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.

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.

Hear ye! Hear ye! A proclamation to all young men of good character and fine physiquef, The na- tional Young Menls Christian Associationis announce- ment that it was going to open a branch in the high school was met by immediate approval. As a result, some twenty-three young men at Murray have an- swered this call.

Page Twenty-two Already fifteen clubs in St. Paul have formed leagues for friendly games of basketball, swimming, and all the other sports that boys enjoy. Murray now has only a basketball league, but the club members have been clamoring for a chance to show their skill in other sports as well. The Murray club does not conHne itself to gallop- ing around basketball courts in shorts, however. They proved February 14 that as a social group they were second to none. Sponsoring the Valentine's Day dance, the boys proved themselves excellent hosts, and guests were sorry when the orchestra called it a night. The fact is proudly pointed out that the Hi-Y is not only a national organization, but international as well. '- Mr. Henry Soderberg, who spoke before an as- sembly here, declared that were it not for the Hi-Y and other like organizations, many soldiers cap- tured by the Nazis would have suffered greatly. The YMCA furnished amusements, food, clothing, and communication facilities. As their pledge states, they create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, better standards of Christian living.
