But our activities did not cease when we The next in order was the food pledge campaign. During this campaign the stud- had given our boys to the service. ents showed a hearty interest and through their agency hundreds of cards that otherwise never would have been signed were signed and food pledge cards now hang in the windows of nearly every home in Santa Rosa. In December, following Food Savings Campaign, came the Great Red Cross drive. The enthusiasm displayer by the students in this drive has had no equal. After a week of hard work the results for S. R. H. S. were over 620 new members for the Red Cross. Soon after the big Red Cross drive was over, Santa Rosa Rosa Hi entered the Junior Red Cross with a too per cent membership. This, perhaps is our greatset achievement. Our Chapter of the Junior Red Cross has done splendid work. The boys, with their manual training work and their successful junk campaigns have kept a steady flow of money into the treasury. This money purchased the yarn and other necessary materials which the girls’busy fingers fashioned into socks, sweaters, helmets for the soldiers, be- sides clothes for the homeless Belgian children. The girls have worked faithfully every day after school until five o'clock under the untiring supervision of the teachers in charge. Too much credit cannot be given the students and teachers for the manner in which they support and carry on this Junior Red Cross work. Just after we had gotten nicely settled with our Red Cross work, the Third Liberty loan was upon us. The school children played a prominent part in this drive. As the result of our hearty cooperation of the stirring in as- sembly and unfailing work of all, S. R. H. S. oversub- subscribed her quota four days after the campaign began. Last month we played a game in which the mass of students were against the whole faculty. This was a con- test to find out who could last the longer when it came to The students, after trying for a week gave up the task of trying to “break” the teachers. buying Thrif Stamps. Although the students did not win, the results were far from a failure. The total amount received for Thrift Stamps at our bank was $1,400. Last, but certainly not least, comes our work in Bel- gian relief. Four months ago Miss O’Meara appeared be- fore the student body and asked us each to give a penny

a month toward the Beugian relief fund. There was, in- deed a generous response to this call to help the starving children of devastated Belgium. By the end of the month we had doubled our quota. It seemed that every month our sontributions increased. Everyone always saved all hiis pennies for the “Little Brown Jug” on Miss O’Meara’s desk. So, it seems, looking over the past record of Santa Rosa Hi’s war astivities, that she has, in every branch, gone gloriously “Over the Top.” 6 ee i oe = i RE NIOS
