Stead Hands . . . NITTING needles, yarn, tape-measures, and knitting bags These articles plus the de- sire to knit, plus constant encouragement from Miss Kathryn Bennett, their sponsor, inspired members ofthe Red Cross Knitting Club to work unceasingly all year making afghans and sweaters for the men in the armed forces, This year the girls knitted enough squares for two afghans instead of one as in previous years. Each girl contributed at least one square for the aighans, Besides knitting sweaters for their own wear, the girls turned in ten to the Red Cross. The money for yarn for the al- ghans was collected through dues and two candy sales at basketball games. Social activities ofthe club were limited to a Christmas party. The club officers are Grace Holschbach, presidentg Edith Klingbiel, vice-presidentg Helen Konopacki, secretaryg Mildred Waack, treasurer. This is the third year that the club has been actively engaged in Red Cross work. and Willing Hearts ECCCNITION ol the importance ol Scouting in the lives ol American girls in wartime even more than in peacetime is to be found in the lact that three Girl Scout troops are now listed among the clubs at Lincoln High The seven girls pictured opposite are members of a beginning troop under fkliss Lorna Carswell. While these girls hope some day to qualify for counseling, their immediate ambition is to pass requirements for the rank of Senior Service Scout. The purpose of Senior Service Scouting is to enable girls to be of assistance in the com- munity in case of such an emergency as a flood, an air raid, or a lire, and to be ready to aid in the evacuation of children and old people PAGE 23
