Promoting International Good Will I Whenever there is an emergency, the Red Cross is right there to offer aid. The pur- pose of the junior organization is to develop a spirit of helpfulness toward others, and to promote international goodwill. Under the guidance of their efficient sponsor, Miss Vera Ierg, the members have gone far in carrying out these ideals. Each year the high school chapter makes up bountiful Christmas baskets for the needy. This project is the largest of those undertaken by the club and it requires long hours of tedious, although interesting, work. Much credit is due Gladys 1-langebrauck, Marjorie Harris, Britta 1-lelgren, Madeline Mackey, and Carol Vlack for the successful campaign which they planned and carried out with such Wonderful results this past year. Toys, clothing, groceries were all packed and piled in colorful heaps. From all the disorder, bustle, and chaos, articles were sorted, counted, checked off, packed, and delivered. And it was fun! Two dances, the Turkey Strut , and the 1rish fig , were sponsored during the semes- ter. Proceeds from the Turkey Strut were used for the Christmas basket fund While the profit from the lrish fig was used to send delegates to the National Red Cross conven- tion at Washington, D. C. A scrapbook kept for the purpose of the international exchange to promote the feeling of good fellowship and a better international understanding, was kept throughout the year. Barbara Iames, Patsy Oetjen, Laurell Piper, and Tom Tinsley were responsible for the compiling of this book. The last scrap book was sent to Pangasinan Secondary School in Lingayen, Pangasinan, Philippine lslands. ln the past books have also been sent to South Africa and Czechoslovakia. ln the spring of 1939 the delegates chosen to represent Waukegan high school chapter at the National Convention in Washington D. C. were Wayne Hansen, Dorothy Harris, Dorothy Luce, and Tom Tinsley. Donald Carl- son, Astere Claeyssens, Barbara lames, Mad- eline Mackey, Pat Oetjen, and Laurel Piper made the trip in May, 1949. Don Carlson had the honor of being one of the speakers at the convention.

So goes an old proverb. Perhaps that explains in part Why so many W.T.l-LS. girls are learning to cook! One of the outstanding events of the l-lome Economics club during the year was the fruit cake sale the girls gave to raise funds tor an assembly sponsored by the group. Mildred Gibbs and Lois Broemel- kamp received prizes as the star salesgirls. The assembly which was given on November l7, l939, was a very enjoyable one. Miss Sylvia Ann Iohnson gave a skit ot Mary Todd Lincoln's lite. She also gave two other amusing readings. Alter a district rally at Argo, lllinois, two girls were sent to the State club meeting in Chicago. They were Lillian Potochnik and Gloria Villalvaso. The purpose of the club, which flourishes under the direction ot Miss Lucille Webb, is to give high school girls an opportunity to lze ot service to the school and to interest girls in Home Economics as a unit ot study anil as an ultimate career. The girls serve at the dil- terent banquets and teas given at school. In this Way they learn the correct Way ot serv- ing. Otticers of the club are: Lillian Potochnik, presidentg Lois Broemelkamp, vice-president Willemina Boland, secretaryetreasurer. A Mother-and-Daughter tea is given each year in honor of Mother's Day. Interesting programs are arranged for the enjoyment of the Mothers, and refreshments are attractively served. 116

They Wield the Artist's Pen - The letters are a little too large. Try to concentrate a little more on the eye-appeal, Mr. C. H. Tickling, the sponsor of the Poster Club, directs the students in their efforts to portray student life. The purpose of the club is to serve as the advertisers for school organ- irzations by making posters. This year the club served the school in an added capacity. lt was responsible for installing a new lunior building bulletin board by encasing the old one in glass. Credit goes to Mr. Morstadt for helping to plan and erect the board. The Artists' and Models' ball brought the would-be-painters out in full force to dance in costume. The theme of the dance Was a Pirate Iarnboree. Captain Kidd appeared in person and the object was to guess who the impersonator Was. Albert Detogni was the swash-buckling pirate chief. The Christmas party, Weiner roast, and the picnic at the end of the year were among the other successful activities. The students enjoyed the bi-monthly pro- grams at which different local artists spoke each time. Officers of the club were Esther Duncan, president, Norborn Ernerick, vice-president, Hazel Iester, secretary, first semester, and Rosalie Levin, second semester, and Hannah Leise, treasurer. Virginia Reed was the publicity chairman. POSTER CLUB ROXV 1, left to right: Stanley Durka, Madeleine Mackey, Rosalie Levin, Tom O'Grady, Virginia Reed, Anne Blazevich. ROXV Z: Don Long.
