The bust, 1.-The Young Student" was
placed in the 4th, 5th and 9th grades

The annual roll call for the jun
ior Red Cross was again made, as is
customary each year. The response
was excellent, all pupils joining. We
all realize there is not a finer cause
to contribute to, especially now
with our nationwide problem of un-
employment, the disasters and cat
astrophes that Unexpectedly befall
us and leave people in dire need for
assistance. All these we are aiding
| to alleviate by sacrificing a little
here and there in order to contri-
| butte to the American Red Cross.
This surely is good citizenship"

Constitution Week." September I
1922, was observed fittingly. The {
steps leading up to its formation
the adoption, and finally an analysis
of its contents were studied with !
keen interest. We all memorized the ]
preamble, explaining the purpose ,
"for establishing this Constitution {

more intelligent part in the al i
fairs of our nation.
