The Student Teacher ' s Club was organized in an effort to create interest in teaching as a profes- sion. Twenty-eight girls and six boys are enrolled in the club even though membership is limited to Juniors and Seniors who are interested in observing and teaching in the elementary and high schools. The success of the club is indicated by the large enrollment. At the monthly meetings, the club members discuss problems concerning them as student teachers, or they are addressed by members of the administration on topics of interest to begin- ning teachers. The highlight of each member ' s club year is the teaching of a preferred class. The student teacher first observes a class, make preparations, and then teaches the same class under the super- vision of the regular instructor.

We believe in service for others, for our country, our community, and our school; in health of mind and body to fit us for greater service; and for better human relations throughout the world. We have joined the American Junior Red Cross to help achieve its aims by working together with members everywhere in our own and other lands. The Junior Red Cross Council, a new organization in our school, is a link between education and the community. ' It gives to its members a sense of sharing community decisions, and to co-operate in planning and working for the common good are valuable experiences. The council is a direct descendant of the local Junior Red Cross Chapter. Each homeroom in Junior and Senior High School is represented by one of the twenty-five members on the council. Mrs. Kirkwood Adams, who is chairman of the Junior Red Cross Chapter in Roanoke Rapids, is the able sponsor and advisor of this organization. The faculty advisors are Miss Vernie Eddins and Mrs. Rob Cherry Shaw. Page Sixty-Two
