Our Service Groups JR. RED CROSS Forty R. H. S..students interested in service are members of Junior Red Cross finance group. Devising ways and means of securing funds for worthy welfare proiects is the main purpose of the club. Under the guidance of Miss Edith Montecalvo, ad- viser, the girls this year undertook varied tasks to earn money. Fall and the first football game found them sell- ing school mittens. Previously, during warm weather, they had sponsored several ice cream sales which proved so popular with the students that the small en- terprise was operated daily after school. Tempting the students' palates further, candied apples were also sold. Deciding to aid the farmers and their own fin- ances, the organization volunteered to help harvest the fruit crops which were rotting due to the labor shortage. Attired in old clothing, the girls picked apples and grapes at Pippin Lake farms. At Thanksgiving the organization diminished its funds by buying magazine subscriptions for the infirm- ary. Christmas rolled around and members were busy appealing for toys, soap, hair ribbons, books, combs, wash clothes, puzzles, beads and any other small ar- ticles that would help the children of war-torn Europe realize that Christmas had come. After gathering, sort- ing, and mending was finished, the toys and other articles were packed in Red Cross boxes and sent. One of the Red Cross members received a letter from a little English girl, expressing her thanks for the box that had brought so much cheer. The hub-bub and excitement of the holidays passed and the financiers engaged in another activity. They mapped the city, gave each girl a section, and started a ticket-selling campaign for Arsenic and Old Lace , the N. F. L. play. Half of the play proceeds went to the N. F. L. and the other half to the Red Cross for yarn for servicemen's sweaters. They also donated S20 to Mrs. Montigney's office for charity. With warm weather here again, the Red Cross will handle the sale of ice cream daily every other week at 3:30. Officers of the group are: president, Carmella Ciancio, vice president, Jean Keefer, secretary, Mar- guerite Mazzola, treasurer, Beatrice Brick. The other Red Cross unit is the production group. Its members knit for servicemen. Beginners are taught to knit by Miss Montecalvo and advanced students. Al- though a small group, it has turned out many knitted articles. The Junior Red Cross has offered R. H. S. girls an opportunity to aid in the war effort, many have re- sponded. CINEMA CLUB During the year l25 movies were shown by the eight members of the cinema club club supervised by C. B. Bates as part of the visual education program. Members are Elwood Pittman, Lloyd Yingling, Wayne Bleadingheiser, Kenneth Campbell, Wilbur Putt, Jerry Hendee, Dick Rudd, Tom Crotser. George Bline- bery, now in the army, was also in the club the first semester. Page 23 THE HI-Y ' I The Hi-Y this year as in other years has promoted a great many proiects in rendering services to the school and in planning its own recreational activities. ln their efforts to lend a helping hand around the school, you may have seen Hi-Y boys cleaning out desks, inspecting lockers, watching street crossings at dismissal time, keeping the trophy case shining, and similar activities. Last fall they devoted a day of their time to aid in the great scrap drive. They were seen hauling around everything from locomotives to thimbles to help Uncle Sam. Besides this duty, the boys spent an after- noon in a driving rain completing the town's church survey. ln a lighter vein the boys have enioyed their fel- lowship in carrying out their recreational program. Meetings were held on Tuesdays and both business and pleasure were the topics of discussion. New members were inducted last fall to raise the total enrollment to 20 boys. I During the year the club has played basketball after meetings, held a weiner roast, driven to the Akron- Y for swimming, and also planned their annual picnic. Mr. Miller, counselor, has led discussions on the formation of a different set-up next year. Although nothing has been decided, next year may see the forma- tion of two separate clubs in the iunior and senior classes respectively. The members of the Hy-Y club are: LaVern Mowen, president, Ed Graber, vice-president, Jack Bower, secre tary, and Bob Sivon, treasurer, Ner Wertenberger, Nor- man Northcott, Joe Brode, Paul Milbee, Bud Minnich, Eric Casson, Bob Damicone, Robert Falcone, Leonard Griffin, Dick Pfeil, Leo Held, Ralph Byers, Kenny White, Jerry Long, Ed Gaski, and George Stokes. GIRL RESERVES Last September l20 sophomores, iuniors and sen- iors in the Girl Reserves began making plans for the year's activities. Some were new members and some were old. Marie Ziegler presided throughout the year as president, Kathryn Gray, vice-president, Pat Miller, secretary and Barbara Enders, treasurer. Miss West- lake was adviser. The Reserves' first program was an outdoor func- tion. A Big-Little-Sister party for the sophomores wel- comed them into the organization. A candlelight serv- ice around a campfire was held at this time. The annual spaghetti supper was held December IO. Each Girl Reserve volunteerd for different com- mittees. Approximately 200 people were served in the cafeterla. Aiding in the war effort, the Girl Reserves deliv- ered folders throughout the city advertising the scrap drive. They also helped farmers by husking corn and picking fruit. Another proiect was the helping hand given to the church census takers. ln March, the meetings were devoted to group singing, games, and n1iscellaneous programs. A display in the hall trophy case showed some of the girls' pet hobbies. Collections of all sorts were shown. In May, the girls held a mother-daughter meeting with a special program as a surprise.

Congress Founded at Ravenna high school by Miss Anna McClean, the student council has enioyed nine years of active service. Organized to handle universal school problems, the council has undertaken many worthwhile proiects. Among these have been clean-up campaigns, care of special merit bulletin board, maintenance of informa- tion desk, aiding in reserving seats for plays, the writ- ing and the sending of Christmas cards to boys in ser- ice, the sale of war stamps, and the compiling of the school's roll of honor. Last year the council entertained other student council members from the N. E. O. T. A. schools at a conference. With the exchange of problems and solu- tions, there was developed a better knowledge of stud- ent and school government.

The council is guided by Miss Anna McClean, faculty adviser. Officers of this organization are .lack Bower, president, Jim Luli, vice president, Evelyn Long, secretary, and Bob Miller, treasurer.
