Church Street EVANSTON Service Club Aids in Health Activity at the High School The Service club at New Trier High school is one of the most successful and useful in that institution. It is unlike most of the clubs of the school in that membership in it gives a stu- dent member one credit a semester. The club was organized three years ago, under the school nurse and is composed of about thirty girls who assist in the nurses' office with the practical work and also with the cleri- cal work. Since last year a regular course has been: followed by the girls, which teaches the simple rudiments of home nursing. Along with this is taught the care of a baby, and the girls take great delight in putting their knowl- edge of this into practice on the club's mascot, Peggy Ellen, a big baby-doll which was bought for that purpose. The club is affiliated with the Red Cross and at the end of the series of lectures, a test is given by that organi- zation and certificates of membership presented to those successfully passing the examination. Besides benefiting themselves by this knowledge of nursing, the girls are at the same time enabling the Health department to carry on more easily and quickly the many activities neces- sary in the prevention of illness among the students. The club is now under the competent sponsorship of Mrs. Moore, the health counsellor at New Trier. GIVE BENEFIT PROGRAM The musical entertainment to be given by the Edgewater Covenant church choir for the benefit of the Christian Fellowship church, Win- netka, will take place Wednesday evening, February 8, at 8 o'clock.
