THE JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross or the nService Clubu as some may call it, be- cause of its way of helping people, is known for its many efforts to cheer the boys who gave their lives for America, We are proud to help support such an institution. Every student in Burbank Junior High School is a meme ber and very proud to be of service. Evert Lappinen, our student repre- sentative, goes to council meetings at Berkeley High once a month and brings us the information concerning the Junior Red Cross activities to be carried on by Burbank. The Junior Red Cross helps many invalids at differ- entdhomes and hospitals and is known over the entire universe. Burbank has been a member for over ten years. I'm sure everyone will help it to continue its wonderful work. Dorothy Conrad HBZ' S JUNIOR HI Y y How would you like to swim, and eat, and have an evening of clean sport, and healthy fun, all under the best of supervision? If you would, join the Hi Y. The Hi Y is directed by-Mr. Frick. We meet on Friday nights at the Y.M.C.A., where we eat, sing songs, have movies, or a speak- er: then we go swimming. One of our best programs was a skating party at URol1erland.U The Y.M.C.A, encourages clean speech, clean mind, and clean body in these meetings, and at all times. Through the cooperation of Mr. Standley and the school we were able to buy a banner. With the help of the YQM1CiA. and the Burbank.Sdhodl we have established a fine club, We all hope this club will continue and be- come better. Bernard Pedersen L9y' LOST AND FOUND We are greatly indebted to two Burbank girls for the time and thought they have given to Burbank's Lost and Found Department. These girls have stayed after school every night, and painstakingly pasted on adhesive tape labels to the articles turned in. They write in a book, kept for that pur- pose, the number and description of all articles turned in. When someone comes to claim an article he is required to sign his name in the book op- posite the description before he takes it away, Most of the things that are found by pupils are turned in to this de- partment. It has been of great benefit to the school to have this, and Burbank has something to be proud of, in the Lost and Found Department. - Alice Miller H8yU

GIRL RESERVES One of the finest clubs offered by Burbank School, is the Girl Re- Serves. The club meets on Mondays after school, at the Burbank Clubhouse, where.the girls have many a rollicking time. They make leather purses, scrap-books, cut linoleum blocks, and do things for other children. Often they give plays and parties, and in warm weather, enjoy outdoor activities The uniform of the Girl Reserves, is a white middy and skirt, and a blue Girl Reserve tie. The symbol is a triangle within a circle. There is a G, R. in the circle that stands for Girl Reserve. - This is,a wonderful organization for girls of the nteen-age,U so if you are looking for some wholesome pleasure, join the Girl Reserves.

All are friendly and agreeable, Many girls regard Camp Fire as a dry, uninteresting business meeting but they are far from the right. True, they do have business meetings, but they also have many other interesting things. Our group gave a dance this term. It was a big success. When money in the treasury becomes low, we give punch or candy sales to raise the fund. The Camp Fire Girls' summer camp is a wonderful place for girls to spend their vacations. They learn many useful arts, such as first aid, life-saving, and nature-study. Everything is done systematically. There is an hour for play and one for rest, an hour for swimming and one for hiking. In this way, the girls never have to ask what to do, ' So come on girls! Donft miss all the fung sign up now for membership in our group and earn your own ceremonial gown. Be able to show proudly the honors you have won for honest effort and work, - Iona Bowers L9y'
