From our music room on the first floor burst out the strains of Indian Love Call and im- mediately you know that Miss Hyde's music class is in full swing. The whole school echoes with music that puts the entire enrollment of jones into a happy mood. We Ionesites really take to music. Every year the school puts on a big musical show which is held at one ot the larger schools in the city. This year our production was put on at Schurz High School on May 18. As usual, with the cooperation ot the students and faculty, The Beal Thing was a tremendous success. Marlene Lester and Rosalie Hallo did a teritfic job as the Old Grey Mare. By the way, the mare was the handiwork of our own Iackie johnson who worked for hours, trying to achieve just the right touch. 4255 ir ir 'A' if Marguerite Shaw stopped the show with her rendition of The Lullaby of Broadway, and the long, tireless hours ot rehearsal put in by Dorothea Witt, Carmen Tangaline, Valda Sorce, Shirley Summers, Connie Baron, Gloria Babcock, Barbara johnson, Arlene Gorny, Phyl- lis Curry, Shirley Bruck, and Mary Ann Poc- zatek were not in vain either, for their April ShoWers number was one OI the most out- standing ot the show. It's easy to see that, with an atmosphere as happy and content as we have here at Iones, we just can't go wrong. When the students enjoy their work, hall of the battle is won, and the folks here do enjoy their work. Gosh, there goes the bell. The period is over and here come the kids now. Look, every- one is smiling -- and SINGING. FREEDOM A

JUNIOR RED CROSS One of the most active organizations in our nation today is the funior Bed Cross. Plans for this movement were drawn up by President MacCraken of Vassar College, and were adopted by the War Council, which put them into effect in September, l9l7. The organization is shared by the young people of America who voluntarily contribute their services to those in need of assistance. Some of the main activities include: entertain- ments that are staged in childrens hospitals and in old peoples homes, distributions of flowers, food, and toys to the sick in both private and public institutions, various pro- jects undertaken to improve school grounds, promotion of fire and accident prevention, and raising money for dental clinics and summer camps for the underprivileged. fn doing what we can to help this worthy organization, we students at Tones Commercial High School have made one hundred and twentyffive stuffed animals and have also con- tributed twenty books to those on the Chapters Home Service list and to children in some or- phanage. 428V fn view of the excellent work the students have done on these lovely toys, the Board of the Chicago Child Care Society sent a thank- you letter showing its appreciation of this service. Mrs. Gillen and members of her board are planning their activities for this spring, a part of which will be the voluntary performance of office work and typing for the main Bed Cross office. We all know what an important part the Iunior Bed Cross is playing in our lives today, BUT, we must not forget those who played an important part in the founding of the Bed Cross W- such brilliant persons as Henri Dunant, the Swiss financier who organized the Bed Cross in Geneva, Switzerland, Henry P. Davison, Chairman of the American Bed Cross War Council, who concluded that an effort should be made to bring the advantages of the Bed Cross services to the world in time of peace as well as war, and then, one of the greatest wo- men of all times, Clara Barton. The officers of our funior Bed Cross Club, in the fall semester, were as follows, Marilyn Kentish, president, Vangie Heron, vicefpresi- dent, Ioan Graf, secretary, and Ruth Strauss, treasurer. Thank you, girls, for a job well done, for the time you served.
