Junior Red Cross
Activities Emphasized
Miss Antionette Beasley, Junior
Red Cross Field Representative for
North and South Carolina, spoke to
the student body, Thursday on the
participation of high school stud
ents in the Junior Red Cross Pro-
•r *
gram.
Miss Beasley taught in GHS for
approximately ten years and was
one of the organizers of the student
association.
The purpose of her visit was to
stimulate more interest in the Jun
ior Red Cross among high school
students and to get more work done.
She stated, the students learn while
rendering a service. Miss Beasley
expressed the desire that the Stud
ent Association would form a stand
ing Junior Red Cross Committee.
The work we do after the war for
the Junior Red Cross will form
good will among the nations. Wayne
County’s contribution has-been out
standing and GHS has had a cred
itable part in this work.
Miss Beasley showed the students
soft toys, gift boxes for European
and English children, lap boards,
bedroom slippers and many other
articles made for distribution by
the Junior Red Cross. GHS has
made lap boards, soft toys and book
covers. Miss Mariam Koch is Junior
Red Cross sponsor for GHS.
Classes Aid Red Cross
The Industrial Arts classes of
GHS have completed sixty-four stu
dy boards for the local Red Cross.
They-will be distributed to hospitals
for use by disabled soldiers.
These boards, approximately
eighteen by twenty-eight inches, are
made of %-inch masonite and can
be used for lap boards for use in
reading, writing and playing games,
and also can be used to support
trays while eating. .
Mrs. A. E. Donnell purchased the
material for the Red Cross, and the
Industrial Arts classes, under the
supervision of Mr. Eugene L. Ro
berts, have constructed them with
out charge.
