A. A. Ah, yes, those were the days! In early fa.ll,she joined her friends either inpractising Casey's skills, making use of the streamlined archery equipment, or in playing volley ball or cage ball. Then when the jack-o-lanterns were first becoming things of the past, she was officially initiated into the Girls' Athletic Association. By this time, she and her friends were spending their after school hours on a soccer field, playing soccer and speedball.

JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL t The Junior Red Cross Council is composed of one representative from each home room. It plans and executes Junior Red Cross activities which develop a sense of re- sponsibility fer the wel- fare of others. During the war, hundreds of books and scrap books were sent to service men, and numerous art and sewing projects were completed. The Council also has charge of the packing of gift boxes sent each year to unfortunate children and of the annual membership drive. Thanks to the generosity of N. H.

The officers for this year were Marilyn Weissenborn, presi- dentg Norma Heather, vice-presidentg Joan Rogers, secretary-treasurerg and Miss Scroggie was our sponsor. BETA HI-Y The year of l9h6-l9h7 has been one of the most successful in the recent history of Beta Hi-Y. The club conducted an auction of Lena the Pig in November and thirty of the fift dollar proceeds went to the Save the Chil Y ...L dren Federation in New York for aid to school children in foreign lands. The meetings for the year have been interesting and stimulating, with a large part of the time being devoted to serious discussions. The Hi-Y code of Ethics was studied carefully, andeachmember had an opportunity to assess his value to the club. Most meetings of the year have opened with a devotion, which always seems to get things started well. There have been sev- eral interesting speak- ers. Miss Gale spoke on What Hi-Y is About. Bob Keyes gave an inter- esting talk on his Im- pressions of Japan. Mr Mona,ghan,Boy's Work sec- retary, gave a most in- spiring talk for the fi- nal meeting of the year.
