CroSS (Council THE second year in high school proved even more successful than the first for the Junior Red Cross Council. Composed of one member popularly elected from each homeroom in high school, the council works hand-in-hand with the Red Cross in Ames. The first project of the year was the roll call, in which every mem- ber of high school pledged some contribution to the Junior Red Cross. One hundred per cent this year, the council topped their goal with a collection of over $.114. Before Christmas, the home- rooms packed Christmas boxes to be sent overseas by the Red Cross. These were sent to a locality in Belgium from which Ames High received several thank-you notes written in French. Some of the council members as- sisted at the tea in honor of Miss Ann (ioplerud, former teacher in Ames schools, who had just return- ed from overseas where she enter- tained the armed services. She presented a program in the audit- orium to open the Red Cross drive in Ames. The last project of the Junior Red Cross Council was a scrap- book, the idea of which was form- ed last year. The book contained information of the school, the com- munity, the state and the nation. Pictures of interest were included in this book. Plans were made to send it to the same locality in Bel- gium where the Christmas pack- age's were sent. Mrs. Elizabeth Dickinson spon- sored the council. Top Row: Wilson. E.
