Charity Committee The Charity Committee set high goals this year which were realized through the response of the entire student body. With Vaierie Larsen as chairman, the committee began with the Thanks- giving Canned Food Drive for Welfareville. The drive, held in the third week of November, surpassed all previous records with a total of 2,500 cans of milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat. On the following Monday sixteen representatives of the student body went to Welfare- ville to present the food to the children at the orphanage. In December when Valerie was elected president of the,A.S.S.B.A., K vice-chairman Mary Eieanor Dendy took over as chairman and Gamy Garriz served as vice-chairman. During the January drive funds were raised for the various charitable organizations which approach the school for contributions. Members: Marsha Frame, Gretchen Schulz, Keith, Claxton, and Gamy Garriz. Chairman Mary Eleanor Dendy and Vice-Chairman Gamy Garriz. By the expression on his face, you would think that Bill Stovall was lifting all of the cans collected! Valerie and her committee count the cans of food for Welfareville. Manpower substitutes for horsepower - Welfareville or Bust!
