Along with head girl, head hoy, class president and vice president, the officials for the Red Cross, of this year, were elected. The girls were divided wito two groups this year—12A forming one and 12B-C the other. Freida Parker was elected President and Joyce b tiller. N ice pres¬ ident. Donna Waffle captured the position of Secretary and Arline Groh, Treasurer. W ith these ambitious girls (?) to spur them on, the Red Cross has gone far. Think hack—remember those pop-corn halls of different colours, those taffy apples, and that delicious fudge? Al¬ though it took a lot of preparation, it was all sold in only fifteen minutes! Hnini—Future salesmen in the crowd ! The night before the great event, girls gathered at the homes of J. Fuller and J. A. West. They had a popping time at Joyce s and, it must he said, a rather gooey evening at Jo-Anne’s. The rest of the girls invaded the Home Economics room under the able guidance of Freida Parker who acted as chief pan-licker. The delicious aroma of fudge, fudge, and more fudge filled the third floor till almost six o ' clock. But they must he pretty good cooks because there were no burnt pans (so they tell u . The efforts of these girls brought in their first neat sum of $10.80. Thinking that this proved that the students were behind them, a few months later they set out on a mile of pennies. The voices of J. Ryan. L. Sandra, M. Zorzit and B. Lang attracted many pupils who had scores of pennies. Somehow part of John Lotick’s lunch got in this line but the girls managed to sell it. From these efforts another neat sum of $11.40 was acquired. Haying done the usual things that Red Cross groups do, the girls set their minds to thinking up something different. Miss Wagg’s health classes became discussion periods. Finally some “brain mentioned the word “dance. A good idea? Yes, but there was a little problem of permission and chaperons. Before even attempting such problems the date was set for the Sandwich—Patterson game. The small¬ est problem solved, all minds turned to the ‘ ' permission- chaperon’’ angle. You must admit that women can talk their way into some of the nicest places. Mr. Havdon and Mr. Cameron (under pressure) kindly agreed to become chaperons. Prefects on duty, a check room, records, saw¬ dust, and a million and one other things finally found their way into a pattern—a pattern of one of the most successful dances held in the Patterson gym. All efforts weren ' t in vain, for there was a marvellous turnout. The tremendous sum of $64.15 was added to the $22 already in the Red Cross treasury.. Do you remember those two little war orphans the Red Cross group of last year adopted? They have followed through this year and sent the $50 across the ocean for them. You all have helped keep them for another year The Red Cross wasn’t inactive during Christmas either. Girls visited the children’s ward in East Windsor Hospital. Then gifts were bought and sent to them. Not onlv chil¬ dren have profited, but also the veterans. Their Christmas dinner was made mor enjoyable when scissors, knives and even razor blades worked overtime making fancy and funny placecards for them. Probably you have a picture in your photo albums of the girls who helped the Good Fellows around Christmas time. But this wasn ' t an all-girl show, for, after some encourage nient 12B boys braved the weather and helped ou t too. It ' s still a mystery, however, how they all managed to have stomachaches next morning. Their latest activity was in the appearance of a teachers’- students’ volley-ball game. The teachers as well as students turned out in force. Mr. Newman escaped the first game but the paging of some of bis feminine admirers brought him out for the remaining two. Everyone had a grand time even though the teachers won two out of three from the grade 12 girls. Supporters made the rafters ring to the tune of $21.56. As an added attraction the Senior Boys’ Basket¬ ball team got together and played an all-male teachers’ team. The mystery of it all was when the net fell, and yet if you ask Bob or Zoltan, they’ll only sav “I didn’t touch it, did you? The game was close and exciting with the boys beating the teachers by the narrowest of margins. This is just an account of the things past. Being modern, they ' re looking t. the future Let tin mind of a woman start working and—it won’t be long Ail yon hear from her again. Be on ho lookout! •• ♦ r- Page Forty-two
