Raising over two thousand dollars, Mrs. Shcron Gore's psychology class hands the check to Mrs. Peggy Irving and Mrs. Lynn Buffington of the local Humane Society. )im Bloom Christmas cheer promotes giving Eager to help in a time of need, Colts dig deep into their pockets It's the most wonderful time of the vear, right? Most assuredly. Christmas is the time for giving freely of oneself, for being among family and friends, for sharing and warm thoughts. Heck, it's hauling off with as much loot as your family and friends can possibly afford. Partly, at least. In the weeks prior to Christmas vacation, many groups did things for people less fortunate than themselves. Mrs. Lou Baker's Algebra II and trigonometry classes contributed money daily to the Good Samaritans Shoe Fund for several weeks. Everybody contributed what they could, from spare pen- nies dug out from the bottoms of pockets, to larger amounts col- lected from family and friends out- side the school. Money came in from all over the country as exes who had taken Mrs. Baker's classes sent money to help what she called The children without any shoes. One check even came from California. By Christmas, Mrs. Baker and her classes had collected $1,407. Mrs. Sheron Gore also convinced her class to give something of themselves. Her classes pulled together to give to the Humane Society. They collected $2,000 for this cause. Student Council members spon- sored a canned-food drive to nelp Arlington's needy families. Colts brought cans of food to their homeroom classes. The classes of Mrs. Mary Margaret Basham, Mr. Gerald Brown and Mrs. Sheron Gore brought more than the rest and were rewarded at a party. ACTIVITIES 29
