Approximately S5000 was acquired from dona- tions by clubs and businessmen, from the color TV raffle, and from selling popcorn during tournaments. Estimated cost of the football lights is S7500.

Elena is an honorary member of several school organizations. April 3-7 was AFS week. Shares were sold at 256 per share and a wishing well was set up for small contributions. Thurs., everyone wore red and white CAFS colorsb and an assembly was held Fri. The week was climaxed by a Sadie Hawkins dance to which the girls asked the boys. Money raised went to the AFS fund for the 1967-68 school year. Mr. Rockne Calhoun was hired to introduce foot- ball into the Bowling Green School system. Ap- proximately 50 7th-l0th graders participated in the S3800 program. Mr. James Armstrong coached the seventh and eighth grades. Seven home games have already been scheduled for l968.
