The 1979 annual Elmhurst Penny Arcade is about to begin! Throughout the halls of our hallowed school, you will find a variety of booths, vend- ing machines and solicitors all trying to pawn their stuff off on you! So get your money ready to be taken away, because the Trojan Penny has already begun to roll! On November 16, EHS opened its doors to hundreds of carnival and amusement park lovers during the annual Penny Arcade. It may be true that we didn ' t have any rides, but we made up for it with our booths, games and activities. Student Council sponsored the festivities with individual clubs and classes having up to three booths each. The assortment of booths and contests was astounding. There were pinball machines, football throws, a dunking booth, bottle ringing booths, putt-putt holes and lots of cot- ton candy all to make the 1979 Penny Arcade a great success! Have you been to Vegas yet? No, I ' ve been eating gold- fish. Oh, gross!!! THE EXPRESSION ON senior Valerie f layes ' s face tells all just how she feels about the goldfish.

It ' s Christmastime With Miss Virginia Christmas is a time tor giv- ing, and it is safe to assume tinat most people share this feeling, whether it be a giving in the way of presents and monetary items or of just giv- ing a little of your time to someone who needs you. There ' s a lady in Fort Wayne who does both. Her name is Miss Virginia Schrantz. Each year, all year long, she gives of herself and of things donated to her cause of peo- ple who are needy and with- out. Elmhurst plays a very important part in Miss Virgin- ia ' s (as she is called by most people) mission by holding their annual Miss Virginia can- ned food, clothing and toys drive at Christmastime. This year over a third of the boys ' gym floor was covered from our student body. This year was EHS ' s biggest turnout of giving. In a note that Miss Vir- ginia sent to the school she said, God bless you, one and all. Thank you!!! Well, thank you, Miss Virginia, for just being who you are. GIVING, THE SPIRIT of Christmas, is always abundantly expressed by ttie Troians at Christmas time Miss Vir- ginia ' s pile of food, clothing and games grows as the gifts are brought in by a long assembly line of eager Tro)ans. A THIRD OF the gym floor is covered b the contribution from EHS ' s populace Once again, we topped the previou year ' s donations. 28 — Christmas Assembly
