vs, write on my hand. Ms. Barbra receives a pen from FTA'er Larin as part of the week-long service Teacher Appreciation Week. Helping, giving unselfishly Each year, many dedicated students devote hours of their time to doing things for others. 1977-78 was no dif- ferent where service projects were concerned. Almost 100 band students started practicing without the supervision of a director, a month before school began. In addition,the Jazz Band performed several times for the student body. The cheerleaders and the drill team commenced learn- ing cheers and routines long before the first day of school came around. Once the doors of MacArthur Senior High swung open, people willing to give of themselves increased in number. As early as Halloween, VICA, DECA, VOE-OEA, HERO, FHA students showed their concern by dressing up in crazy costumes and joining some Aldine students to put on a Carnival at Lane Center, a school for physically hand- icapped and mentally retarded children. Those students who didn't work at one of the many game booths or serve refreshments helped the children play games and look around. .I Q f' An apple a day.
