The committee of teachers consisting of Miss Ferguson, central commissioner for the club, and Miss Holtz, Miss VVheeler, Miss Davidson, Miss Sheardown, Miss Knappen, Miss Marchant, Mr. Oliver, and Mr. Raymond, made a thorough canvass of the faculty and all others connected with the school. Mobilizing Child Power F 1600 pupils devote two hours a week to the Red Cross, how much will be accomplished in the forming of thrifty habits and the training of the eye and hand? How much will be accomplished in sewing, knitting, oakum picking, and surgical dressings? How much will be accomplished in the mak- ing of citizenship? ln a movement toward more thorough nationalizing of foreigners? Answers to these questions were formulated when South High turned attention for two periods a week to patriotic work. The plan was carried through successfully by the cheerful co-operation of teachers and students, and the further co-operation of these with Mr. Jorgens and Miss Sheardown, director of Red Cross activities. The whole sch-ool gladly turned from reading, writing and arithmetic to braiding rugs, hemming handkerchiefs, knitting socks, finishing sweaters, and picking oakum. Under Mr. Adams the oakum picking was carefully organized, vacant classrooms and laboratories of the old building being used to good advantage. War Orphans The following teachers in connection with the pupils of their respective rooms have adopted war orphans: Miss Becker, I Mr. Hegel. Miss Marchant, and Mr. Biddlecombe, 2 Miss Fish-I ' Mr. Parrish, I Miss Klampe, I Misses LaVigne, I 28

Ffh, 'H 'x El U' wire. DMEM T The Christmas Boxes BOUT the time when other people were busy with their shoipping lists, the Domestic Science Department began to develop a mysterious plan. Not a word to anyone did they say 'because it was going to be a surprise. The sewing classes knittedg so did Miss Kriedt's drawing pupils, Miss Von Rohr's cooking classes beat, rolled and stirred bewildering mixtures-for the secret. Everybody did something. But willing workers alone couldn't pay for this costly secret so they finally consented to let others contribute money. Beside this, they sold pop-corn balls and finally enough money was collected. Then Miss Von Rohr visited Miss Niles, and together they visited Miss Kriedt. These teachers later talked to their pupils and then it was found that the school was to be told about the surprise. One day everyone was invited to come down in the dining room and see. They came. On two long tables were many boxes. These boxes were all open and inside were-what wasn't t'here?-sweaters, washcloths, scarfs, wristlets, candies, fruitcake, cookies, stuffed dates, and gum for t-he boys with the colors. The plan was a great success from the first and after the Entre Nous girls had packed them, the boxes were shipped off to the enlisted boys of South High. In addition to the Christmas boxes, the Domestic Science classes under Miss Von Rohr's direction, did the following work: 50 baby bonnets, washed and sent to Belgians. IOO baby jackets, washed and sent to Belgians. Tracing linen. washed and pressed for making hand- kerchiefs and other articles. Candy, cookies, and bread for Red Cross Bazaar. I'ies and pop corn balls for Red Cross benefit sales. ELVERA EDLUND 'll f -If WQLZ -lllf - .pf -1510. ---a - f - -lf! S -V E S 2 S ' 'Z , -1-.,, Sl. gg , 30
