UWB S6I'V6l,, 0 By Laurence Thouin We should all know how well this motto of the Junior Red Cross was carried out this year by our Hibbing organization. The Rally Day program was unusual for the inspiring ad- dress of Miss Lulu Askridge, Junior Red Cross representative from the Midwestern Branch Headquarters at St. Louis. Our Junior Red Cross had the distinction of making the Christmas greeting card to be sent to the National Headquarters of fifty foreign countries in which there are Junior Red Cross organizations. The art classes de- signed entertaining menu cards which were sent to the crew of the U. S. S. California for their Christmas dinner, and made Christmas cards to send to fifty-nine schools with which the Hibbing Juniors carry on correspondence. The practice of remembering at Christmas time Hibbing people in sanatoriums and or- phanages with small gifts and well wishes was continued as in past years. Other outside act- ivities undertaken by our orangization were the sending of a portfolio to the exhibition of the Eastern Area of the United States, and an exhibit of beautiful portfolios and dolls in Mountain Iron. Hibbing Juniors filled forty Christmas bas- kets for unfortunate families. The council appropriated twenty-five dollars to purchase milk for under-nourished school children in Hibbing, and further aided local relief by vot- ing fifty dollars for caps, mittens, and other clothing for the needy. Funds were increased by the ticket sale to the charming operetta, Snow White,,, presented by the oragnization. Much of the success of the 1934-1935 council was due to the leadership of John DiMarchi, president and Junior representative at the American Red Cross Conference held April 8-11 in Washington.

Honor Winners 0 By Marty Mlzrplly What a cunning doll! That's my suck- er, not yours! Let's play somethingln These and other similar exclamations which issued one evening from that edifice known as the YH are enough to arouse anyone's curiosity. Let us see what is going on, it sounds inter- esting. But what is this? Why are these chil- dren out at this time of night? And then we discovered our mistake, for in spite of dolls and suckers, short skirts and anklets, we re- cognized the members of the Dramulit club. That affair known as the Kid Partyn was in full sway. Oh, yes, of course the girls in the Dramulit are interested in drama, music, lir- erature, and scholarship, fall the members are on the honor rolllj but not to the exclusion of everything else, and they are willing to forget their scholarly dignity anytime for an evening of fun. One of their chief aims, how- ever, is to encourage scholarship among junior and senior girls. New members are welcome. Some of the other events of the year were a Christmas party, a spring party, and of course, the Gingham Ball. In December, a delightful Ifourih row: A. Zaic, A. Gartner, G. Mandy, H. liiitnln, II.

The entertainment consisted of poems and stories told by various members and ended with the singing of carols by the group. In April came the big event of the year, the Gingham Ball. The Dramulit just wouldn't be the Dramulit without a Gingham Ball and this one lived up to all the traditions. After months of planning and weeks of hard work by enthusiastic committees and the advisers, the long waited for night arrived. The quaint old fashioned garden with its picturesque old well and oaken bucket, the dainty white dais- ies and ferns growing in the shady nooks, and the false ceiling of pale greens and yellows made a unique but lovely background for the maidens in their gay, sport dresses. Confetti and candy kisses, too, made everyone say that it was heaps of fun . The officers were: Lucille Mulford, presi- dent, Vienna Aho, vice-president, Mary Mur- phy, secretaryg and Dorothy Howen treas- urerg Miss Wood and Miss Towler, advisers.

Girls . . ,lust Girls! By Esther Monson Girls' Ifllgllt' Prr'.viJr'11f All together now! In my sweet little Alice bluegowniv. Two hundred girlish voices were raised in attempted harmony at the Girls' League banquet. After the group singing, the girls sat down at the colorfully decorated tables and were served a delicious Thanksgiv- ing dinner-minus the traditional turkey. A program was held consisting of several musical selections, readings, and an amusing play, Creatures of Impulse , which caused a great degree of merriment. Alice Mae Nordstrom was general chairman of the banquet. Weren't forty-six little mothers proud of the beautifully dressed dolls that were pre- sented to them as Christmas gifts from the Girls' League? This dressing of dolls has be- come an annual affair. Money for the pur- chasing of the dolls was raised by means of candy sales which were held several times a Standing: L. Cavalier, l. tlslilf HAZEL MAHOOD l'ricndsl1ip c.l1LllI'I11Llll week. Marie McAllister acted as chief of the candy sellers and Helen Hamre headed the committee of doll dresser uppersn. Hazel Mahood, chairman of the Friendship Commit- tee, sent flowers or plants to members who were ill to cheer them on to recovery. An- other Mothers' Tea was held this spring. Teas of this kind are a means of better acquainting the mothers and school girls. A large delegation of girls attended the High School Girls, Range Conference. The girls formed many new friendships and their interest in Girls' League activities was greatly stimulated. Upon entering high school all girls are automatically made League members. This year's officers included: Esther Monson, pres- identg Marie Sullivan, secretary, and Cather- ine Cavalier, treasurer. Miss MacAllister acted as adviser.
