RED CROSS Lane has always had an active chapter in the American Red Cross. Every Lane student is con¬ sidered a member, because part of the division budget money goes into the school’s yearly do¬ nation to the organization. The peace time work of the Red Cross is well-known to all. It gives aid to people left homeless and destitute by floods and other disasters, as well as combating disease and other menaces of poverty-stricken areas of the world. The war has put a tremen¬ dous burden on this organization and when the war broke out Lane thought it should do more for the Red Cross. In February of 1942, only two months after the United States had entered the War, the Lane Red Cross was organized. Under the super¬ vision of teachers qualified by thorough Red Cross training the Lane unit has done things of which the school can be justly proud. Work¬ ing during their study periods the Red Cross members have rolled over 100,000 bandages. Every Tuesday evening the faculty does its share and also rolls bandages. Mr. Heinzelman and his shop students designed and built an ingenious device for tying bandages which is now recog¬ nized and accepted by the National Red Cross The Lane unit has put on various book drives which have netted over 25,000 books for the boys in service. Much is being done to help with the rehabilitation of war veterans by the unit. The Vaughn Hospital is being outfitted with ma¬ terial collected and bought by Laneites. The veterans’ lives are cheered by donations and gifts in the form of presents, novelties, Christ¬ mas trees, and many other articles. Lane students have also donated enough mo¬ ney to purchase four ambulances for the United States. This gesture has brought to Lane the distinction of being the first school in the coun¬ try to present such a large gift to our govern¬ ment. That gift is another example of Lane’s activity in the war. Miss Casey, who has charge of the bandage Oiling, and Miss Mautz, who has charge of the war service, together with all the teachers who assist them should be commended for the mar¬ velous job they are doing. The Lane Red Cross unit is a prime example of Lane’s diligence in the war effort, and its record will never be for¬ gotten. Page one hundred-ten
