Charit Benefited by Sr. Valentine SENIOR HIGH MELVIN HESS 52,047.29 was collected for this year's Sir Valen- tine Contest. Although this contest is now carried on in other schools ot the county, in none has it reached the popularity and success as it has in ours which was originated in i953 by Mrs. Dorothy Ny- strom, our librarian. In this annual Sir Valentine Contest each senior high school class selects one boy to represent it and raises money for their candidate by holding bake sales, selling lollipops, etc. One penny buys one vote, and naturally, the candidate with the most votes becomes Sir Valentine. The junior high contest is much the same, but two candidates are nomi- nated from each class. Although in precious years, all proceeds went JUNIOR HIGH RUSTY LONG to the Lancaster Heart Haven, the money from this year's contest was divided equally among March of Dimes, Red Cross, the Tuberculosis Society, and Heart Haven. This new idea was inctugurated by the Student Council with the backing of the faculty and the student body. The collection jars were still placed in the library, but the contest was handled by the Student Council. Congratulations to all Sir Valentine candidates and especially to Melvin Hess, 9th grade and Rusty Long, 8th grade, Sr. and Jr. High School Sir Valen- tines, respectively, for making it possible for us to surpass our I96l total by 532413. The contest was really lively with Jr. Slave Day, Sr. Dollar Day, and Melvin's Hay Hop. JR. HIGH CANDIDATES Skip Colvin, Mike Sultzbach, Rusty Long, Bob Hamilton. SR. l'llGl'l CANDIDATES Edward Benedick, Harold Landis, Pete Brubaker, Melvin Hess. llsxam'fritrr4es1nmsumfz.mnrztrrart:ifQ' -mtirvs -limit, s ,tufrisr-rr:-, me.12 .l-f.-wfirsfsrrw
