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. Rick Ostermeyer, Senior photo by Carolyn Muir CHI ES Rang for the Holidays NHS sponsored the collec- tion of canned goods. Marion Jarrell Mom, do you have any extra canned foods around the house? 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. Above Left: Eric Taylor and Ahemin Emamjomen add their class ' contributions, while Sam Singleton takes count of the cansJphoto by Shane Outlaw Above Center: In the spirit of giving, Jennifer Meese, Darin Anderson, Richard Deggs, and David Cartwright pack away all their collected goods for needy families. pAoro by Teddye Privitt Above Right: Scott Kimmel and Greg Oliver cooperate in counting cans for the Latin Club donation. pAo(o by Teddye Privitt Latin Club sponsored a scavenger hunt, while Eunice Gilchrist ' s class continually reminded and pestered each other throughout December. 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

All W grk A.nd Nn Play Put Moneiflin the Bank Spike ' s wasn ' t the reatest job in the rorld, but it paid ood and I could get ly homework done. John Kile, Senior photo by Marty Colon Merchants supported stu- dents ' employment by of- fering them jobs that did not interfere with school. -I- -i- :-. .3«t 4i («:? ' jwik Greg Pletz Jobs were as diverse as the people themselves, ranging from Summer Morris at Southern Maid Donuts to Traci CrisafuUi at Centerpoint Athletic Club. Clark Solomon sold leather goods for Cardat Leather, Tad Johnson and Julie Vitacca worked for Dillards ' , and Leslie Shackleford, Shannon Lane, and Tonya Eldridge all worked in the food court. Splitting time between school and a job was not easy for these and other students. Finding the time to do homework posed a great problem. Not getting home until late made it difficult for me to get my homework done on time, and done right, reflected Leslie Brown, who worked at Sally ' s Hallmark. Some students were allowed to do homework while working. Solomon remarked, Many times I found myself alone in the store waiting for a customer, so I started taking my homework with me and getting it done. Students used this earned money tor car payments, car maintenance, clothes, dates, school expenses, and college. Dan Shaughnessy, who worked at Kinney Shoes, commented, Most of my money was used for keeping my car running and going out on the weekends. Many students worked full-time during the summer.Sam Dabbous worked at The Egyptian Restaurant during the summer to earn money for college. I can ' t say work- ing in the summer was the greatest, but it let me concentrate on my school work dur- ing the year.
