Cindy’s Encounter
(Continued from page 2)
As she lay there she just couldn’t
believe that she had tuberculosis.
What would her friends think?
What would Bob think? Her fath
er walked in finding her in tears.
Sensing what was wrong, he said,
“Cindy, having tuberculosis is
nothing to be ashamed of; around
40 to 60 million Americans are
infected with tuberculosis. With
the right oare you’ll be your self
in a short while.”
Saturday morning calls and cal
lers began pouring in. Cindy realiz
ed that her friends were concern
ed. Promising to visit her they
all wished a quick recovery. That
night Bob dropped biy bringing
her a beautiful bracelet.
Monday morning Mi’, and Mrs.
Sellers drove Cindy to the hos
pital. The doctors explained to
Cindy that her treatment would
consist of rest in bed, drugs such
as isoniazid, streptomycin, and
PAS, and a balanced, wlholesome
diet, properly selected and pre
pared. Surgery was performed to
remove damaged parts of the
lungs, when necessary;. They went
on to explain that it would pro
bably take around eight or nine
montlis for a complete cure.
“Who makes all this passible?”
Cindy wanted to know. The doctor
explained that through the sale
of Christmas seals, research was
made possible. In 1907 Christmas
seals sales were started by Emily
Bissell. Prom this beginning has
emerged the fight against TB to
day.
Cindy’s time in the hospital
passed quickly and in eight months
she was released. With the help of
a tutor she finished high school in
the hospital.
Nqw Cindy is a junior in college
wearing Bob’s fraternity pin. When
Chrisitmas rolls arounds each year
and the sale of Christmas seals
begin, Cindy makes a special effort
to contribute and encourages her
friends to do the same. “Christ
mas seals saved my life,” she says;
“theiyi may save yours”!
Christmas vacation plans vai’y
from working in local stores and
“having a ball” to lengthy trips by
a few lucky individuals.
In answer to the question,
“What are your holiday plans?”
this reporter received most often
the answer, “I don’t know; just
staiji home and have a ball.” Oth
ers answered in great detail, and
some are “all shook up” about
their plans.
—Sophomores Have Variety—
Sophomores Chi-istmas plans are
full of variety with Sue Rudd
planning to go to Kentucky and
Connie Knight to South Carolina
to visit relatives. Pat Wilder said,
‘Let the good times roll”. Harry
Jones wants to give his books to
Santa Claus, and Elizabeth Eng
lish wants Santa to “Bring my
Baby Back to Me.”
—Juniors not Out-Done—
Not to be out done b|y, the under
classmen, the jiaiiors have plans
somewhfit wild in cases such as

stay home and wait for Santa to
