A. Y. L. Fall Spring Jeanne Wilson President Jeanne Wilson Stan Hall Vire-President Steve Schrock Eleanor Scheincman Ser. Eleanor Scheineman Paul Lackc Treasurer The American Youth League, founded by Dr. Eston V. Tubbs on November 26, 1956, has the following aims: IJ to foster the appreciation of our rights as American citizens, 25 to acquaint us with our responsibilities in maintaining these rights, 3J to encourage our patriotic inclinations, fij to promote international goodwill and understanding g SJ to bring high school students together in other A.Y.L. chapters, The requirements for membership in the A.Y.L. are the rank of junior or senior, and a desire of becoming a citizen our country can be proud of. Especially today we realize the need of citizens who are better acquainted with the history, problems, and ideals of the United States, and who can take an impartial attitude toward current questions. As a project for the year the A.Y.L. has pur- chased three Service Honor Roll plaques that are hung in the vestibule just inside the main entrance. One plaque, commemorating the ex-Empe- hites in World War I, is green with silver letters. The other plaques, honoring former Morgan Park students in World War II, is green with silver letters also. Sigma and the February graduation class have both contributed money to the purchase of the plaques. A canvas of the neighborhood to get all of the names of former Empehites in the service was sponsored by Mr. Meyers. For the fall semester the officers were presi- dent, Jeanne Wilson, vice-president, Stan Hall, secretary, Eleanor Scheinemang and treasurer Paul Lacke. In the spring semester Steve Schrock took over the job of vice-president. Miss Callahan and Mr. Meyers, as well as the founder, Dr. Tubbs, are the sponsors to whom the club owes so many thanks. Page 24 RED CROSS COUNCIL Fall Spring Juliana Cotton President Kurt Kluger Vern Hotzfield Vice-Pres. Pat Hayford Evelyn Olsen Secretary Mary Ann Behnke George Garland Treasurer Don Kamin The Junior Red Cross Council, organized in 1942, has been very active in the school. The council managed the Red Cross Membership Drive, totaling approximately 35400, which was contributed by the students at a movie on Blood Plasma. They also managed the Red Cross War Fund Drive, which netted over 35100, and the Valentine Book Campaign at which over a hun- dred books were collected and sent abroad. Among other activities, the council has made an afghan. This was made possible by various students donating yarn which was knitted into 6-inch squares by the girl members of the coun- cil. With the help of Miss Bell the squares were sewed together to make a large afghan which will be presented to the Red Cross. The council plans to make another afghan. The council is limited to 24 members from the sophomore, junior and senior classes with Mrs. Brown as sponsor. Four delegates repre- senting Empehi attended a Junior Red Cross meeting of all Chicago High Schools at the Y.M.C.A. the first Saturday of every month. This group is also very active in Red Cross work. The delegates are Julianna Cotton, Vern Hotzfield, Don Kamin and Vivian Senechalle. These delegates reported any points or plans discussed at the monthly meetings that might be of interest to our council in helping to carry on Red Cross activities in the school. Officers of the spring semester were Kurt Kluger, president g. Pat Hayford, vice-presidentg Mary Ann Behnke, secretary, and Don Kamin, treasurer. During the fall semester Juliana Cot- ton and Vern Hotzfield acted as president and vice-president, while the ofhces of secretary and treasurer were held by Evelyn Olsen and George Garland. Meetings are usually held every other Friday at which plans for various drives are discussed along with any other projects to help the Red Cross.
