SCA president Tim Knight awards Robin Rattley the record album of the week. SCA serves community; reopens supply store; shows cultural films. r he Student Cooperative Associa- tion was marked by a strong desire to be huge success. This spirit which began with the sophomore orienta- tion continued throughout Stunt Night and the showing of Edgar Allen Poe films. The following accomplishments are an exposition of how well this goal was achieved. Service projects which extended into the community included a collection of toys for tots and a large donation for the WGH Christmas Fund. Out- reached hearts that helped a needy family also donated over ninety pints of blood. To make money with which to set up and enact the many annual produc- tions, dedicated members sold Charm Pops and donuts. Large profits pro- vided needed funds for activities, such as the Dating Game and Stunt Night. Homecoming was cited as “the best in years” and for the first time since busing began, one of the senior court was crowned queen. “Church” set the beat for the first “After Exam Jam”, and teachers made a joke out of the WGH jockeys at the Joke Basketball Game.” A visit to nearby elementary schools and hand outs of candies and goodies by Santa Claus put kids in the holiday mood. The previously defunct school supply store was supplied and refurbished and opened as “Lex’s Supply Store.” Voter registration and voting machines were part of the SCA organized “matured elections procedure.” SCA EXECUTIVE BOARD.
