Community fervice :hown bg R cl Gran. Tolkien The Tolkien Society is known for its appreciation of the famous J.R.R. Tolkein's works, just as the Red Cross Club is known for its community services. But, like the Red Cross, the Society donated some of its time to a public service project. Red Cross began the year with a November food drive. According to Advisor Sue Peters the amount of canned goods collected was more than we've had in the past two or three years. During December a coin- toss was held in the cafeteria to gain money for filling bags to be used as Christmas presents. Packed with books, candy and jewelry, they brought cheer to the children during the holidays. A fund-raiser was ar- ranged in order to send members to the leadership camp on Scouter's Mountain, and the annual blood drive was held in April. Jenny Megyesi, voicing the enthusiasm of the club, said, It's not a waste of our time. We do help peoplef, ina.. Summing up the feelings of the Tolkien Society, Master Don Carper stated, We are people who have a mutual understanding and feeling for Tolkienis mythology for the British Isles and show this by meet- ing and discussing it between ourselvesf, In addition to this, the Society contributed to the United Way by sponsoring a fund-raiser in the form of a Dungeons and Dragons game held at member Karen Smith's house. Other activities included a Yule banquet at Christ- mas, a gathering commemorating the birthdays of two of Tolkien's main characters, Frodo and Bilbo, and a banquet on March 13th celebrating the conclusion of the War of the Ring. During Betty Lindsay's sabbatical leave Jim Hanna acted as advisor, and membership was good. Mayor Cindy Harmon reported, We had five new freshmen join this year. il ., i RED CROSS-FRONT: Katherine Chan, Jennifer Megyesi, Rhonda Wong.
