Efforts Put Forth by Legion and Auxiliary Greatly Appreciated by Staff and Students of the Home The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary are vital to the welfare of the kids in the Home, past and present. In 1919 the indiana Department Com- mander ofthe Legion appointed a com- mittee to study and work with the officials of the Home for the benefit of the children. Each commander since that time has appointed a Knightstown Home Committee. The Auxiliary's Department of Indi- ana began functioning in 1922 with child welfare being one of their major pro- jects. They sponsor and take personal interest in each child. The two organizations sponsor groups and individuals in many and var- ied activities on and off the campus. In September of each year both groups gather on the Home campus for the Legion Day festivities, with the pro- ceeds going for Christmas gifts for each student. At Commencement the graduating seniors are presented with various gifts and scholarships to further their educa- tions, and while on the subject of giving, let's not forget that the Legion annually makes your Retrospect a possibility, as they provide the funds for the expenses. Space does not allow to mention everything that the Legion and Auxiliary do for the Home and students, but one thing is for sure -they are doing some- thing that they enjoy -caring. A THANK YOU goes to these two organi- zations for their untiring efforts in trying to make each child's life a little happier. 1!The American Legion Band plays a number at Legion Day. 2fMrs. Claus and Santa Claus enjoy the Christmas spirit with these students from Cortner Cottage. 3fA legionnaire takes advantage of a free shoe shine from Shawn Zilbermann. 12 7 . .
