The Junior Red Grosssmer1ber4
ship campaign which is being in
auguaratcd this week is meeting
with hearty response. Each day
finds the enrolfthGnts rapidly in
creasing. 1t is a most worthy
cause and every child should join.
To make the children feel that
they are dynastic factors in help

way to, teach patriotism.
On Friday afternoon of this
week appropriate programs-in the
Honor OF Washington's- birthday
will be held in each and all grades
of the school. Parents are not on

programs in the lower grades will
begin al 2 O'Clock, and the upper
at 2:3O.
