Students To Cooperate
In Yule Gift Project
Miss Sarah Bain Ward, Dean of
Women, announced this week that
Atlantic Christian College stu
dents win be asked to support
the annual project to give gifts
to deserving children in the Wil
son area.
As in the past, gifts wUl be
purchased to be distributed by
the Wilson Jaycees and the Wil
son Recreation Department at a
party on Christmas Eve.
The students will purchase gifts
to be given to a chUd of a designa
ted age. For example, one might
purchase a toy to be given to a
boy seven years old.
As in the past, students will be
asked to spend approximately
$1.00 for the gifts. “If a student
feels that he or she wants to spend j
more than one dollar, gifts for
more than one child should be
purchased,” Miss Ward said.
The annual project of giving
gifts has been a ACC tradition for
some 35 years. Miss Ward pointed
out.
Monday and Tuesday, a table
will be set up in the lobby of the
classroom building where students
may sign up to give the gifts.
I hope that every ACC student
will support this project,” said the
Dean of Women, “for it is a real
privilege to help these deserv
ing children.”
This year, as in the past years,
“Miss Ward is giving away child
ren.”
