Many wnrlied hard an paper drives and variely shuws lt was a brand new idea - why not sell candy for profit at Christmas time? So over 500 sophomores sold 5710 pounds to 5000 residents of Birmingham. When the Fred Sanders Company arranged to deliver the order, officials estimated that it would take five or more of their regular panel trucks to do the iob. Finally a large freight truck was called into service. The nearly three tons of candy, added to the weight of distributors, was too great for the floor of any one room. So two were used as unpacking and sorting stations. On D lfor Delivery! Day, 26 trips to and from the truck brought 263 cases of Christmas chocolates to the stations. From stations the candy was delivered to the l7 homerooms and thence to the 570 sophomore salesmen. A net profit of 2597 dollars was earned in this largest project ever undertaken by one class in Birmingham High School. Bearing many pounds of Christmas chocolates, Jim leuden, Mary Cork and Bill Cheer help dis- tribute to sophomore homerooms. But along with rome 500 other sophs, they will share in the fun lter. Helping to unload the big truck are Jim Lewis, larry Serten, Paul loudreau, Jeff Atkinson, Dave Carlisle, and llll Stark.

So to handle the huge quantities of paper accumulated from all over town, Gail Patrick's father obliged with his big moving vans. Assisting in handling and loading are John Dun- can, Dave lowrie, Nicky Parsons, Lauern Walker, Ann Garri- son, Pete Brink, Carl Reynolds and Gail Patrick. Trying to persuade iuniors Bob Guyer, Jan lynch and Lynn Sutherland to buy tickets to Circa Scenium are Mickey Michaels, Sue Burkhart and Sue Tabor. Seniors sold tickets to supplement their class treasury and credit various amounts toward their graduation fees. Everything from comic books to Fortune Magazine was salvaged in the junior paper drive. A Save - Your - Paper reminder was sent to each member of the class in late summer. At a street dance the drive was officially launched, the admission price being one bundle of paper per person. During the next week every available iunior was recruited for service. These hustlers canvassed the entire city, not a basement, not a garage escaping their prying eyes. Cars were loaded to capacity. Then they wended their way to the parking lot, and loads were transferred to waiting vans. Finally in a paper strewn lot the vans were packed full. More than 45 tons of paper were on the way to market. Into the iunior piggy bank went 490 dollars. Q' 'Ms Y iib'X l J
