THE JUNIOR RED CROSS In the fifth grade we have a Red Cross club. .The president is Bernice Harris and the secretary is Treva Mackey. We have committee for the English, some to keep the school yards clean and to see if the children are polite to others, and many other things. I think the Red Cross is a very good club and I think every room should have a Red Cross club Bessie Mills, 5A grade, Sevastopol school, age 11.

Juniors showed their spirit and took their part in the great splendid Armistice Day parade on Thursday. From the tiny, sailor who marched, or, rather, was carried, in the strong arms of his sailor daddy who marched with the jackies to the very last of the township floats and even in the automobiles, children formed a conspicuous part of the hundreds of people who were "in" it. They rode a merry-go-round gaily what a good time they seemed to be having on the Elks' beautiful float and looked well worth fighting for. All the Boy Scouts of Troop 5 who have their uniforms were in the two floats which showed different scout activities, signalling, scouting, camping and first aid. Scoutmaster Wilson accompanied the scouts. The First Thanksgiving was well represented in a large float all trimmed with beautifully colored

autumn leaves In which about twenty boys and girls of the Junior high school, dressed as Indians and Pilgrims, represented their first feast on America's shores, expressing their gratitude for their safe arrival in a free country. The Juniors who took part in the reprepresentation were: Pilgrims, Hazel Baker, Mary Mayer, Jane Johnson, Florence Harris, Esther Crum, Ralph Anderson, Louis Hoessli, George Harwood, Stuart Bunkley, Richard Lancaster; the Indians, Frances Pratt, Angelina Dishman, Ruth Richards, Fred Throckmorton, Byrotf Howells, Robert Gennett; children, Shurley Sims and Walter Shattel. Other floats on which children rode wese: the War Mothers', William Penn signing the treaty with the Indians, the Woman's club, Westward Bound, Lincoln Freeing the Slaves (High School), the Meltlag Pot, the railroad coach, part of the exhibit of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, In Flanders Fields, the unique vehicles Bhowing the evolution of School Transportation, the Day Nursery, which just radiated with balloons and bright faced kiddies, and the township floats. ' . Boys' bands helped to enliven the i parade which for the most part filed past in solemn procession. These were the Connersville Boys' band and the Richmond High school band. And perhaps most of all, In the minds of the spectators, whether Junior or grownup, were thoughts of those other soldiers and sailors who were not marching in the parade because they had given the dearest thing they possesed their lives In defense of their country. GARFIELD PUPIL WINS TWO PRIZES Virginia Smith, an 8A pupil of Garfield school won two prizes from the Earlham essay contest. She took the first prize given to the grade schools of Richmond. She also took the second prize of Wayne county grade schools. In his letter to her, Mr. Edwards said: "I should like to encourage you to push on in your school work, having a high degree of excellence as your standard. You may not always win a material prize, but you can always do your best; and he who does his best 'wins a prize more valuable than money." Carolyn Nice.
