Her tragic death inspired the Student Council to proclaim the annual polio drive. The Gay Sundholm Memorial Drive. This is the only fund raising project sponsored by the high school. On January 20, at 10 a. m., the student body dug deep and contributed $725.11. Contributions were given on a competitive basis, senior homeroom 102 led with an average of S2.10 per person. Last year the school raised $518.00 tow T ard the fund. Cuney Kaiser and Mickey Petro¬ vich played a waiting game, as did many other homerooms, and rushed to the office with their money in the last moments of the drive hoping to have the largest total. STUDENTS DIG DEEP TO GIVE FOP GAY Miss Irwin and Mr. Allison are helping the students count the money collected in our school drive and list the totals from the various homerooms.
