When time came for the Class of 1982 to decide on the senior gift, we wanted to present a gift which would be everlasting, one which would be an asset to the school, a gift which would stand out among others, and something that would make us proud. After much thought and discussion, we decid¬ ed to purchase a new school sign. The project would be an expen¬ sive one, but the class knew that if we worked together as in previous years, the funds could be raised. As soon as the decision was made, we immediately began to search for fund raisers. Our first project, trying to sell 275 pennants was a flop. From here we moved on to selling candy and doughnuts where our profits rapidly in¬ creased. During our Junior year, the student body bought a total of 8,184 doughnuts. We sold 720 Reese’s cups, 1,604 sweetart hearts, 8,280 peanut M and M’s, 3,744 lifesaver suckers, not to mention 21,996 plain M and M’s. To break the monotony, we sold individual balloons and balloon bouquets for Valentine’s Day. (372 balloons were seen floating around the school.) Letters and messages were also delivered. We continued our candy sales with chocolate bunnies for Easter. Roses and carnations were or¬ dered for Mother’s Day. With almost $1,200 in the bank in early June, the school sign was finally ordered. The sign, shipped on June 17, weighed 600 pounds. The marble mass had to be placed on wheels in order to transport it to the school garage. Arrange¬ ments were made in early fall for the brick work, and on October 17, 1981 the sign was completed. Our efforts had paid off. We, the Graduating Class of 1982, leave this gift as “A Sign of Our Love”. CHRISTIAN SCHOOL woodland CHRISTIAN SCHOOL 12 Senior Gift
