Functioning as an active branch of the American Red Cross, the Myers Park High School Red Cross chapter began the year with a successful membership drive. Donations to support the year's activities were collected by representatives working in their homerooms. Most projects were on a national level or in coopera- tion with other Mecklenburg county schools.
