NHCHAEL T. GREGORY C. WILLIAM T. JAMES H. JOSEPH J, MC GUCKEN MC NAUL MC QUAIDE NEEISER NEELIA Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It's all too easy to say this when you're a wellrfed, healthy, middle class suburbanite enjoying the Christmas season. But what if you're a starving, disease -ridden slum dweller. It's not so easy then. In fact it's really difficult to find at Christ- mas spirit when you have to feed nine children on a welfare check. The class of '68 was quick to recognize this and to effect its solution. Moeller High School has established many traditions in its few years of existence. But few share the significance and the importance of the Poor Family Project. Each year at Moeller the indi- vidual homerooms adopt their own poor family within the Greater Cincinnati area. The members of the homerooms then collect and give to their family a wide variety of food stuffs and other gifts. Once again the class of '68 assumed the role of school leader and piloted the student body in their efforts. As e result Christmas became a happier occasion for many needy people in the area. The spirit of Christmas was also manifested in other ways at Moeller. The homerooms, adorned in the trimmings of the Yuletide season, provided the most Visible reflection of the spirit. But Visible signs weren't really needed for you could almost feel the gaiety of the students. The Christmas assembly, which featured selections presented by the band, marked the beginning of the Christmas holidays. The merry thoughts of the Christmas season soon began to fade as the students began to realize that with the new year came the mid -term exams. But to the seniors the new year meant some - thing else. For this was no ordinary year. It was 1968, the year of supremacy, the final reigning year for the class of '68. 52
