One size fits all. This year the Student Organization held many fund- raising activites. They sponsored two disco nights, a jacket day, a movie night, 'and many cake sales. SING tee shirts were sold before and during SING. The motivation be- hind all these activities was to raise money to be used by the teams to purchase new sports equipment and for some of the S.O. activities. jacket day gave many students the opportunity to buy a school jacket. They came in several styles, so students had a choice. At movie night, the popular movie, Tommy was shown. Both were great successes. The cake sales were the most popular fundraising activi- ties. All the cake and cookies were donated and a 100 percent profit was made. The cake sales were held sev- enth and eighth periods and by the beginning of eighth they were usually sold out. Each cake sale made between 520 and 530. Dr. Friedman instructs Emily Miao and Violet Chew to Open wide. Doesn't that look yummy? i Umm, Umm, Good.
