Thrift Program The Schools at War Thrift Program was very active this year- It included Junior Red Cross work, first aid courses, an intensified agricultural set up, a tremendous scrap drive, and the sale of defense stamps and bonds. The Jeep campaign in April netted us enough for six army jeeps, while the total sales, through the school, of stamps and bonds throuh the year amount- ed to 370.148 Torrance High School is proud to be able to fly a minute- man flag because of the investments of ninety per cent of the students. Miss Mabee sponsored the thrift program. American Junior Red Cross The work of the Junior Red Cross accomplished in the past has been by the Junior High school students exclusively. In the other Marine League schools the American Red Cross is made up of junior and senior high stud- ents. It is hoped that next semester the senior high students will become interested in this vital war work. Miss Chase, sponsor of the Junior Red Cross, is very happy to report that this semester the students and faculty combined collected for the war fund a total of two hundred and seventy-three dollars and fifty cents. Work accomplished in Torrance High School by the Junior Red Cross is as follows: Seven Gift Boxes for South America Five Scrapbooks for Invalid Children Seven Scrapbooks for Service Men Thirty six Thanksgiving Tray Favors Twenty Christmas Tray Favors Five Kneeling Pads Those things which the Junior American Red Cross has under way at the present time are: Six Blouses Six Slips y Twelve Pocket Checkerboards Twelve Jig Saw Puzzles Twelve Writing Pads The American Junior Red Cross has accomplished much for the War Effort.
