Marion Milde The Junior Red Cross Council was started here three years ago and has since become one of the outstanding organizations in the school. Members include a representative from each home room, two delegates from Student Council. and the two delegates to the Inter-High Council in Worcester. This year the dele- gates to the Inter-High Council were Barbara Putnam and Bruce Norton. Barbara Putnam was also selected to represent the Worcester Chapter at a ten day Leadership Training Center at Wellesley College in July, the first Shrewsbury student to receive such an honor. The aims of the Junior Red Cross are threefold: to promote better relations between the United States and foreign countries: to help war stricken countries: and to make the physically handicapped more cheerful. Under the capable leadership of our President the Council set out to do its share for these causes. With the full co-operation of the students and school organizations, the Council filled a school chest for some needy school in either a foreign land or a disaster stricken section of the United States. The Council also sponsored the making of several other articles for the hospitals. It has had a very successful year and hopes to be able to continue its good work next year.

Larry Murphy With the aim of becoming members of the National Forensic League. a Young Debaters Club was formed by twenty enthusiastic freshmen and sopho- mores early in the school year. This new organization was sponsored by Miss Dorothy M. Churchill, Shrewsbury debate coach, and Frances Zuromskis. a N. F. L. member. The club has been successful in that all the members learned the fundamentals of debating. Along with the experienced debaters. the club members have debated against teams from Clinton High, Grafton High, and North High in Worcester and have also represented Shrewsbury High at the Roxbury Debate Clinic and the Laconia, New Hampshire Practice Tournament. Problems of debating are discussed at the meeting on Mondays and practice debates are held. English debating and extemporaneous speaking have also been included in the program.
