Junior Red Cross Focuses Attention o American Junior Red Cross workers at Holy Angels, appropriately called Eager Beavers, manifested a zealous spirit throughout the school year by working to carry out their motto, Service for 0thers. A very special proiect initiated this year was the adoption of Kathy Rolland as an honorary A.H.A. student. Kathy was extended a generous invitation to all school activities such as Glee Club concerts, talent show, and the senior class plays. Other proiects during the good-will campaign in- cluded distribution of favors and Christmas gift boxes to local hospitals and visits to the home for incurables and orphanages. Material rewards for the workers may be few, but personal satisfaction makes all the effort worthwhile. Red Cross president, Carol Kilday, holds the bountiful Thanksgiving basket of fruit to be presented to Kathy Rolland, Eager Beavers JoAnn Lagattuta, Judy Grau, Madeline Meyer, Janet Roquervert, Mary Louise Glynn, Darlene Lala, Rosalie Handayan, Cheryl Graham, Catherine Robert, Louise Arnoult, and Lynne Gordon fill Christmas stockings which will brighten the Holy Season for many of the aged to which they will soon be delivered. 44
