26 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, ScHooL been sent to English children and kit bags and cigarettes sent to service men. A trinket sale held the first term was a great success, 321.22 being raised. Under the direction of Miss Gordon the play, A Christmas Carol, was presented at which 319.11 was collected. We congratu- late the girls on thus raising over 340. A quiz programme was conducted by Grade VIII which proved very popular. It brought in a total of 35.10. At their doughnut sale 39.20 was raised. Small ditty bags containing such things as combs, handkerchiefs, tooth brushes, soap, were sent to children in bombed-out areas of England. Grade IX has been another very ener- getic group of people this year. First they had a sandwich sale at which 35.90 was made, and the following term a fashion show was held. Various clothes were modelled by the girls and 36.30 was col- lected. On Valentine's day cards were sent to children in hospitals. . n A very mysterious shirt was sent through the school on which each girl who wished sewed a contribution. At the end of its journey it weighted a considerable amount for it contained 36.10. This very original idea belongs to Grade X. In a candied-apple sale they sponsored 36.45 was raised. Two Christmas parcels were sent to service men. Grade XI has been very busy' this year knitting articles for service men. The Grade XII class-room was turned into a photography studio where both girls and staff had their photos taken. From this effort 316.00 was raised. Baseketball crests and school and house pennants have been made from which approximately 39.20 has been collected. 1942-43 has been a very successful year for the school Red Cross. Let's hope that next year we will accomplish even more!
