Is a member of HS, I was proud to a part of the ilMES project I IS also pleased to ' ow the contribu- ms increased over st years.

At school we ' re col lecting canned goods for needy families in Irving, and besides I can get extra credit. This scene occured throughout the MacAr- thur district during the holiday season. CHIMES (Christmas Helps in Making Everyone Santa) has helped bring in gifts and goods to needy families ever since the program began. This year ' s response to the project surpassed that of previous years. CHIMES was a group effort, as the entire school participated. Each class and club had their own style in the collection of cans.

This eventually paid off when the judging took place. Gilchrist ' s homeroom stole the show by not only win- ning the quantity competition, but also the most decorative box contest. A Coke party rewarded the class for all their hard work. Likewise, the band pooled their resources, overcoming the domination by the Latin Club ' s previous years. Several trips to Sam ' s Wholesale Club aided the musicians in win- ning first place. Latin Club Sponsor Ann Price elaborated, It ' s the spirit of CHIMES that counts, not who wins or loses. Irving Jaycees, in conjunction with the Na- tional Honor Society, organized the event for the three Irving high schools. The results were great this year, stated Troy Grumbine, President of NHS. The Christmas spirit sure did affect our student body this year. I hope it continues to in- crease and help throughout the community. chimes 27
