HE Junior Red Cross organization of Wellston High School is in its second year of service. ln November nearly lOO per cent of the students enrolled for the year l9-i3. There was a student executive board composed of one representative from each home room. The activities were varied. Knitting was under the supervision of Miss Drury. The girls knitted sweaters, mufilers, wristlets. cap mufflers, and caps, Sewing was under the supervision of Miss Kaiser. Little blue and pink flannel sacques were made for refugee babies, In industrial arts, the boys under the direction of Mr. Foraker cut out some toys, These were sent to the art department, Where they were put together and painted, The art students have also made posters, tray favors. menu covers, and nut cups to be used in the hospitals. The Girl Reserve Club under the leadership of Miss Jones made carol books, joke books, book marks. metal box covers, cross word puzzle books, and tray favors. The various home rooms filled Christmas stockings. A few individuals, who were not members of any organization, contributed various articles which they made. A group of girls under the supervision of Miss Griswold went to the County Hospital every Saturday morning to make surgical dressings. The Library Club under the direction of Miss Low joined the Victory Book Drive and gathered together a number of books for use in hospitals and camps. Miss Griswold was chairman of the Wellston Unit which included all the elementary and the junior high schools as well as the high school. Miss Marie Carr who is chairman of the County division of the Junior Red Cross has been most helpful, Thir! g K ' lndustrial Arts ack row: Purviancr, P. Jolmcrst, Salllcy. Braucksieker.

HE Industrial Arts department is cooperating lOO0f0 with the War program under the direction of Mr. Foraker. The Model Air-Craft program which was begun in February of the last school year is being continued throughout this year. One hundred and eleven students participated in this program during the first semester of this year. The second semester the number of students decreased to eighty-four, but in spite of this decrease our students have managed to build nearly live hundred model planes to be used by the United States Army and Navy. These models are of all the different types of planes used by the allied countries, as well as those used by the Axis powers. By the close of the school term We had made our final shipment of eight models of each type of plane, which totaled more than six hundred planes. Certincates of Award setting forth the honorary military rank of each student who had built at least one plane were presented to the students at the close of the school year. The shop classes were held in the morning periods, While electricity and radio classes, which also contributed indirectly to the defense program, were held in the afternoon. The sending and receiving of the Morse code over a Wireless set seemed to be the most interesting occurrence in the radio class. Radio and electricity are pre-induction courses and were recommended to the students as desirable subjects to help in our defense program.

Seven victories in eight starts was only part of the successful story of the Trojan Squad, for the boys learned to play the game hard and clean, and developed sportsmanship and a sense of fair play. In the annual Turkey Day clash, Wellston was victorious over Normandy by the score of 13-O. The team this year succeeded where others had failed for eighteen years. Individual honors were won by many of the Trojan gridders. Eric Pella- rin. co-captain, was placed at the fullback position on the All-County and A1lfDistrict Teams: he was chosen by the St. Louis District Football Associa- tion as the most valuable player in the district. It was his smashing offensive play and stonewall defensive backing that inspired his team-mates to th: championship, Art Bahr won a tackle position on the All-County Team and honorable mention on the All-District. Art was one of the main factors in a forward wall that was unscored upon all season. Aldo Rossini and George Koby won places on the All-County Second Team, Aldo was one of the fastest guards in the district. Tackling the opponents behind the line was a habit of his. George played every minute of every game and was generally on the receiving end of quarterback Ray Maginrfs accurate passes that enabled the Trojans to score time and time again.

The Juniors also played Ritenour that day and won with a score of Z-0. On November 12, both Juniors and Seniors played Normandy with both scores ending in 2-O favor Normandy. The Freshman Team made a very promis- ing showing. It played two games, one with Ritenour and another with Normandy, It won both games with a score of l-O. Very few Sophomores reported for practice so the Freshmen filled in for them, winning from Ritenour on November 10, 1-O with Ruth Ann Daugherty making the winning goal in the last few minutes of the game. May Shillinger, an outstanding center halfback, played a goal game throughout the season. In the upper classes, Lois Conlon, Carolyn Smith, Elizabeth Orrock, and Grace Kiefer were out- standing in the forward line. Vsfithout a strong backneld the forwards would not have been so successful, Dorothy Tschudin, Norma Heskett, and June Botkin fed the ball to the forwards with a certain degree of skill in passes and drives. A Varsity Team was chosen but due to inclement weather and inade- quate means of transportation, the game with Webster Groves was never played. Those girls who made Varsity were: Fern Huerner, Carolyn Smith. Elizabeth Orrock, Dorothy Walker, Grace Kiefer, Dorothy Tschudin, May Shillinger, Norma Heskett, June Botkin, Gerry Thomas, and Lila Childress. Thirty - ti ue :,,,,,: .
