ON THE ROLL OF HONOR

The Opelousas High School
has obtained the 100 per cent
membership in the Junior
School Auxiliary Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, with the 9th :
high schools throughout the
state. and will be placed on the
roll of honor.
There are 593 pupils en-
rolled in the local institution,
and it is understood that the
majority Of these will engage
in work in behalf Of the refu.
pee child~on of Belgium and

school rally has been post
poned the children will have
more time to devote to this
very Iaudable cause.
A gift Of twenty-five dollars
from Mrs. ]. P. Saizan, wa
received. This was greatly
appreciated by the auxiliary
as it will aid in the purchase
of material necessary in the
work which the pupils have
mapped out.
