f F ^ PAGE EIGHT THE VOICE MAY, 1956 Red Cross College Unit The Red Cross College Unit of Fayetteville State Teachers Col lege is composed of students who are interested in rendering service to their communities and to hu manity. The organization oper ates within the regulations of the nstitution but is a channel through which the community Red Cross Chapter extends services to the college. The activities for the year are planned by the students in connec tion with their sponsors. Students make use of the experiences they gain to improve their abilities to serve the communities in which they may find themselves working as elementary school teachers. Nearby Fort Bragg might be con sidered a laboratory for working with hospitalized adults. Once a month, groups of students visit the post hospital to lend a hand as hostesses for patients who are there. The hostesses plan pro grams for some occasions. At other times, they participate in activities that have been planned by the recreation leaders in the hospital. The Fuller School in the city of Fayetteville was accepted as a place to be visited at intervals. Members of the organization have gone there to read stories to the children, to play games with them, and to deliver gifts. An effort is made by the group to secure some information con cerning home nursing, first aid, and safety. In addition, they pre sent assembly programs for the benefit of the entire colloge fam ily • This school year has been full of experiences under the leader ship of Mildred Ray who served as president of the organization.
