given in a most splendid manner. Another Christmas activity was the filling -of boxes which were sent abroad. Approximately eighty boxes were filled by members of the organization. Two of the boxes have already been acknowledged by children of Budapest, Hungary. The concessions at the sectional tournament were successfully handled by the club with a degree of financial reward. An interesting magazine sponsored by the National Junior Red Cross, High School Service, was received and distributed to each session room regularly and great bene- fit was derived from it.

The high school orchestra is the only musical organization of its kind in the school and having progressed rapidly, it has taken its place among the leading musical organi- zations of Franklin. Eighteen instruments compose the orchestra and an outstanding feature is that they are all played by boys. Mrs. Rose Meredith, director, has made a success of an organization which several years ago was an uncertain project. Regular practice on each Friday morning at the convocation period has really instituted it as a weekly' activity. The orchestra gave a Wednesday morning program before the student body which was very well received. Six members will be lost by graduation and will leave vacancies very hard to fill. Seven kinds of instruments make up 'the orchestrag the following are the instru- ments, the players and their standing: violins, Joseph Handley, senior, Bruce Jolly, senior, Gilmore Stott, senior, William Mullendore, junior, clarinetsg John Ardinger, junior, John McClain, senior, Boyce McDaniel, freshman and Donald Brewer, seniorg saxophones, Robert Baker, sophomore and Richard Weaver, freshman 3 cornets, Dale Graham, sophomore, Charles Jones, freshman, George Rogers, sophomore and John Sellers, sophomore, trombones, Walter Byers, senior and David'Barrow, sophomore, drums, Charles Adams, freshmang piano, Phillip Johnson, junior. l930
