The Distribution of Biology Badges. The day arrived when the badges were to be distributed to the girls by Miss 3lcCullagh. The girls in RCG, RDG and QBG who had worked on the projects for the Children's Fair. were called to the platform to receive the honor. The girls in RCG and QAG received white badges representing the prize won by their entry. The girls in RUG and QBG received red ones. I am sure Miss McCullagh was proud to pin the badges on girls who had worked so hard so that our school would win. The Children's Fair. This exhibition, which was held at the Museum of Natural History, December 4th to December 9th, was a great event for school children. The purpose of this exhibit was to have the various science students and club members show their knowledge and interest in nature. Some pupils made booklets on the works of great biologists. Others demonstrated health in the home, the care of animals, the growth of plants, biologic principles, etc. Children of the lower grades also par- ticipated in the Fair by drawing pictures of various animals. XVe had two entries in the Junior High School Section, o11e under Biological Prin- ciples, and one under Great Biologists. On'the whole there was a Hne collection, visited by thousands of school children, their parents and teachers. Many prizes were awarded I am proud to say that Corlears was one uf the many winners. APPEAL The Biology Room is an interesting place, with its colored charts, models and living specimens. But Spring is approaching when there are so many beautiful things in nature. XYill you not bring us something from your many hikes, your visits to the country and seashore? XVe want more insects, amphibia, flowers, and plants. Vkfe shall be glad to have gifts of posters representing hygiene or commercial representation of natural products, HARY E BING Tm Ie of B. Z0 i . , cz r zo gy. 4

THE OPEN CLASS The poem, Service taken from the Red Cross Magazine that we placed on page one, has been adopted as our class poem for open air classes. XYe try to live up to its meaning by serving cereal and cocoa to about sixty under- nourished girls from all parts of the school. Nile serve lunches of soup, salads, bread and butter, and milk to twenty-five others, and give first-aid to anyone that comes to us for help. ' HELEN NVEINBERG, SAA6-OA The G. O. of the C. J. H. S. is of considerable value to the school. Meetings are held regularly by the delegates from each class. At these meetings various suggestions for the benefit of the pupils are brought up and discussed. The membership dues are twenty-live cents and every cent is given back to the pupils in some way. The G. O. provides books for the library, records for the music department, plates for the drawing departments, moving picture ma- chines, stereopticans and most important of all, scholarships for those girls who are in need of help and worthy of it. This year the calls for help have been so many that we are trying to supplement our funds by selling cakes and candy. The G. O. sells gymnasium costumes but no profit is made on them. They are sold for cost. Through the G. O. you enjoy comforts that you otherwise would not have. Do not be wasteful of the paper towels you find in the lavatories. It is your money that supplies this comfort and if you are economical your money will buy other comforts too. Members of the G. O. visit the wash rooms and check up for cleanliness. Help them. Do not permit these rooms to be untidy and do not be wasteful in using the liquid soap and paper towels that are provided for your comfort. Knowing all your twenty-five cents does for you, you can't help being proud of belonging to the G. O. of your school. Save your pennies now, so you will have your dues on the very first day you enter your new class. Pay your dues, get your 1932 button and renew your membership with C. G. O. Visit to the Aquarium. In October, Class RDG, under the super- vision of our biology teacher visited the Aquarium in Battery Park. Our attention was first called to the various tanks, containing aquatic animals. These specimens are very peculiar since, although not fish, they live in Water. VVe acquired much knowledge pertaining to the structure and en- vironment of each specie. We were attracted by the blue parrot ish, which we thought the most beautiful. Quite a contrast to this was the bony gar, which name is quite appropriate. This trip proved most inter- esting and instructive, ROSE TWERSKY, RDG The Senior Biology Club. One of the most interesting days in the week to R. D. G. is Thursday, the day that the Biology Club meets. We have seen the Beaver at Work, The Making of Rayon, Killing the Killer, On a Farm in Australia, and other various interesting films portraying life in the animal and plant world.

A STREET ON THE EAST SIDE Noise! Noise! Noise! People going here and there. Rushing, pushing and moving along as best they can against the restless mobs coming from work. The deafening roar of a loud speaker from a radio store and the yelling and shouting of the pushcart peddlers add to the noise and confusion. From the group of happy little children can be heard the squeals of delight as they run to hear the organ grinder and to see his monkey. laughing, talking, shouting, singing-all of this keeps up the steady chatter of talk. Such is the scene found on this street in the evening. VVhat a different aspect one beholds on this street in the morning. In place of noise and chatter, all is peaceful and tranquil. One would hardly recognize it as the same street. The sun pours down its warm rays from a cloudless and serene sky upon the peaceful neighborhood. As you glance about, you see women with baby carriages putting their children to sleep. Looking up at the tall tenement houses, the bobbing heads of gossiping women can be seen as they whisper from window to window. All is calm and serene. The happy East Side is one of the most interesting places to visit. EVELVN MEYERSON, A3 A SUBWAY SCEN E Last Saturday I decided to take my little sister Ruth to Macy's Toyland. XYe started out bright and early and took a train to the city. Ry chance, Ruth sat near a policeman. For all her three years of age, Ruth was an unusually friendly child and was soon in deep conversation with the strong arm of the law. XYhen we reached Union Square, I warned Ruth that we would soon have to get off. All right, she said, but I have to kiss 'the policeman first. No sooner said than done. she kissed him, much to his dismay and to the amusement of the passengers in the train. Now, she said, with a twinkle in her dark eyes, 'Kyou kiss him too. I, why I-I, I spluttered and stammered, feeling my face Hush with embar- rassment. Ruth seemed to take an impish delight at mv confusion and insisted all the more. My heart sank for I knew that if she didn't get her way she would create a rumpus and I desired that less than anything in the world. XVhat was I to do? Vtfas there no way out of it? I looked around wildly. XVe would arrive at our destination in a few minutes. I glanced at Ruth's determined little face and I knew there was no hope for me. Come on, urged Ruth, tugging at my arm. I was terror-stricken. All the people in the train seemed to be looking at me expectantly. The train rocked crazily! I was growing dizzy. I closed my eyes. Ruthls voice seemed to come from afar. Now for the ordeal! My heart ham- mered! XVhat would the people in the train think of me? And the policeman? He would never understand how spoiled Ruth was. I opened my eyes and- why I was in my own room in bed.
