Bows Work for 'Y' Members

The boys in the boys department
of the Y. M. G.. A. are working es-
pecially hard just now for this
month membership drive is on
There are two good reasons why
they are working so hard. The
first is that they want the other
fellows to know what great fun
it is to belong to the Y. M. c. A,
and then they want to earn some of
the beautiful prizes that the de-
partment is offering to the boys
who secure new members.
There are three prizes, and they
are so attractive that no one
would blame any boy for wanting
them. They are: A "Y" stick pin
to which will be given to every boy
VINO gets one new member, "Y"
watchfob for two members and a
belt with "Y" buckle on it for the
boy who gets three new members.
By Wednesday, Paul Thistle
thwait had three new members,
and each of the following boys had
one new member: Russell Taylor,
Tim Sprouse (who is a boy in
spirit), Harold Roberts, Raymond
Luby, Elmer Fuller and Maurice
Hosier.

Garfield Notes

Professor Heironimus left Tues
day to visit the Junior High schools
of Fort Wayne, Indiana and Jack
son, Michigan. He was gone the
remainder of the week.
Owing to the absence of Profess
sor Heironimus, no Council Meet
ing was held this week.
Friday morning, April II, the pro,
gram in Chapel will be a musical
one and will be given chiefly by the
Garfield orchestra.
A new Red Cross work has ben
begun by the Garfield pupils, and is
part of the general work of the
Junior Red Cross. 1t is called
News Clipping" and means that
every Junior should cut out any
news story ne sees that has the
words RED Cross" in it. The 9TH
er Junior will secure three other
copies of it and the secretary of
each room will paste them on a big
sheet of card board a certain way.
One of these copies will be kept in
Garfield as part of the school
scrap book ,one will go every two
weeks to the Richmond headquart-
ers of the Red Cross, one will go
to the Headquarters of the Lake
Division, and the fourth will be
sent to Washington, D. C. The
idea of this is the bringing together
of the Red Cross Juniors of Rich
mond with the Red Cross grown
ups" of Richmond and with the Sc
niors and Juniors interested in Red
Cross work all over the country.
1.-THE total number of Thrift
Stamps bought by the students of
the Richmond Public schools
up to March IA, is $4,90S.71. which
sounds big, but really ought to be
much bigger, when one thinks of
the hundreds of children in Rich
mond that this number stands for.
Why doesn't every Junior plan to
earn enough money to buy at least
one a month?
