Cease your wondering! That M stands for 1 'A monitor , and those chairs were set aside for those patient and dependable students who watched over the halls . . . Monomen. A few of the tasks these students performed were regulating hall lights, directing visitors through the building, and keeping the halls free from wanderers and noise. Whatever time was left was their own, and they could spend it studying if they wished. One of these guardians of the halls was selected by the Dean of Girls, Miss Winifred Ledger, to be the traveling monitor. This student saw to it that the other monitors were at their assigned posts at all times. All these people belong to a loosely-knit organization known as Mono Club. Leading the large Mono stali for the first semester was Roger Keene, president, Sandra Moore, vice-pres- identg Mary Gillman, secretary, and Tom Karahalios, treasurer. Co-advisers for the year were Miss Wini- fred Ledger and Mr. William Aleks. Monitor, LaVerne Christofferson, checks yellow admit of Wanderers Judy Mintz and Janice Rudin. 14

Music, the international language, was used by the American junior Red Cross Councils this year as a way to communicate with and better understand the other countries of the world and their customs. Under the International Music Program, the Council sent records of the musical groups at liast High to foreign schools and in return received records from these countries. The records were made in school and sent to Wzlsli- ington where they were stored. Wlleil a request came in for a particular type of record, or one of a special song or from a certain school, it was sent from Wfashington to the school which made the request. Council members helped the local blood program by keeping records and charts of the people giving blood and by working in the Canteen where food was prepared for the donors and workers. School supplies, playthings, and such items as wash- cloths and soap went to till the gift chest sent to an overseas school. The gift chest sent last year went to a school in Indonesia. Homeroom representatives enrolled the new members of the junior Red Cross by getting their contributions in their homerooms. Members for the Council are chosen by the home- rooms and meet during the year.
