Sunshine Society U35 The Sunshine Society has been one of the most active organizations of the school this year. Money was earned in different ways to carry on the usual work of the society.

Delegates were sent to the district Sunshine convention held at Thorntown on November 4 and 5. The cheer bags, filled by the girls and distributed on Christmas Eve to the needy children brought joy and happiness to many homes. With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to tit myself to give intelligent service in making the community in which I live a safer and more beautiful place for little children. This, the creed of the Sunshine Society, explains the chief purpose of the organization. Iage Fzfty-one -
