Alverno's walk, according To one junior, was a big suc- cess . Many girls had fun while raising money for The school. The main purpose of The walk was To raise money and To use iT for someThing consTrucTive, ThaT everyone could recog- nize. Thanks To Mrs. BeTTy Quayle, The AdvancemenT Dl- recTor, from whom The walk idea originally derived, every- one enjoyed The day while raising 86980. AlThough a cause for The money had noT been designaTed yeT, mosT sTudenTs responded ThaT They would approve of any use. Each sTudenT who had a S50 quoTa of pledges received a free Alverno T-ShirT. A free lunch was served To each sTudenT, which consisTed of: a hoT dog, poTaTo chips, a snack and a fruiT drink. Follow- ing The lunch, a disc jockey supplied The sTudenTs wiTh dancing music.
