Amy Goyette Laughter and squeals of pleasure rang through the halls of MacArthur High School on December 18. Continuing a tradition of sixteen years, the students from MacArthur par- ticipated in Project Child. Elementary school children from less fortunate homes were given gifts of food, clothing, and toys during the Christmas season of 1987. Student Coun- cil sponsor Dick Stinson said, Project Child was a good way to learn to give of ourselves. So often the students get caught up in the partying and pizza and forget the true reason for participating in Project Child: sharing. About sixty of the homerooms participated, donating gifts of food or clothing and collecting money for toys and other necessary items for their selected child. Homerooms were given report sheets on their children giving clothing sizes and particular items needed. Project Child, a program developed to give less fortunate children a happier Christmas, taught everyone a good lesson in sharing. Vice-president of Student Council, which spon- sored the event, Tad johnson, relayed, Project Child gave these kids the Christmas of their dreamsf, In the spirit of Christmas, MacArthur High School students donated their time, money, clothing, and food by taking part in the Project Child Program in 1987. Deborah Coleman, a student in Mr. David Timmons' homeroom class, remarked, f'The look of happiness in our little girl's eyes while she was opening her presents made giv- ing up a little extra money worth it. A student in Mrs. Pat Munro's second period class, Susan Rahn, quoted, Our lit- tle boy was shy, but he warm- ed up as he got used to us.
