26 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL enthusiasm of Miss Gladys Pritchard, director of the Junior Red Cross Society in Manitoba, given to each branch in- dividually, and we are proud to remem- ber that Miss Pritchard is an old girl. Grades I and II have knitted squares for afghans, they saved many pounds of silver paper and have also brought pennies for their Red Cross bank. They saved toothpaste tubes, etc., and have also knitted some scarves and saved lead. The Victory Branch of Grades III and lVknitted an afghan and have near- ly completed a second, and are collect- ing more squares for a third. They have 33.86 in their money-box and have col- lected thirty-four pounds of silver pa- per in the Easter Term and seventeen pounds before Christmas, totalling fifty- one pounds. In Grades V and VI the Hurricanes have completed two afghans, five chil- dren's sweaters and five wash-cloths. In collaboration with Grade VII they put on a most successful bazaar in the fall, at which they sold very attractive hand-made articles. This brought in the sum of 364.47g Grades V and VI raised 333.47 and Grade VII, 331.00. Grades V and VI donated 310 of this to the Crippled Children's fund, and 323.47 to the War Chest. The activities in the Grade VII Red Cross branch have been many during 1940-41. In addition to the bazaar al- ready mentioned, they held a cooky sale which raised 310, a bean-guessing contest brought in 31.10. Six wash- cloths, five pairs of mitts, six scarves, one shawl, one afghan, two baby knee- stockings and one baby quilt have been knitted. Grade VIII made 38.10 at a flower sale in the early fall, and have worked on a baby's layette which has been very successfully finished. One afghan has been completed and they are start- ing on another. A money-box for self- denial gifts was kept on the teacher's desk which when opened contained 32.00 which was added to the general fund. The Grade IX Red Cross branch has collected 312.77 from different sources. They have also made twelve sweaters, four scarves, six pairs of mitts and one dress. With Red Cross wool, two scarves, two pairs of mitts and six sweaters were knitted. Seven and one- half pounds of tinfoil have been col- lected and an afghan completed. Money was raised by a candy-sale and by col- lecting and selling coathangers. The Grade X Red Cross branch col- lected the substantial sum of 326.28 by holding a Twilight Show. Large quan- tities of silver paper have also been col- lected, and one afghan completed. Seven scarves, four sweaters, five pairs of mitts, three pairs of socks have been handed in and also some refugee cloth- ing. Representatives from 'Grades VIII, IX and X attended the Red Cross Rally, and joined with hundreds of repre- sentatives from other schools in the province. Reports were heard from the different branches and work was on display. Grade XI contributed 329.00 to the Red Cross Society which was collected at a silver tea and also by selling raffle tickets on a cake. S-carves for the army, socks for the air force, and squares for afghans took the most prominent place in the knitting efforts of this class. Grade XII has taken responsibility for the salvage collected by the whole school. This amounted to one thousand pounds of paper and cardboard, in ad- dition to bottles, kettles, shoes, etc. The proceeds were donated to the fund to buy mobile kitchen units. The Grade XII girls have also made school pennants, selling the smaller ones at twenty-five cents and the larger ones at seventy-five cents. The clear profit which amounts to date to 322.69 is being contributed to the Red Cross Society. War Savings Stamps have been bought by nearly every girl in the school during the whole year, so that the amount from selling these stamps totals up to 3850.004 We are very proud of this and intend to continue to play our part in contributing to the cost of the war.
