GOUVERNEUR IN HOLLAND The schools in Gouverneur have just completed a drive for canned food and used clothing. These articles have been shipped to the “Save the Children Federation Workshop,” New York City, from which they will be sent overseas to Holland. This Federation has sent out a call for the aid of schools in foreign lands. Their plan is that a school be adopted for a year. The cost of this project is one hundred and fifty dollars, which will maintain a school in the bare essentials. To that the sponsor may add contributions at any time. Correspondence is also encouraged. G. H. S. was assigned an advanced Elementary School of 121 girls at Becklaan, 184 S Gra- venhage, Holland, and given a code number of H. S. 251. Gouverneur hopes thus to sponsor better international relations and also do our bit toward world peace. ART CONTEST Gouverneur High School contributed four pictures to the contest sponsored by the Federation of Women’s Clubs. Three of these were made by Carol Walts. The subjects were original and the mediums used were water color and soft chalks or pastels. Ruth Peck also contributed an original pastel. Both girls did very clever work and we feel that our school was well represented. All pic- tures in the contest will be judged at the spring meeting of the Federation of Women’s Clubs, at which time a prize of ten dollars will be awarded to the picture considered the best. We also understand that when our pictures are returned they are to be judged by a com- mittee chosen by all local women’s clubs. These clubs will then decide upon a prize to be given the one placed first. It is understood that this local contest is to become an annual affair, so all students who are interested in competing should indicate their wishes early next year. More details will be forth- coming then. Page Twenty-One
