FortyfEight l w w W JUNIOR RED CROSS The American Junior Red Cross was created twenty-six ago by a proc- lamation of President Wilson. Ever since its earliest days it has served the people the world over, in addition to its local and national service. President Roosevelt has commended the organization for justifying the faith of its founders. X The Junior Red Cross is the Red Cross Program streamlined to fit the schools of America. Hadley became a member of this national organization three years ago, and since that time has been very active. It has contributed to service men and their families such articles as ping pong tablesg lap boardsg games boardsg garments, both knitted and sewedg and many other useful items. Colorful menus for sailors on shipboard have been made, and each year one hundred Christmas stockings have been 'dlled for hospitalized service men. The organization applauds the students of Hadley for their gener- osity in giving both of their time and money in making our chapter a very successful member of the American Junior Red Cross.
