Overlea's Student Council went into the community, found a need, and fulfilled it. The object of the campaign was to get an ambulance for the Overlea-Rosedale Com- munity. A variety of competitive activities, such as a turtle race and a tug-of-war were planned in order to raise the established goal of SBLU00. The entire student body, in a gigantic effort, contributed nickles, dimes, and quarters as individual dona- tions as well as support to the activities. Never before in its history have Overlea students directed their efforts to one end the way they did for this proj ect. An inter-club contest was set-up with a trophy received by the organization con- tributing most to the success of the drive. The Senior Class walked away with the trophy as a result of their Hootenanny, which served as the finale for the Ambu- lance Drive. It is conjectured that the en- thusiasm for the drive may have stemmed from senior Bill Swiftfs agreement to get his plentiful curls sheared. Not only did the school reach its goal, but far surpassed the expected amount, turning over as unprecedented sum of 31,600 421.1 'wurllfi K 9 ' 'wt ft KW, M Mr. Jones, a representative of the Lions Club, presents President Charlotte Lenz with a picture of the ambulance tha! the school helped Rosedale to ac- quire.
