6 A The drive for jelly, which was divided between the Boyle Center and the Italian Day Nursery at 10th and Carr, brought one hundred twenty-five glasses of jelly and over five gallons of jam, which was very much appreciated by the children of the nurseries. Another book drive to supply the 10th and Carr Nursery's library is now being held. The members of the club are very much interested in what we are doing, and we all hope that the work we have helped to carry on for a little while, will not perish from junior High. Lenore Wilson, Secretary of the Social Service Club. The Cadet Club F you are looking for a real good time in your club period, join 9 the cadet club. We have 31 members this year and oh boy, we A have semen pep. Last year they had a good many more in the clL. i, but this year we have just about enough, although we T' ' heartily welcome new members. At the second meeting of the club we elected officers as follows: Captain .............. Hugh White Sergeant .... ..... N evins Poston lst Lieutenant .... William Walker Secretary ........ James Sturtevant 2nd Lieutenant , . . .Lawrence Davis Treasurer ......... Harold Groves Captain White is captain, and he certainly can drill. We all hope to be able to drill as well as he and the lieutenants some day. We like our other oh'-icers very much and do not in the least regret our choice. We spend our time in many activities interesting to all of us. Most of our time is spent in drill on the campus. We certainly have a splendid time. We have learned many of the preliminary commands known to every good cadet and soldier. We have learned among others, the following commands: About Face, Right and Left Face, Right Dress, Attention, Squads Right and Left, etc. Another interesting thing is the program, presented to us once each month by the members of the program committee. They are as follows: David Black, Chm.g Sidney Franzel, Edgar Grollneck, Bennie Roman. They usually arrange quite an interesting program for us. I hear that this week they are going to present two plays, one of them entitled Loy- alty and the other Beyond Discipline. In the Hrst, written by Franzel, the disloyalty of one man, Lieutenant Davis, is shown, while the loyalty of a private is made to contrast with it. ' James Sturtevant, Secretary. 100 5 if

Emulex The Social Service Club 'ag' - HE Social Service Club started in September with much enthu- .ty f . a siasm and twenty members. We cut out papendolls, and made ,Q scrap books for the hospitals until Thanksgiving, when the Thanksgiving offering taken yearly for the benefit of several in- stitutions of charity in the city, the Bethesda Home, the Little Sisters of the Poor, and the Jewish Alliance, were taken charge of by us. The response of Junior was more than we dared to hope, and many poor people were given something to be thankful for on that day. A drive for books for the Boyle Memorial Center's library was made, and two hundred seventy-Five books were collected. At Christmas time two hundred seventeen stockings of candy, oranges, nuts and toys were Filled by the Social Service Club and other friends of Junior High, and made many children happy. They were sent to the Free Clinic Ward at Barnes Hospital and the Christian Orphans' Home. When the club was reorganized in january, sixty girls enrolled. As this made the membership too large for one sponsor, Miss Thias kindly consented to help us. We adopted little Fanny Bommarito, a child who attends the Boyle Day Nursery, and four dresses, two pairs of bloomers, two hair ribbons, a pair of socks, and two pairs of stockings have been given to her by several members of the club.
