Projects For Funds
To Decorate Lobby
“Get your fudge and seafoam
candies, cup cakes, cookies and
brownies” could have been the
call of Good Sports members last
week as they worked to raise
money for Christmas aecorations
for the auditorium lobby.
Nancy Harlow, official candy
maker, trudged from Janet Bul-
luck’s home to t^'arol Wilson’s and
Linda Gail Pridgen’s houses, stii’-
ring up batches of seafoam, the
most popular article.
Evei^ij morning the 'girls put up
a table in A buliding and sold the
products for a nickel a package.
Just about every student was seen
muncl’.ing on a piece of candy or
cake in the momiiig and during
lunch.
Profits from the sale were pleas
ing and helped the members raise
sufficient funds for their annual
Christmas projects. It has been
customary for the Good Sports
Club to sponsor the gaily lighted
tree, huge enough in size to be
seen plainly from the street. It is
an attraction which not only stu
dents taut the entire town ma,y en
joy during the holidays.
Another project the club has
taken on the raise money has been
the selling of Curtis cookies in
four dirrereni flavors — coconut,
chocolate chip, butter finger and
baby ruth. The club received $1.68
on each twelve boxes sold.

Lunch Staff Busy
On Holiday Meals
Busy with Chi-istmas meal pre
parations, Mrs. Grace Proctor,
cafeteria director, said that plans
for tomorrow and Thursday have
not yet been completed but it is
definite that turkey will not be
served.
Among other lunches served by
the cafeteria staff spaghetti proves
to be the favorite meal of the
students and hot dogs rate second
in popularity, according to Mrs.
Proctor.
“Donuts,” says Phil Harris.
“Spaghetti and hamburger” are
among Carolyn Yount’s favorites.
“Meat loaf and spaghetti” take
finst place with senior Pasty
Daughtridge.
“Everybody enjqy,ed the turkey
which was ser\’ed on Veteran’s
Day,” claims Vicki Taylor also a
senior.
Besides the regular meals, fruit
salads, sandivviches, hamburgers
and deserts, such as cakes, cookies,
candies and puddings, are pre
pared daily.
