Each year in the spring, a membership campaign is made to get all the students to enroll as members in the Red Cross. The major project of the Club is to help Sterling Township and Newman High Schools fill a chest with health, recreation, and school supplies for students of high school age over seas. Each school also includes the latest edition of its annual in the chest to let these foreign students know some of the things we do in school here. The contents of the chest cost approximately S100 wholesale. This year the chest was made under the supervision of Mr. Barkdoll and we spent about 350 for the chest and our share of the contents. The chest is sent as a good-will gift from us to some school chosen by the National Red Cross Office. After the national dues are paid, the rest of the money is given to the National Childrenis Fund.

Since that time, the chapter has developed into an influential and highly respected organization. Selected on the four principles of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, the National Honor Society members are the leaders of the school. Nine junior members from last year returned this year to carry on the purposes of the organization. On November 23, 1953, twenty new members were inducted into the Society. The old members gave a Christmas party for these new members in December to introduce them into the group. The National Honor Society was active in many projects this year. A bake sale and an after-game dance were their main undertakings. Officers for the year were Fern Rhodes, president, Betty Knapp, vice-president, Donna Gelsinger, secretary, and Bonnie Church, publicity chairman. Miss Helen Warren served as treasurer and sponsor of the organization. Danice Wesner
