THE LAUREL The Art Club of .R. M. H. S., under the supervision of Miss Hicks, can well be proud of its accomplishments. The girls have succeeded in drawing not only cartoons for the Enierprise, but also pos- ters for various campaigns and rallies. Everyone may enjoy the Hnished prod- ucts, but few really know how much work is put into them. Often the girls remained after school, willingly, sacrificing their own time in order that the art work would be ready on schedule. During Art Week, the girls care- fully worked out very colorful posters to send to Army and Navy hospitals, where they were received with much gratitude. The most pleasure any member of the club could possibly get is from someone who appreciates and enjoys her work. Each week the following girls meet in the art studio: Lorraine Laserson, presi- dentg Pauline Kassion, Flaine Goldberg, Ida Bertolucci, Dorothy Betts, Irene Kan- ter, Vlinona McCarthy, Ruth Lerman, Dorothy Morse, Gertrude jocknowitz, and Zafiro Hantis. The members hope that the future art clubs will have as successful a year as theirs. 1I24l ' The Art Club

1944 Pan American Club The Inter-American Friendship Club, which has been in existence in one form or another since 1931, voted to widen the scope of its usefulness this year by arranging a series of assemblies to which all pupils interested in Latin American culture could be invited. The first of these assemblies took place at the end of January, when we saw Americans All, a film obtained from the oHice of Co-or- dination of Inter-American Affairs, Wash- ington, through the courtesy of the Pan American Society of Boston. Each week since then, one or two Films describing life and customs in South America have been shown, and as the year advances we shall make a trip, in this delightful and easy way, through Mexico and the Caribbean countries. When time permits, Miss Loughran teaches the Spanish words of popular songs, and all join in a new version of South of the Border, A m a p o l a, Yours, and other familiar tunes. The following girls form the committee in charge of the assemblies: Ruth Somerville, Joan Hart, Agnes Johnson, Madeline Bul- lock, Rosemary Whittaker, Jean Beaton, and Harriet Entin. rl23l-

1944 Junior Red Cross Under the splendid supervision of Miss A. Gertrude Bullard, the girls of the junior Red Cross Club contributed their time and skill in making articles to be distributed among the boys in the service as well as needy families in our commun- ity. The officers of the club are president and senior representative, Margaret lieaneyg vice president, Helen Keaneyg junior representative, Marilyn Lowneyg secretary, Mildred Webb, treasurer, Mary Fowler. The Red Cross Representatives of Memorial meet with the Senior Red Cross every month to enjoy a social hour and to hear interesting speakers in regard to Red Cross work. The cheer spread by their contri- butions of toys, scrap books, work bags, and other useful articles made Christmas happier for many less fortunate than themselves. Appreciation of their efforts has come from all the camps, hospitals, and institutions the girls have helped. Vile thank you for the attractive favors you sent for our hospitalized sol- diers . . . your organization has done much to make our children happy this Christ- mas, and We are grateful. 1251
