Tom said, “We raised more money than any other SCA has. We had a walk-a-thon and an SCA Day on the radio to raise money.’ So despite the opinion some students have as to why they don’t know what the SCA does, the benefits can be seen. Whether it is furniture in the lobby of the new school or cat- sup in the cafeteria, the SCA works! Santa Claus (Palmore?).
