A segment of the Senior class, known more for socializing than contributing to school activities, was the total organization and ef- fectivness of a February charity basketball game, pitting the WEAM jocks- against eight Seniors and three Redskins. Often considered the uninvolved students, the guys introduced and executed the suc¬ cessful fundraiser for the D.C. Children ' s Hospital, sponsored by the Senior class. A remarkable turnout saw the three Redskins, Roy Jefferson, Willy Holman and Larry Willis, given to the WEAM Jocks for the second half after the powerful Seniors took an early lead. The charity game resulted in three-hundred dollars for the hospital, as the reward for much appreciated time and effort. 36

Campus Life draws crowds Campus Life was alive and active at Marshall. Meeting at volunteered homes, the Christian organization strove to combine good clean fun, good entertainment, plus some serious thoughts to help guide teenagers through life. Area sponsor, Ron Jenkins, exerted the driving force in organizing activities, affecting Marshall students by his presence. He believed in his work and what he was teaching, which made it easier for teenagers to listen and to understand. For students more interested in bible interpreta¬ tion, there was a special branch of Campus Life called Insight. Weekly meetings were forums for discus¬ sions led by Ron.
