We, the Seniors of George Washing¬ ton High School, dedicate our 195 6 annual to the memory of our fellow schoolmate. Max Campbell. Max lost his life as a result of a blow received in a football scrimmage game. He was a friend to us all and we will cherish his memory. The Max Campbell Fund In the late fall members of the Boosters’ Club, a civic organization, and members of the G. W. Monogram Club conducted a city-wide fund raising drive for the purpose of present¬ ing some worthwhile contribution in memory of Max. With the cooperation of WDVA, a lights on’’ night was held in which partici¬ pants picked up donations from houses where the porch lights were burning. All the pro¬ ceeds from the programs at the Warwick game went to the fund, as did the profits from the food and drink concessions. The latter was through the courtesy of the Schoolfield Teen- Age Club and Danville merchants. The Monogram Club itself contributed one hundred dollars from its treasury. Many neigh¬ boring schools mailed in contributions through their principals. In all nearly three thousand dollars was raised. Max’s family is to decide how this is to be used as a fitting memorial. Already they have contributed an oxygen tent to the Life Saving Crew, who gave such in¬ valuable help during Max’s illness.
