ff Q 'G' RED CROSS CHAPTER The Angels ot Mercy club is the only organization ot its kind found on any college campus in the United States. The club acquaints its members with the many services that the National Red Cross renders to the people ot the nation and attempts to broaden their understanding and respect ot human problems. The club's activities this year have been more extensive than has been obvious, as they have contributed to the War Fund as much money as they could raise on the campus. There has been established a Red Cross Ottice in the college and a tirst aid kit pur- chased and placed conveniently tor use in emergencies. The Home Nursing Class, which was taught every Wednesday night tor a period ot six weeks, was sponsored by this organization, and the members participated in the Nutrition Class which was taught the latter part ot the year. At Christmas time, the Chapter prepared baskets tor the needy, and helped the F. T. A. purchase and decorate a tree which stood in tront of the president's ottice.
