(aN Organizations ‘‘gained altitude” with the addition of a debate club and the re- organization of the sci- ence club. When members of the HOSA club sponsored a SKATE-A-THON at Kate's Skating Rink, special guest DJ “John Boy” from WBCY never showed and many were disappointed. How- ever, the money raised went to the Diabetes Foundation and the ska- ters had done their part to help out. The Future Business Leaders of America held a rock concert on October 17 at Newton Park, the first one sponsored by the club, gave students a chance to “jam”. People were the fuel that allowed Burns to ‘fly high”. 86 Gaining Altitude ————— Props are animportant part ofa [Stale drama production.

Happiness At A Glance For the third year ina row Fellowship of Christ- ian Athlete members ex- perienced a feeling of warmth like no other. On December 13, the annual Christmas party for 35 chil- dren in upper Cleveland County was held at the Zion Baptist Church Fel- lowship Building. This meant a lot work for FCA members, but they didn’t seem to mind. The FCA members’ tasks in- cluded raising 25¢ dona- tions for several small items they raffled off, and then the $1 donations la- ter, that gave a chance at winning a Video Disc Re- corder, valued at $1399. All totaled, they raised appro- ximately $1500. The total cost of the party was approximately $1200. Senior Chris Edwards commented, ‘This party al- ways gets me in the Christ- mas spirit when.! think of 88 how fortunate | am.” Members volunteered to pick up the children, and when they arrived, they were given snacks and drinks. Then Re- verend Russell Fitts told the Christmas story to a restless, yet quiet group. Next came familiar hymns and carols while waiting for Santa Claus to arrive with the toys. Not Only did he come, he brought four sacks of gifts, excluding what was already under the tree. Furnished for each Child was a toy, shirt and jeans, and a large stock- ing full of assorted games, candy, a McDo- nald’s calendar, and a Bi- ble Story book. Each family also received a box Of oranges. The smile of a happy Child ... the best Christ- mas present of all.
