What's New ptround School Collecting clothes hangers and old clothes was the main objective of the Junior Red Cross this year. Representatives elected in each of the sponsor rooms were in charge of taking dues, and selling tuber- culosis seals. During the Christmas season, students in the art department, under the direction of Miss Baker, made menu covers for service- men. Miss Carlburg lent a helping hand in making 100 duffle bags. Sending gift boxes, holding first aid classes, and corresponding with boys in the service are other activities of the Junior Red Cross. The newly orgainzed Junior Izaak Walton Club, under the direction of Mr. Wood, sent Gene Weis to a summer Camp for two weeks. Gene won a prize for being the best Waltonian while staying at this camp. At their meetings films of wild life, hunt- ing, and fishing were shown. Joint meetings were held with Washington-Clay, Central, and Washington, all of South Bend. The meeting with Central and Washington, which was held at the Izaak Walton club house, was a pot-luck supper. Since underclassmen are not admitted to the senior Forum Club, and because those students had not time nor place to discuss current events, a junior Forum Club was organized under the direction of Miss Zeis. The dis- cussions at the meetings were concerned with post-war condi- tions in countries such as Ger- many, Russia, and the Far East. The club also held joint meetings with the senior club. Where could we have it? How would the place be financed? Who would be chaperones? These questions were heard frequently last fall whenever the forthcoming youth center was discussed. Talk became reality when each class in school chose a boy and a girl to act as their representatives on the Board of Directors. Bob Weis- weaver, chairman of the board, worked quite hard with F. Phanor Howlett, chairman of the adult committee, to organize the center to the highest degree. A building located at 112 West Mishawaka Avenue became the object of attention. Carpenters, painters, plumbers, and masons were employed at the expense of the city to redecorate the interior. Students worked for weeks scrubbing, sweeping, and polishing, while donations of fur- niture, equipment, and money were asked. On March 12 the building was open for inspection. The follow- ing Wednesday the center was open for the first time to members only. A junior host and hostess, along with a senior host and hos- tess are in charge each evening that the center is open. The success of the center does not depend upon the finances; according to Rev. Wilbur Allen, chairman of the finance com- mittee: ‘“‘We have enough funds to stay open for a year, at least!” Success does depend upon the conduct of the students while they are enjoying themselves at the center, and upon the approval of the townspeople. It will last as long as we, the students, make it last. Page 27 ENGLISH IV Third Row: Young, Probst, Broman, Hahn, Barnard, Stefoff.
