Offlcers ChosenByGrade 9 Reserve:

Garfield will again participate i animportant phase of Red Cross work, home-rooms407 and 409 having already started makinggames for soldiers, it is learned. The pu­pils in these rooms are working on acey­deucey games, the material being suppliedby the local Red Cross chapter. Mr. Corbin.machine woodwork teacher, is in charge ofthe making of the boards and of checkers andMr. Younkin is handling the drawing and blUe­print work.

Mr. Felix, joinery shop instructor andan enthusiastic Red Cross worker for someyears, is in charge of the school's program,whioh he expects to expand rapidly as otherhome-rooms,underta~e various'projects nowbeing planned. Mr. Boyd, print shop teacher,has volunteered to help with any printingnecessary, and other shops and departmentswill come in as needed, it is said.

The Red Cress projects were first under­taken last school year and a large number ofgames were produced by several home-rooms andoanes were made by a group of boys underMr. Felix' direction. Local visitors toValley Forge General Hospital ~t Phoenix­ville, Pa., report seeing a number of thecanes in use ther,e.

Tryouts for Cheerleaders have been underway for the past weeks in the balcony of thegirls gym after school. Most of the candi­dates are ninth greders.

Mrs. Henry, sponsor of the group, an­nounces that the only people elig~ble areeighth grade boys and both boys and girls inthe ninth and ~enth grades.

At present the oheerleading squad con­sists of seven veterans: first team - Rober­ta Sopchick. grade 10; James OVerdorff, 10;Donald Houghton, 9; Marion Devich, 9; andJoan Rosko, 8; seoond team - Mary Kisie, 10;and Lois Tagnosky, 9.

James Overdorff and Roberta Sopchick,both of grade 10, are hoping-to earn theirletters by the end of the year. Two years01' satisfactory service are required, theletters being presented in the tenth grade.

Mrs. Henry states ~hat the first andsecond teams will participate at the oominggames.

GIVE TRYOUTS TO eHEERLEAD~R CANDIDATES

From a survey conducted by the TraffioEngineering and Safety Department of the AAAit develops that some 26.000 boys and girlswill be serving as members of School SafetyPatrols in various parts of the state.

Before the war, Mr. Woodward points out,School Safety Patrols were looked upon asan important addition to other communitytraffio protection measures. There weretraffic offioers who did sohool duty; trafficsigns and signals were in good order andcross walks were repainted periodically.But today, these conditions do not prevaileverywhere, through no fault of the officialsinvolved. The police officers have gone intothe armed services, there has been a lack ofmanpower and parts to maintain traffio equip­ment and to keep crosswalks painted.

Thus, the School Safety Patrol memberbecomes the sole protective "device" at manyplaoes. His war job has been praised duringthe past year by national figures who havesaid that if it wasn't for the splendid jobthese "Safety Sentinels" are doing, childtraffio acoidents would have Tisen alarm­ingly. As a matter of fact, in 1943, fata­lities to ohildren 5 to 14 years of age didgo up slightly but with emphasis on deathsduring playtime and not when children weregoing to and from sohool.

@rn!~S7l7@{]J]~~m If>b:I'ii'ffi@l!,

Generally recognized as one of the mostuseful organizations here, the School SafetyPatrol has started this year with an effi­cient handling of street crossing problemsand of noon traffic in the school.

At present the organization consists,of 18 boys from all four grades. They areGeorge Smolar, captain; Joseph Waselewski,1st lieutenant; William Stasko, 2nd lieu­tenant; Edward Musselman, Edward Chupko,Don Alters, Carmen Distefano, Anthony Jeni­dlo, F.red Rzasa, Gilbert Prieto, Donald Ho­bar, Andrew Jurecko, Paul Campbell, RobertFiscus, John Ignat, Steve Banas, Boyd Hornand Charles Wisz.

The boys are keeping foot traffic offthe grass that was planted recently, and asa result the lawn is in good condition, itis pointed out.

NEW BOOKS ADDED TOSeHOOL LIBRARY

Among the new books in the library thisyear are five of unusual interest. II1ssJonesstates. They are MY SISTER AND I. by Dirkvan der Heidi; MUSIC LOVER'S ENCYCLOPEDIA;MARTHA WASHINGTON (Our First Lady), by AliceCurtis Diamond; WITH LAWRENCE IN ARABIA. byLowell Thomas; and POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL.by Eleanor Gates.

MY' SISTER AND I in diary form tells thestory of the author's life. As a boy oftwelve he was a sturdy youngster with tafry­colored hair. blue eyes and a smile thatcould lighten up his white, solemn face.

MARTHA WASHINGTON is a pleasingly writ­ten biography of our first "First Lady." Itis very legible and well bound. WITH LAW­RENCE IN ARABIA tells the story of the almostfabulous Lawrence who saved the Near East forthe Allies in World War I. An "old" book.copies here are worn out regularly by eagerreaders, hence the new addition this year.

POOR LI'l."I'LERICH GIRL is about the stru­ggles ()f a poor girl. I4USICLOVER'S ENCYCLO­PEDIA contains a pronouncing and definingdictionsry of terms and instruments. includ­ing a key to the pronunciation of sixteenlanguages. It also gives an explanation otthe construction of music and the history otmany composers.

The library is divided into two sectionsthis year. One side of the library is takenover by non-tiction books. the other side byfiction.
