RJR 'S TUD NTS ' GET I VOL VED 20fFeatures Each year many of the service clubs at Reyn- olds hold fundraisers and drives to help serve our community. The RJR Key Club holds an annual Canned Food Drive, starting around October and ending on Thanksgiving. During this time, each service club requires its mem- bers to donate a certain number of cans. Not only do service club members participate but the entire student body gets involved. The cans go to Crises Control, which then distributes them to needy families. The Industrial Arts Club sponsers a Toy Drive which brings toys to needy children at Christmas. The club works hard after school to repair the toys and orga- nize them in boxes. The service clubs also par- ticipate in projects such as working at Red Cross, ushering at the Stevens Center, cleaning their courtyards and the school grounds, pick- ing up trash along Runnymeade, Soup Kitchen, helping with Christmas Clearing House, and working at The Mental Health Center. The student body at RJ Reynolds uses many oppor- tunities to spread the joy that is found at Reyn- olds. The tradition continues as we help the community in every way possible. Eric Freeman concentrates on Hxing toys to be sent to needg children.

THE FAIR C MES AGAI The Annual Dixie Classic Fair came to Winston-Salem Octo- ber 3-10. Many R.J. Reynolds students at- tended having fun and excitement. The fam- ous sights and smells of the fair brough back memories of last years fair. There were many spectular shows and rides to be enjoyed. One brilliant ride was the Double Ferris wheel which was an awesome sight to see at night, Another popular ride with the students was the Pirate which was in the form of a pirates' ship and swayed back and forth. The fair pro- vided many delicious foods to be eaten. A fa- vorite was cotton can- dy, The animal display was not as big a show this year as in years past, but many students enjoyed visiting Rad- cliffe, the friendly mon- key. Although the air was not as crisp this year, many Reynolds students turned out for the fair and all in all had a great time. 22X Features
