SUCCESS COMES IN CANS Kuners' canned foods are just a few of the many different types which were collected. For the past two years. Brighton High School has held a canned food drive. Brighton has been challenging other schools to see how many pounds of food could be accumulated for the needy. The third hour classes also held a contest between themselves to see which class could collect the most food per class member. Mrs. Fulton's class took honors this year. BUS lost the challenge to Ponderosa as Ponderosa collected 17(X) pounds of food to the BHS 1300 pounds. This food was accumulated during the week prior to Thanksgiving and given to the House of Neighborly Service which distributed baskets of food all over Brighton to needy persons and families. Jum by looking at the bus piled high with food, everyone can tell that success does come Doug Gregory looks dazed as he finishes hauling in the many thousands of pounds of in cans! food 109
