Volunteering Reaching LII The challenge of serving the community faced us all at Kent Place. For the first time, a volun- teering campaign with the slogan, She who gives, gets was really publicized and promoted. At Christmas we were all asked to bring in gifts wrapped in shoe- boxes to put under the lobby tree and, later, to give to the homeless in our area. Also during the Christmas season, some socialized and played basketball with the mentally and physically handi- capped at Delbarton. Marcy Meenan organized and invited all to join in a successful blood drive in January. At the end of Febru- ary we donated our stuffed ani- mals to an orphanage in Bolivia. Throughout the year volunteer- ing projects included babysitting at Neighborhood House and tu- toring with the Elizabethport Tu- toring program. Other volunteer- ing opportunities such as helping at a KP open house or working in the library at school were also made available. As always, volunteering was spurred on by Mrs. Montgomery and her assisting coordinator, Liz Harrison. Thanks to their success, we expect that next year there will be more willing volunteers than there will be places to fill.

Star 1986 HALLELI JAH. Our goal is to learn enthusiastically and intelligently the music for the Star, which we dedicate with much love and admiration to the Montgomerysw, read the Chorale blackboard. Each Wednesday we trooped into the auditorium to participate in one of Kent Place's most treasured traditions. At the church, the singers, in black bows, carried s'candles . Ensemble played the prelude before the angelic procession of the upper school. Highlights included part of Handel's i'Messiah and the pre- miere of Starred Trilogy composed and conducted by Chorale president Virginia Boyer. With Choraleis gift of balloons and a silver star, we dedicated this special Star to the Montgomerys. THE EVENING BEGINS, below. Virginia Boyer, right, practices for the big night. STAR SCENES.
