THE LEGEND Sharing the Jbfilk of Human Kindness By Jo MILLER A pal to those who need a palm, one mother of a North Side student said in reference to the Red Cross. And a pal the Red Cross is! In carrying out the pledge, motto, and very foundation of the club, I serve, a group of students numbering forty have sold candy bars, sold at the games, donated clothing, made Easter baskets, painted eggs, made scrap books and collected mag- azines. Eight members waved banners in the parade celebrat- ing Anthony Wayne Week. A committee of five staged a membership drive which was j concluded by a potluck in the ' cafeteria. The drive was for underclassmen and proved very successful. On October 17. a roller skating party was held at Bell's rink. The party brought good r e t u r n s - one-half of which was used for charity, and the other half of which was used for sending delegates to the state convention. On November 1 and 2 in Indianapolis, was held the annual state convention. Delegates from North Side were Marjorie Snydor, Edith Hengstler, Alice Wildermuth, Florence Gallmeier, and Jo- sephine Miller. Short talks were given by each representative concerning the club projects: methods of making money, the social activities, and the charitable deeds. The candy sale was sponsored December 10 to 17. Both plain chocolate and almond bars were sold at five cents a bar. A prize for individual selling was awarded Edith Hengstler. who sold three boxes or 72 bars. This activity was followed by a dance on Janu- ary 16, in the cafeteria after the Central Catholic basketball game. The decorations were in keeping with the basketball season and dance programs in the form of basketballs were also presented. Dancing continued from 9:30 to 11:30 o'c1ock. The social committee consisting of Jo Miller, Louise Meyers, Marjorie Hegerfeld, Phyllis Hol- man, and Betty Woebbeking was in general 17 First Row: B. Wfoebbeking, B, Morton, A. Wfildermuth, Miller.

In April, Rebecca Walley, Marjorie Snydor, and Betty Woebbeking were the chosen delegates to the National Convention in Washington, D. C. The delegates were selected according to me amount of work they had done in Red Cross work. Much inspiration for the coming year was gained at the convention. Officers for the first semester of the year were president, Betty Morton, vice-president, Florence Gallmeierg secretary, Alice Lepperg and social chairman, Josephine Miller. Ofiicers for the second semester were president, Alice Wildermuthg vice-president, Edith Henga slterg secretary, Betty Mortong and social chair- man, Josephine Miller. Thus, giving aid to those in need, furnishing enjoyment to small children by the toys which they make, the Red Cross really gives more real tangible service than any other organization in North Side. The forming of character is also gained in this club by teaching true generosity and the second commandment, Love thy Neighbor.

TI-IE LEGEND The Hi-Y . . . A Character Builder By ALAN BAUER The Redskin Hi-Y Club is an organization of North Side boys whose purpose is to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character. Thus, each member stands for good moral charac- ter and the platform of clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The club meets weekly at the Y. M. C.

The executive committee composed of the officers included Richard Pratt, president, Ralph Hengstler, vice-president, Alan Bauer, sec- retary, and Ed Gresham, treasurer. Under the efiicient leadership of Chester Bow- ers, the program committee composed of Don Warner, the club's president last fall, and Sam Thompson has brought before the club many interesting programs. These programs included both speakers and visits through different places which were both interesting and educational. The Rev. DeWitt Johnston, formerly of the B. E. Rediger Tabernacle, talked at one meeting on The Relationship Between the Church and Laborf' H. B.
