A Northwood Christmas—Party for Children, Sharing of Presents, Time for Students A Christmas party for the under- privileged children of Springs Valley was one of the activities sponsored by the Student Senate. This type of party is a Northwood tradition begun by former Housemother Elizabeth Colen- so. Senate Secretary Carolyn Sheets was in charge of organizing the party. It quickly became a school-wide pro- | ject as students, organizations and fac- | ulty donated money to buy gifts for | the children. Students donated their | time by baking cookies, buying pres- ents, playing Santa Claus and leading singing. Left Richard Schultz is high on a ladder dec- orating the atrium’s Christmas tree.
