OUR RED CROSS AT WORK The great international Red Cross is a good will organiza- tion with a heart. lt, through its many facilities, makes possible for us, the boys and girls of school age, to come into contact with our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate than we. Red Cross is the charity that begins at home, yours and mine, and travels on the wings of love over land and sea to those homes of war-torn Europe and the hungry, deiected East. When we think of Red Cross we think of collection of money. Even though funds are necessary to carry on this great work, there are places where even money cannot buy essentials. The cans you see are not an advertisement for Campbell Soups but are merely a part of the collection of food that was brought by the student body and shipped by the chief repre- sentative and her associates. Always remember that the clothes you have may be too short or too old for you, but they are iust right for one who has nothing. For various occasions the girls made little favors for veteran hospitals and orphanages which were distributed by Red Cross. Selling waste paper brought many a pretty penny to the Red Cross drive. These pennies when collected added up to crisp green lettuce, Q. O The graduating class is leaving the school as zealous apostles. It has been trained through the years and will go into the world filled with mis- sion knowledge, love and zeal, as well as intense feeling of sympathy of less fortunate who suffer physical needs. lviindful of the great gift that is theirs without much effort on their part, since they were born and reared in Catholic faith, the students show their gratitude to God by supporting mission cause. Every one of them is a member of the Propagation of Faith Society and pledges himself to work, pray, and save for the missions. For this reason Wednesday of every week is set aside as Mission Day. Gladly they answer the appeals sent to them by missionaries from many lands and contribute to the support of a semi- narian for foreign missions. The out- standing activity of this year is col- lection of stamps, for which there is always a great demand. This year the Juniors from Room lOl lead in the Stamp Drive. Page 49

I From early September when the first rally is held to the Commence- ment Program in June, we enioy our rights to assemble. Before us in the auditorium this year came many members of religious orders who worked in foreign mis- sions and individuals from education- al worlds who lectured to us on topics of interest. Then, we also heard and enioyed our embryonic freshmen, dramatists, actors, singers and elocu- tionists, as well as suave senior spell- binders. There were round table discussions and Quiz Contests. All in all we en- ioyed our right to assemble. Page A8 I Every month there is a meeting of Holy Name members and Sodalists, when by short skits and reports they encour- age themselves to greater love for the Holy Name of Jesus and His Virgin Mother. Sodality activity culminates in the May Crowning pro- cession on the first of May. lt is always a lovely occasion of showing our love for the Heavenly Queen. The ceremony of crowning is preceded by procession, during which hymns in honor of the Blessed Virgin are sung. Senior girls in flowing pastel gowns form the attending court for the out- going prefect, G. Strozewska, who places the wreath of flowers on the Queen's head.

0 The task of editing Stan-Em fell to the Eaglet staff, for they have gained knowledge and experience in journal- istic work and this was to be their magnum opus. Those who headed the staff workers were F. Nai- duk and D. Snytka. They were responsible for see- ing thot the work would run smoothly and efficient- ly. The work of writing stories of school activities was placed in the hands of R. Dominas, J. Blaszkie- wicz, E. Brager, G. Stroz- eska, L. Wyszynska, P. Kubiciel, G. Mazurek, and R. Czubai. M. Jost, E. Machowski, and W. Maksimczyk cov- ered the sport section. They held this position for the Eaglet likewise. The financial worries were shifted to H. Hefner, D. Zuzek, S. Poniatowski, and S. Redwick, and it was a difficult assignment, for soliciting patrons was an arduous task this year. The work of laying out, arranging the pictures and giving them an artistic touch fell to E. Machowski. To L. Woicechowska, W. Szambelanczyk, R. Szyman- ska, W. Bush, B. Printz, L. Oleiniczak, fell the work of typing and retyping the stories before sending them to the publishers. Jim - ,fm Now we present to the class and the readers our ef- forts and hope that they be well pleased with the '46 edition of the Stan-Em. May it be to you what a year bock should be-an enduring record of school days, c'ear old golden rule days. As years pass by, and time dims some treasured scene or face, may this book help you to remember. Page .Gil
