Massive effort shatters record The holiday season at Glenbrook South was full of spirit. The students gave of them- selves to those who were less fortunate. For example, every year, GBS sponsors its canned food drive. The cans which are brought in by the students and teachers are counted as they come in. There is competi- tion for the most cans donated, not only among classes but between two schools. This year Glenbrook South competed against Glenbrook North in amassing the most cans of food. GBS defeated GBN by more than 3,000 cans. GBS brought in more than 13,000 cans while GBN brought in l0,000. The previous record at GBS was slightly more than 2,400 cans. Another way in which students at South raised funds was by giving any loose change or money to a Claus Family. There were several Claus families at GBS. The families were made up of a couple tboy and girl, usu- allyj who tried to raise money for charity by walking around school collecting small dona- tions from students. On Halloween some students got into the holiday spirit by dressing up in costumes that they wore at school. This year was the first annual holiday Among those who dressed in a Halloween costume was Gene Shin who came to school in a Samurai outfit. 38fHolidays alumni dance. It was not the traditional boy ask girl dance but was instead like t'Turna- boutj' for which the girls ask the boys. Every couple which attended was asked to bring a Christmas oranament with both persons' names on it and the year 119811, to hang on the tree at the dance. For each future holiday dance, these orna- ments will return to the tree, along with new ones that are added each year. Harry Gott- lieb, dance chairman, said, l'This dance was meant to be different from previous dances. We wanted to find something to create a warmer atmosphere and to make people stay at the dance longer. Cafeteria l26 was deco- rated to such an extent that it was not recog- nizable. Gotlieb credit many for making the dance a success, but especially mentioned the ef- forts of Karen Patterson, Ellen McDonald, Kathy Haverty, Betsy Hare, and Marcia Xin- taris who worked almost 100 percent of the time for the dance. Art Department students paint other students' faces to add to the Halloween festivities.

I A. . . - outh puts on assemblies to fulfill various purposes Throughout the school year one way to communicate things to the whole student body at one time was by holding an assembly. During the course of the year, different as- semblies were held for various reasons. For instance, the Homecoming pep assembly and the Honors and Awards assembly were all done to celebrate upcoming events, whereas the AFS, winter sports, and student election At the Coach's Day assembly, Helene Hindes and Matt Ferraro accompany the playing of the school theme song. e ivilfiik bfii assemblies were simply held to inform the student body. The Assembly Writers' Guild, which is a fairly new club at South, put on about half of the assemblies during the year. .lean Miller, a member of AWG said, It is a good way to get students involved. When they see their friends up on stage they become more inter- ested. When sophomore Kristen Haynes was asked what she thought of the assemblies she replied, Some of them are real fun when students are in them but others can get to be boring. 5 , ,ff 2 ,,,i, I N oft, fs a X 5 'I t :Sew 'I I t uv! 1 fs , KA.. m f, . i f t ,N 4 ,. ...Q-v ' Mama Glass looks on as the fall sports assembly gets organized.
