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
