unior High Sponsors Mn. RAYMOND Wonocx Miss MARYETTA WATHEY Miss ADA MAE GRIFFITH MR. WILLIAM ZAHNISER The Junior Red Cross Program Once again the Iunior High llomeroom Activities consisted of a continuation ot' the Iunior Red Cross Program. To have a more complete understanding of what activities could be carried on by the junior group, Dr. Samuel Everett, chairman of the Southeastern Iunior Red Cross, spoke to the faculty sponsors, officers, and representatives from each of the four junior high homerooms. Motivated by this talk, the juniors plunged into numerous projects which included the making ofafghansg preparing of gift boxes, including health equip- ment, such as tooth brushes, tooth paste, wash clothes, soap, etc.g constructing of wooden toys, such as dart boards and checkerboardsg the stuffing of animals and dolls, the making of place mats for tra s, nut cups, and attractive napkins-are for tllie Iunior Red Cross which sent the articles to children overseas or to veterans' hospitals. When the projects were completed in early spring, the seventh grade homerooms began the study of International Relations through a discussion of different countries for which Red Cross films were used to motivate the thinking of the group. While this group was in the midst of interna- tional understanding, the eighth grade was envolved in discussions on the different courses of study ottered in the high school curriculum and the goal to which each of these led, followed by private interviews with Miss Griffith for those who needed special help in reaching a decision. The auditorium period once a month was used for student tal-ent shows, ranging from quiz programs to music renditions. The dancing and game period each month provided the group with practice in the skills which play such a large part later on in the social life of a high school student. juniors make toys and dress dolls for Ir.
