again tops United Wa Drive For the fifth consecutive year the students at Northwest have donated the most money to the annual city-wide United Way Drive. Although the Grizzlies did not meet their school goal of 1S2,400, they still topped other schools with a final donation of 32,281 Working together for United Way was just one way that the students at Northwest were able to work together in unity, said Marilyn Ramsey, United Way faculty spon- sor. Traditional fund-raising events such as class competitions, spirit chains, and assemblies were featured during the week of October 11-14. Innes Villalpando's second hour Spanish class won the class competi- tion by donating 5136, an average of 39 per student. To raise the money, the class sold donuts and cupcakes throughout the week. They also took up a collection each day con- sisting only of spare change, no dollar bills were allowed to be donated. At 10 cents a link, the junior class accumulated enough links to have the longest spirit chain worth 5182. Numerous intra-class competitions were common during the annual drive. Se- cond hour classes would challenge each other to a contest with the class donating the least money providing pizza or other food items to the winning class. A special time was set aside after the competition for the two classes to get together for the party. An Anything-Goes Assembly featuring numerous class competition activities pro- duced a last minute collection totaling over 5280. Shoe scramble, balloon hop, jelly beans in flour and foot races were a few of the activites which entertained both students and faculty. SZ' ln an effort to get the most jelly beans for his team, junior Tom Rhodes digs his way to the bottom ofa pan filled with flour and colorful jelly beans. Showing their class spirit, members of the senior class let out a cheer after winning a competitive event in the United Way assembly. ln a mad dash, members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes rush to find their shoes from the huge pile of shoes in the middle of the gymnasium floor. In this event you work by yourself in the search for your shoes. 102 ' United Way
