Students Seek Polio Drive Contributions For two weeks Calumet students worked vigorously on the Polio Drive in a successful attempt to hold the first place honors for two years straight. Chairman Tony Valencia assigned work- ers positions throughout the Calumet area in grocery stores and shopping centers. Dime climbs and a slave auction were held at school. Cheerleaders passed a blanket at basketball games and students voted for their favorite teacher for a nickel. Winning by $ 800 , Calumet collected $ 2200 . ASSISTANT Principal, Mr. Tsangaris starts the Polio Drive with his contribution. Co-chairman Elaine Cox says Thank you— every dime counts!” JUDY Saroff tried to cover the whole Village Shopping Center, pa- trons and proprietors were asked, “Would you like to contribute to the March of Dimes?” “HMMM ...” Jeff Wilsey scratches his head thoughtfully, “I wonder who’s been eating all our candy.” You get hungry counting money think Tony Valencia, Janice Martin, Theresa Borns, and Joe Cudziol. EVEN children contributed to the March of Dimes. Julie Valenga and Elaine Roll were stationed at a local grocery store. 16

“Everybody Yelling!” “CALUMET Warriors, we’re all for you,” chants cheer- leader Jeanne Lynch. PLAYEKS sit pensively waiting for their names to be called. THE day’s studies halt when 1500 students crowd into the gym for a pep session.
