The other members are: Elvin Fematt, joseph Williains, Helen Ogborn, Leigh Moritz, Mary Thomas, Elsie Smith, and Manuel Topete. , The members of this squad may easily be distinguished from the other officers, such as pilots and commanders, by their red caps and the badges which they wear when on duty. The duty of each member is to go to his assigned post, which is usually at a crossing or at a corner, and see that the students use the pedestrian zones. They are always on duty at the beginning of school, at lunch time, and at the close of school. The purpose of this safety squad is to strive to prevent accidents which may occur in the streets, when the students are crosing, or in the yard. WN'

THE THRIFT ORGANIZATION The Thrift Organization of Richard Henry Dana is sponsored by Mrs. Woodard, seventh grade: Mr. Wetzel, eighth grade: and Mrs. Miller, ninth grade. All the thrift captains, for better efficiency, are chosen from one room, Mrs. Miller's A7 homeroom. The thrift captains are: Virginia Bulpitt, Dorothy Fisher, Thora Damuth, Bessie Shultz, Margurite Lanning, Philip Ramsdale, Helen Brodie, Stephen Stanbuk, Keith Riddle, Howard Winter, Oscar Gnsat, Robert Miller, Woodrow Miller, Agnes Beckman, Iames Thompson, Eugene Turgeson, Onis Phillips, Louise Knotts, Elmer Nigg, Virginia Doak, Dorothy Beckley and Charles Winters. Each week they visit the different homerooms. This semester they have been giving monologs and singing thrift songs as well as securing statistics and giving talks. The record of the thrift work is kept by points. It is worked out in a very novel and interesting manner. The thermometer idea is used. Each new account causes the temperature to climb one point. The attendance is also checked in the homerooms, The home- rooms having the highest number of points for thrift and attendance is awarded a thrift banner to hang in the homeroom for one month. Under the thrift captains are the thrift committemen, one in each homeroom, who have charge of the thrift work in one room. Dana has shown a steady increase in school savings accounts. This semester there are approximately fifty more saving accounts than there were last year.
