A Sportive Winter Weekend Added A whirlwind of gala winter fun-flurries beginning Feb. 18 set Fort Lewis to canvassing Durango, its own campus and the surrounding community to pile up $2,307.56 for further contribution to La Plata Heart Fund Assn. Fort Lewis ' emphasis of Heart Fund Week- end has resulted froin an occurrence that dates back some 12 years to 1948. In that year Durango resident Harry Silver was called upon to organize a La Plata County Heart Fund Drive. He did so, and he turned primarily to the small junior college known as Fort $2,300 to Heart Fund Lewis A M asking it to serve as inspiration for the drive through student participation and student ex- ample. In door-to-door solicitations that first year, Fort Lewis volunteer workers collected $1,600; the school ' s contribution each winter has increased until 1966 when student and community donations to campus representatives topped the $2, .300 mark. Mr. Silver and his wife, both subsequent victims of heart disease, doubtless would be pleased with the manner in which Fort Lewis has taken up the gauntlet. Spirit King Vic Knight, right, and Spirit Queen Cheryle Christensen, be- low, reigned over Heart Fund Week- end activities following a popular vote by the student body. Queen Cheryle Christensen stands in awe as Martin SoUars sets the crown proclaiming her spirit royalty. Spirit king and queen selection was under the auspicies of student senate at the investigation of the yell squad. Each affili- ated club on-campus selected one nominee. Student senators conducted a primaiy election Feb. 18. For queen it was Mary Lou Macy, Sandy Nicholson and Cheryle Christensen and Larry Taylor, Mike Wes- brooks and ' ic Knight out front for kingship.
