JUNIOR RED CROSS Among the many clubs at lones is the lunior Red Cross, a very active organization, under the capable direction of Mrs Gillen. Plans were made at the beginning of the Sepf tember-lanuary l949-i950 semester to make stuffed dolls and scrapbooks for the small children in the hospitals through- out the city. The girls and boys Worked together to complete these articles by Christmas. lt took quite a bit of Work, but when everything was finished we felt it was worth all the time and effort Because of our unity and our combined co-operation we are doing as much and even more than some of the larger schools. The only pay we receive for our efforts is the personal sat- isfaction that comes from being able to give aid to the others who are less fortunate than ourselves, The lunior Red Cross is an important branch of the regular Red Cross organization and the lonesites show that they real- ize this by their all-'round support. Every student at Iones is welcome to join this wonderful club. The officers of our Red Cross Club are: Donna Fisher, pres- identg lacaueline La Fave, vice presidentg llse Burkhardt, secre taryg and Zenia Bienkowski, treasurer, Seated: Alcala, Wosczynski. Kneeling: Betley, Wulf, I.aFc1ve. Standing: Rickert, Shinners, Grenz. Arkin, Bienkowskl. Petraifis, Henk, Fisher.

FIRE MARSHALS ey are - f ' the lones Fire Marshals but strictly oft duty and all lined up for a pic ture in Grant Park. When they are on duty the boys carry a serious responsibility since the safe evacuation of everyone in the school building would liter- ally be up to them, under the direction of their sponsor, Mr. Leach, should a fire or any sim ilar emergency make such a move neces- sary. ln practice fire drills, led by Captain foe Zapatka, they have frequently displayed their ability to assume authorit , y and to work quickly and efficiently. Our lones fire eate - rs have their lighter side, too, and who is to say they don't like to gripe about various items as the fo will show: RICHARD islikes being roused from his third period siesta.
