I .4 Andrew Tilley JINCLE BELL ROCK: Andy Mueller and Courtney Porter start the Christmas season off right by attend- ing the semi-formal Christmas dance held on Decem- ber 19. Student Leadership Committee reduced the price of the dance if couples brought in two cans of food for Crisis Control. SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER: Kendra Hege, a member of Anchor Club, is delivering a Christmas candy cane to Kim Couthen. The Anchor Club was very busy during the holidays with the Mr. Turkey contest and the candy cane delivery service. Rob Harris GIVING IN TO THE HGLIDAYS By Merrily Taylor is the season to be concerned for others was how the holidays could best be described last year. Stu- :lents were very receptive to the idea of gifts and giving. During Thanksgiving, over three times as many canned goods were brought in for Crisis Control as last year. Just before Christmas the Anchor Club sold a record number of candy canes also. Students pur- :hased these candy canes to be sent out to :lose friends and special teachers. This helped us to remember what the holidays were really all about. The Girls Service Club and the Anchor Club co-sponsored the Mr. Turkey con- test, a canned food drive. Mrs. Esposito, the GSC sponsor, came up with the idea about three years ago. She wanted to get students involved in helping the needy. Mrs. Esposito commented on last year's drive, It was a tremendous success be- :ause of teacher and student willingness. Exactly 1,852 cans of food were brought in. Andrew Tilley, the GSC nominee, was :rowned Mr. Turkey' with 246 votes. Rick Zeitvogel would have been crowned for the Anchor Club with 272 cans, but he was unavailable. Rick was called out of his fifth period class the day Mr. Turkey was crowned. He had to go to Regional Airport and pick up his grandmother. Be- cause he was not present for the crowning, he had to forfeit. Andrew Tilley, second runner up, then became Mr. Turkey 1986? Many other clubs participated in the contest. The Student Leadership Commit- tee, the Key Club, the French and Spanish Club, and FBLA were among them. Tom Murray, SLC's nominee, com- mented At first I was a little embar- rassed. Nobody likes to be called a tur- key . But when I realized it was all just for fun, things eased off, and it became more like a game. When I was nominated to represent the Anchor Club for Mr. Turkey, it made me feel good knowing that someone want- ed me to represent their club, was how Rick Zeitvogel put it. Mr. Turkey was a huge success for students and for the people who received the food during the holidays. Christmas was also a time for giving and celebrating. The Anchor Club sold candy canes during the second week in Decem- ber. Over 2,000 were bought and delivered to students just before the Christmas holi- days. This was a chance to let those special friends know they were appreciated. A Christmas delivery service was pro- vided by the Student Leadership Commit- tee. They delivered Christmas cards and presents throughout the last week of school before the Christmas vacation. Re- ceiving a gift or card was always a nice surprise. The Zephyr staff also did something for December. Christmas messages were sold for 50c a piece during lunch and through some English classes. The messages were printed in a special Christmas Greetingsn insert in the December issue. Another event that took place was West Forsyth's first semi-formal Christmas dance. The dance, held on December 19, really started the holidays off right, giving everyone a chance to celebrate and get all dressed up. Looking back on the holidays, students remember all the good things that were done for others here and in the communi- ty. The holidays have always been a time for giving and last year was a true example of that holiday spirit! Holidaysf35
