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.
