Many times this cry of joy has been raised. There is good reason, too, for wherever disease or disaster aids the grim reaper, the Red Cross is close behind performing its er- rands of mercy. Everyone is familiar with the Work done by the International Red Cross in the last War, but be- hind the scenes are people of all ages. Here at Murray, the students have gone far in aiding the local Red Cross. Our Red Cross representatives have filled overseas boxes, and collected magazines, playing cards, and games for local veterans hos- pitals. This is in addition to their usual Work schedule and fall collection. Gathering together the students Whose abilities had not be recognized before, the Red Cross con- ducted a talent show March 4. The proceeds, of course, Went to the main oifices of this mercy organization.

.S?lfl,6!Ql'I,t Soana As usual it is the Student Council that gets order when confusion is at its height. September always brings the S.C. members the business of charting the lunch periods. That accomplished this year, Patri- cia Dyer, president, then counted the coin of the realm as she checked money from the second hand book store sale. V In November, the Student Council assisted the P.T.A. in the latter's money-making project of the year by selling one thousand tickets for the Sun- set Valley Barn Dance? Ahs,, and Ohs,' were heard coming from the lips of extremely happy seniors in the late fall. The S. C. executive board voted in a new passing schedule for assemblies. At last the upper classmen were as- sured their assigned seats. The junior high students had to make the best of it and look forward to the day when they could be in the same enviable position. Posters! That is the password for S. C. secrets. A special committee sees to it that all posters are proper- ly displayed, and that bulletin boards are kept in proper style. Another helpful project of this group is the school activity calendar, and this year it became a handy reference for more than one organization. In May the additional members were voted to the board to replace the retiring seniors. As the law- making organization of our high school, the Student Council executive board is a responsible unit of Murray. The S.C. group turned to a lighter side in May when it held its annual banquet. Here Mrs. Ruth Eddy, adviser, and the boar,d made merry while they turned their thoughts to next year by electing the 1947-48 olhcers.

Little bees have nothing on the Murcurie Staff on deadline day. With proverbial industry, they fan their way through copy, checking and re-checking. 6'We go to press tomorrow,', can be either a hymn of satisfaction, or a deeper tone of woe. Nary a drone can be found in this hive, for Miss Margaret Glenn, Queen Bee of the staff, has long since learned the technique of eliminating such lazy characters. The little reporter bees buzz in importantly with their quota of news, the page planners soar furiously here and there trying to fit their jig-saw puzzle of articles together, the art editor rushes in with last minute cuts, and, as the deadline hour draws near, the hum grows louder and more constant, and Ger- aldine Markley, editor, has the Murcurie off to the printer. Over the creative glamour there is a metalic click, as Miss Elsea Petersonis business staE brings in the golden coin which pays for the Murcurie. But, as with bees, there is no rest for the busy staff. They must start on the next month's issue almost as soon as they are congratulated for the excellence ,of the present one.
