.X4l'l0L6ll'l You in the bcick row, move to the right just ci LITTLE bit. There, thc1t's right! These ore the tomilior words heord by dll of us students when pictures for the T953 ANOKAN, edited by Eloise Petersen ond Dick Ford ond supervised by Mr. Johnson, were token. The ntciny hours ol herd work put into this yeor's on- nucil begun wcxy lost summer ond followed through until lvlcirch when the lost copy wos sent into the pub- lishers. Since the cost ot publishing o yeorbook os hne cis Anokc1's is so great, the seniors pledged S6 dues to help pcty tor it. They cilso sold refreshments ot the tootbctll cmd bctsketboll gomes, No source ot in- conie was considered too insignificant to help meet publicotion costs. Lowell Hummer ond Lois Reisberg supervised this most diflhcult port ot the book. The octuol ossembling ot pictures ond copy wcis supervised by the editors who had ct committee under them responsible tor sections of the book. l-lordly ci senior but did not give some time, eltort, or talent to moke this yeor's book worthy ot its predecessors. ll this book truly mirrors the school life in Anoko, then the senior closs feels its money ond etllorts were well spent.

Every year The Junior Red Cross has a special protect. This year it was the filling of a chest ot school supplies tor a needy European school. The annual enrollment drive was held in February to raise the money to till the chest. Then, under The very able direction ot Miss Melby, a box was made and filled with The various articles required. They all came under the general headings ot: School and l-lealth Supplies, Recreation Equip- ment, Musical Instruments such as harmonicas, First Aid Kits, and Books. Altogether the chest and its contents cost about STOO. The articles which were sent had to be new and the quality of the contents was more im- portant than the quantity. The chest was then sent to Washington and tram there delivered to the school that needed it most. Then everyone waited anxiously to see it the school receiving it would in any way acknowledge the gift. Before school started, Junior Red Cross members, Ann Alt, Gerry Vetch, and Stuart Laird attended the Junior Red Cross Camp. They learned a great deal and enioyed it very much. Although The organization accomplished many things during the past year, the most outstanding event was their annual project at the State Hospital. At Christmas and on ValenTine's Day, they decorated the hos- pital Tor the annual parties. l-lere's hoping that next year and for a long time to come they do the same. This year the Junior Red Cross was very ably led by President, Jack Crawford, Vice-President, Stuart Laird, Secretary, Gerry Vetsch, and Treasurer, Ann Alt. ff'f'Y rwfvvmk W5 X- N lfU'lLOI' KPOZM 9' I E 1 ,yi N ia -1 J is if Y S yl I if as ' 6 3. ,WVJJJ K K l l l Page twenty-thre
