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

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

THE LAUREL Basketball for seniors started early in january. A group of enthusiastic girls meet in the gymnasium every Thursday after school to participate in this ever- popular sport. The spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship prevail as the players on the two temporary teams compete against each other. The girls learn the rules of the game as they play, and are quick to perceive their mistakes and cor- rect them. Captains or set teams have not been appointed yetg therefore, each girl plays various positions until she finds the one best suited to her ability. Some of the girls intend to make physical education their profession, and with the expert coaching of Miss Esta- brook are here displaying a definite apti- tude for this field of work. Every member of this athletic- minded group thoroughly enjoys this weekly gathering. After every game the players depart home to return to their studies with renewed vigor and enthu- siasm-looking forward to the following Thursday and another invigorating after- noon of basketball.
