Students' Idea Brings Red Cross To Pork The poster read: Sign up for the Red Cross Club after school in room 221. Those curious enough to attend the meeting learned its purpose, people getting together to help other people, explained Charles Pfannenstein, the club's advisor. The idea of a Red Cross Club was first brought to the principal. Ridhard Wainio, by Robin Lamport, Premanand Badhwa, and David Sage, freshmen, who had previously participated in the program. I was amazed with the ways they were helping people, Lampert said. Though the group was small, things progressed rapidly. The club incorporated the members’ ability to use sign language into a program which was performed at elementary schools. They also walked for hunger and took senior citizens shopping during the holiday season. Starting something new and unknown makes it difficult to get people involved,” said Pfannenstein. but I think we're off to a good start.” Unda Peterson and Rachel Hobbs discuss the Rod Cross convention to be held the first week In February. ▼ G.

Community Affairs Priority Of Student Council This meeting is now called to order. Is there any old business? Is there any new business? The student council opened its sessions to those lines each time it met. The old business? As every year, how to improve the council and give it more meaning. The members tackled this problem by visiting other schools and sitting in on their council meetings. They found ideas on how to become more organized and efficient, how to better aid the school, and how to make known what they were doing. The new business was getting involved with two community service projects. For their first project they called people in the St. Louis Park area to ‘‘walk their block” for the American Cancer Society. The council members had a pot-luck dinner prior to a successful night of telephoning. A fund raiser was — organized for their second project in which they raised money for the National Wheelchair races held at the Courage Center in May. Is there any other business? The student council reached some of the important goals it had set during the year. The meeting is adjourned. ► Tamml Zeikm, Naomi Kenmotsu, Jen Baskin and Dana Bartlett direct their attention to the treasurer's report. 24 Student Council
