Ecclesia members took on a new Christmas project in answer to a request by John Raschke, a former Central student. John had written Mrs. Vivian House, Ecclesia spon- sor, asking if the club would be interested in sending toys to Thai- land, where he was stationed. In the middle of November, the girls collected small toys and shipped them to the children. During the weekend break after first semester exams, Ecclesia had a skating and sledding party at Vets Park. After the outdoor ac- tivities, everyone got together for hot chocolate and dancing.
