S. began work in November 1917. Almost every girl in N C. H S. belongs to the Red Cross and is doing her bit toward making our Sammies comfortable. A limited number of hours each day are given to this work. Theteachers and girls meet in the Domestic Science room. and the hour is spent in sewing or knitting. Many of the smaller schools tired of Red Cross work in a few months and gave it up, but the girls of N. C. H. S. are not slackers and are just as willing and anxious to do the work as they were at first. They have done a great work in the few months they have been organized, and the school should be proud of the patriotism they have shown. A complete list of the articles can not be given at this time, for a great deal more will be clone before school closes. Below is a list ofarticles made up to April l8, 'l8: 57 llot water bottle covers 7 Knitted wash cloths 42 Hospital socks 2 Knitted hot water bottle covers 48 Ice bag covers l Helmet 4 Sweaters 944 Bed socks

S has done and is doing her bit. lflach school day the girls do Red Cross sewing and while thus engaged in producing some things for the comfort of some boy. they have also made a Service Flag to remind us constantly ofthe one-time high school boys who are now serving somewhere under Stars and Stripes. This flag, with its many stars, was hung in the assembly room at the time of an appropriate address by Dr. Kenney. The school is justly proud of her showing and the boys whom the ser- vice stars represent and we feel it to an even greater degree when visitors are seen earnestly counting the stars. When we reflect that the establish- ment of our school dates back only to l900 the number reflects even greater credit upon so young an institution. Higher institutions of learning have done no more accordingly and the service flag places all of them upon a common level in the respect of having given up many of their boys to the service of a just cause. The little dingy star-marked cottage of our land is changed nowg we notice itg it has something in common with even the imposing mansion upon the hill. And, though l am fain to linger. I go by and make no sign: But I whisper this: God bless them, who- ever they may be Dwelling in those star-marked homes, but with hearts across the sea. ERRATA-Since the Honor Roll was printed the following names have been added to the list: Charles Smith and Sydney Hazelton. -T SX

Miss Fawcett appointed one person from each class to be present at our first meeting, Different persons were assigned different places to till. in the preparation of the paper. The paper was named 'The TattIer at the sugges- tion ofthe editor. Doris Jacka was made editor and Helen Marsh assistant editor. Eugene Connor. our chief joknst,joined the medical corps. Later Doris Jacka resigned and Ada Lee has taken her place. We publish in the paper a full acccount of each football and basketball game. The Tattler has been sent to several ditlerent Camps and Forts. Some were sent to Camp Funston, Camp Kearney, Camp Doniphan, Camp Kelley, Hawaiian Islands and other cantonments. By March the twentieth we will probably be sending issues to France, in order that we may cheer our home boys Over There a little now and then.
