If you ever did anything to raise money you will have a rough idea of what I went through. I was pondering when the dawn came in, and I was going to sell Easter eggs. I purchased Easter eggs wholesale and set forth into the world with Easter eggs under my arm and a homemade Red Cross box in my hand. I rang a door- bell and a man with something like a face tat least I think it was his face; it was tooliigh to be his feetl answered. I asked with a smile, Sir, will you please buy some penny Easter eggs, all the money goes to the Red Cross. Huhl was his answer. I repeated. ItWhat for? he asked. For the Red Cross, Red Cross, I answered. He began telling me how to go about it. I accepted his advice and I sold three boxes. That just goes to show you, you canit judge a person by his face. I never felt so good and had so much fun doing anything. ANNA GERACE, 8B1.

RED 03035 The Red Cross Club SBl-who collected $41.00 for the Red Cross War Fund Since September the girls of the clothing classes have been busily working for the Red Cross. Gar- ments to keep some little girl warm and as happy as one can be when war is with us, have been assembled and saved. This past term's work was more difficult than usual be- cause of the winter materials. Seams to be pressed, pleats to be steamed and linings to be carefully placed-e all of which means time and effort. But Vare is proud to report that the large order was finished and returned to the Red Cross Headquarters in January. Here is a list of the garments made since the opening of school: N o.

Our school received a very nice letter from the Red Cross thank- ing us for our efforts and we really should feel very proud of Vare's contributions to defense.

CLUB LIFE ALL SPORTS CLUB Want to have some fun? Then join the club sponsored by Miss Stockman. What's its name? The All Sports Club, featuring certain rinks for particular kinds of sports. I was lucky enough to he taken along when this club went roller skating at the Crystal Palace Roller Skating Rink. Our school is allowed in at half price and the manager was very kind to us and tried to make our visit lots of fun. The music was furnished by the organist on recordings. The rink is a square long, with hardwood floors and cheerful walls painted in ivory, pink, and black. Candy and refreshments can be bought at the lower end of the rink where there is also a powder room. Skates can be secured free if you dontt bring your own. This particular Tuesday tTuesday is the day the club takes these tripsl Miss Whitels Variety Club also came along. This made a large crowd and much more fun since we were the only ones in the place that after- noon. However, Cyrstal Palace is a name not only known to our school but also to famous roller skating Cham- pions and celebrities. Speaking of celebrities, we had a few of our own: Michel Gable, a member of the Student Council, Rita Giacchini, a candidate for the 9B graduating president, the Venturo brothers of our school orchestra, Gladys Becker, who is up for May Queen, not to mention myself, a PILOT reporter. I could go on telling you almost everything that happened: How Frank Farsaci fell 10 times, how Anita Checkio tried to skate back- wards, and so many other things my arm would he numb. But there is one thing I'd like to say to you children who are staying at Vare. If you dontt take a hint and try to join Miss Stockman's All Sports Club you're mighty foolish. P. S. Dontt forget, however, Vare has a great many other swell Clubs. ANGELINA PILLA, 9B2, SER VICE CL UB The purpose of the Service Club is to raise money and make blankets for the American Red Cross. The boys in the club are busy making name pins. These pins ere carved from balsam wood. Names are spelled out with noodles and glued on the surface. The pins are sold for five cents each. The money which is raised from the sale of the name pins is used to buy wool for trimming the afghans, and knitting a red cross which is placed in the center. The wool for the other ninety blocks which are needed to make the blanket is donated by pupils in various classes. The girls in the Service Club and some of the girls in 732 are knitting these blocks. They expect to finish the blanket by the week after Easter. The members of the Service Club want to thank all the Children who have donated wool and bought pins thus making it possible for the Vare Junior High to do its share in the present emergency.
