My SPELLERS VIE FOR HoNoRs In preparation for the Canton finals, seventh and eighth grade students parti- cipated in a trial spelling bee, a written test, and a final bee. The first bee was held on February 19 in the school auditorium. Remember how ner- vous the top spellers were? Out of forty-three contestants, Linda Crawford seemed to be the most composed, for she emerged the winner with Darryl Everett runner-up. Miss Floding pronounced the words, and Mrs. Largent and Mrs. Eckstein judged. Miss Ward was supervisor. The forty-three con- testants whc participated in the trial bee took a written test to determine the top twenty spellers for the final bee. The top speller and two runners-up from this written test will re- ceive the W.'H. Matthews award, which will be given at the Recognition Assembly, Mary Grisez won the final bee held March 10, and Bill Hall was runner-up. Mary did a fine job as the SJHS spelling repre- sentative at the Canton finals. STUDENTS, SCHOOL PROFIT BY ASSOCIATION PLAN Activities in Salem Junior High School are financed in part by the sale of Association tick- ets in the fall. This year the ticket sales were handled through the homerooms and the price was 32.75 cash or 33,00 by installments. The associa- tion plan has always been a bargain to the students of SJHS. This year it covered two council dances, the Association dance, the Quakerettes, Junior High athletic events and paid assemblies. A grand total of 378 association tickets were sold during the ear. The sale brought in 5966.45 which was used to finance various school activities. The distribution of the mcney was as follows: one fourth to the Quakerette Fund, one fourth to the Ath- letic Fund, one fourth to support the Association dances and assemblies, and one fourth was held in reserve to help any fund needing additional financing. MAGAZINES SALES NET PROFIT The magazine sale of this year netted a profit of 3320.56 when it was held for two weeks during February and March. Mrs. Pelley, the sponsor of the sale, reports that she is proud of the showing made by the ten high salesmen. Gary Starbuck, whose sales amounted to 3lO2.7l, won 325.00 and Zippy, the mascot of the sale, Jim Schmid, with 369.00, received the S20 second prize, Wayne Washington, with S3l.OO, won 315, and Peggy Sell, with S30.00, won the 810.00 prize. Other high salesmen were ' Mary Lou Early, Butch Crawford, Gary Stamp, Bob Waggener, Jo Ann Rea, and Sandra Wellman, whose sales ranged from 829.80 to 322.00. Each won a five dollar award. Mary Lou Early was also the lucky winner in the drawing for the five dollar Curtis Subscription ticket. -The profits from the maga- zine sales were used to purchase new library books, especially l those on the ninth grade level.

JRC MEMBERS ENROLL FOR SERVICE For ten years SJHS students have participated in the Junior Red Cross program which has as its motto, nEnroll for Servicen. With Tom Griffiths and Dick Stark as Co-chairmen, and the alternate members of Student Council serving as a JRC com- mittee, the membership drive began early in December and ended December 19. Membership contributions amounted to 32O.l5. The first project, packing gift boxes to be sent overseas, was combined with the membership drive by the JRC committee Eac . . h homeroom filled one or two ift S boxes by contributing small toys and health or educational items or, if they preferred, money to purchase these items. Sue Bate- man served as purchasing agent for the homerooms that made a money contribution. Twenty boxes were packed by com ittee mem- bers and taken to the local Red Cross Chapter for shipment over- seas. Art students participated in the International Student's Art Exchange. Mrs, Pelley selected SO pictures to send to JRC headquarters where they will be screened again before they are sent along with other pictures made by public school art students to every part of the world where there is a Red Cross organization. This project promotes friendship among school students around the world. Thousands of pic- tures are exchanged each year. The JRC magazines, JRC Journal and News, are sent each month to the school library -' -war.
