Q ' ' I .f-5. .,, if of December as various activities were held that benefitted those in the school as well as those out- side the school. The SCA-sponsored toy drive and blood drive were two activities whose results had lfarlreaching effects for the needy. The Red Cross' i r. ever-present call for blood was responded to by students and staff on December lst. Students who were seventeen and older and over a 110 lbs. were eligible to give blood. Despite a little reluctancy on the part of students, who seemed afraid of the nee- dle, the response was great with the established quota of 90 units exceeded by one unit. ln addition to the blood drive, students brought old toys to their second period classes to be given to less fortunate children. The freshmen led the way by collecting the most toys. Both drives were fine examples of student generosity in helping their fellow man. cont. on pg. 28 QQ- M nf' E l -Scooter Brown gives blood for those in need. .Kristin Hoganson and Ken Mayer get rid of some of that nasty paper work at the blood drive.

. December Ccontj cont. from pg. 26 There were also two activities whose suc- cess aided the classes and organizations. A Holiday Bazaar sponsored by the seniors was held on December ll. The Bazaar gave classes and organizations the chance to earn money by selling various items such as jewelry, ornaments and food. Other attractions included a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, admirably played by Scott Mudd and Karen Martin. On Decem- ber 18 the junior-sponsored winter dance was held. Each event proved to be quite productive for all concerned. ln addition to these activities, the door decorating contest and holiday assembly were held. Throughout the month ideas for the door contest were being formulated by 28 f Student Life sixth period classes. This year's winner was Mr. Bloomingburg's sixth period govern- ment class. Their door consisted of a tradi- tional scene, a Christmas tree with presents under it. The uniqueness ofthe door was in its 3-D effect, a result achieved by using a real tree and presents. Festivities were brought to a close on December 22 with the senior class holiday assembly. During the assembly, the band, orchestra, Madri- gals and choir performed. The drama de- partment presented three skits. An added feature came when seven year old Nu Bi Pham tLittle Flower in Vietnameisel stole everyones heart as she played carols on her violin. The month of December with all its activities certainly presented a fitting close to the '82 year. Nu Bi Pham is reassured b Mr Krasne before er- Y - Y P forming in front of the school. Mr. Bloomingburg, Ted Bohner. Ana Simon and pe- ter Bouras display their award winning door.
