THE AMERICAN JUNIOR RED CROSS First Row: Pennybaker, A. Sims, Saunders, Richardson, P. Sims, Little. Second Row: Staker, Boyer, Farris, Harris, McMahon. In many parts of the world the Red Cross is working- to prevent disaster and to save lives. In our local, students, Red Cross organizations, we have two representatives from the Freshmen through the Senior classes. This spring we started a drive for a larger member¬ ship. Our representatives from each class campaigned until the drive closed. We explained that you could give any amount you wanted or volunteer your services for any activities dur¬ ing the school term. In return you were to receive a Red Cross badge, and a membership c ard. We had one hundred percent membership in our school this year. The money from this was sent to Zanesville to be put into the American Junior Red Cross fund. Also, we decided to build a chest to be sent to Europe. This chest was build by our school’s shop and is to be be sent in the near future. Its contents are soap, washcloths, toys, pencils, paper, tootbrushes, etc. It must be filled with a certain amount and with a certain variety. The entire list and number are furnished by the charter office at Zanesville. Our officers are: Anita Sims, President; Everett Harris, Vice President; Patty Sims, Secretary; and Mabel Little, Treasurer. SAMMY McMAHON Pape Forty-eipht k

LIBRARY Philo High School’s Library is considered one of the best in the state. It contains ap¬ proximately 8,000 books. These books are arranged under the practicable and time sav¬ ing Dewy Decimal System. All kinds of reference material and fiction, are in our library. In addition to these, we have the Ohio Pupil’s Reading Circle Books. These books are chosen by a board of nine men from different districts of the state. It is their duty to sift the best books for students to read from the many submitted to them. These books are always educational and very interesting. Philo also has access to the John Mclntire Library of Zanesville, Ohio. Our library also receives the latest popular magazines. Mrs. Courtney, who is in charge of the books, is assisted by a staff of eight student librarians, who are under her guidance.
