Jzmfbr Red Cross C'ouncf7 JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL President - - - John Altstetter Vice President - - Michael Davidian Secretary - Kathleen Niemeyer Treasurer - - Jane' Cuthbert Advisor - Miss Mary B. Kirk In l88l the Red Cross Society was founded by Miss Clara Barton, a kind, eager, peace- loving woman. As you no doubt know, the Red Cross is a world-wide organization. It knows all battlelines: it makes no distinction between race or religion. In time of War it aids the civilians and soldiers of the enemy as well as those of the allies. In time of peace it aids all people in distress. The Red Cross is, in, an indirect way, responsible for the winning of wars: that is, the morale of the soldiers is greatly built up by the kindness and patience extended to them from this worthy organization. Have you ever realized how many helpful and patriotic projects the Junior Red Cross Council of Lima Central High School has undertaken and accomplished this year? In the autumn, toys and other articles suitable for Christmas gifts were collected and sent to the children of Great Britain. In aiding the Red Cross to overcome a shortage of thread a Spool Day was set aside on which all students were asked to bring spools of thread. Let us not forget the Victory Day Book Campaign when the students brought books suitable for the use of Army and Navy men, This is the second successful year for the Junior Red Cross Council in Central High School. Chosen to serve on the council are twenty-eight capable students. This year a special group of committees assisted the president in the work of the council. A production and bandage committee, composed of girls, spent hours in making bandages for the use of wounded soldiers and civilians in Europe and the Philippine Islands. First aid classes were organized for juniors and seniors. For the children of European and South American coun- tries, another committee prepared albums showing the work of the American Red Cross in foreign nations as well as in America. Fo eggn Correspondence dab FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE CLUB President - - - Marilyn Baker Vice President - Norma Rakestraw Secretary - - - Lucille Forton Treasurer - - - Claire Angell Advisor - Miss Gertrude Marshall If you look up the word correspond in the dictionary, you will find this definition: com- munication by letters. Think of the enjoyment in receiving a letter from a friend in a different state or country: think of the interesting and dilferent things you can learn from these people. The United States could be more closely united to South and Central America if more people would take an interest and correspond with our South American friends. Youths of America do not entirely realize the condition of the world, but they do know that it is impossible to correspond with our friends abroad because of poor communication and censorship. The students greatly appreciate the fact that nothing has yet happened to sever our rela- tions with South and Central Americag therefore, correspondence with these countries continues. The club has heard the following speakers: Mr. Bernhard Bing, a German-Jewish refugee, who related to the club conditions in Germany before and after the rule of Hitler: Miss Inez Agerter, who spoke on Mexico and displayed different articles from that country: Miss Jeanette Stuart, who showed moving pictures of Mexico: and Mr, Peterson, a former missionary, who spoke on Tibet, China, and Japan.
