NUMB PLEA Psst . . . Can I borrow 20c? . . . Where would our world be without telephones. Who knows, we could be still sending smoke signals like the Chaptico Indians. However, everyone seems to have their own definition of a telephone. Like Mrs. Nelson in the ad- ministration office says, “Sometimes I could rip this phone out of the wall!” But for those of us who don’t make a living by being a secretary, really enjoy using the phone. When you see the lines at the phone during lunch and after school you would think nobody has a phone at home. Dawn Phillips says, “I use the phone once in a while during lunch to call my mother to say ‘hello’.“ Tam- my Ryce says, “The only time I use the phone is when I try to get someone to check me out.” But mostly the phone is used to call our boyfriends and girlfriends to catch up with each other after a hectic day. Or maybe to say a quick “I love you.” But most of all it’s just nice to hear you smile. Hot Line' About 50 people each day pick up this receiver between morning, lunch, and after school.

Caring is Sharing CHS Donates $725 In keeping with the spirit of giving at Christmas, CHS students organized a schoolwide fund raiser for the famine victims of Ethiopia. In only two days we raised a whopping $725.00. It was presented to the Famine Relief Fund sponsored by the Red Cross just before Christmas vacation. Our efforts were noted in a letter to-the-editor from the Red Cross appearing in the Enter- prise. More than the recognition in the coun- ty paper was the satisifaction in knowing that we had done something to reach across the world and help keep hunger at bay. We want your money Mr Murray. Mrs Comer, Debbie Westerfield. and Kelly Hanus deposit the money they collected for the Ethiopian Relief Fund. Cindy Hall, the St. Mary’s County Farm Queen answers questions about our area at the fair. 26 Cruisin' Mini Mag already lost five dollars and you want me to play again? $725 was collected for the Red Cross Famine Relief Joan Brown and Brenda Lyons enjoy the many games Fund, at the county fair. We Were Just Walkin’ in the Rain A tradition for many years, the St. Mary’s County Fair was a place for area kids to go. There were rides, exhibits, vendors and lots of food. Most students preferred playing the games. Despite rain and mud all three days of the fair, those braving the weather had a good time. Junior Cindy Hall was St. Mary’s County Farm Queen, with Princesses Senior Kaye Quade and Senior Colleen Cusic. In order to be in the parade you had to make a float. The farm queen float was an old wagon with hay inside containing little displays of tractors and pigs. It was pull- ed by horses and won second place in the float competition. Senior Joyce Stasch represented CHS for Queen of Tolerance contest.
