Some of our money- making projects were selling Christmas cards, everyday cards, McComb Panther shirts, concessions at basketball games, a round and square dance, and our class play, Mr. Beane From Lima, directed by our class advisor Mrs, Ensign, who so willingly helped us make all of our projects become huge successes.
