Christmas Has Special
Meaning For Jerry Allison
By Lucy Laughter
ANDREWS - Christmas
takes on a special meaning
this year for Jerry Allison.
Jerry is a victim of cancer.
Although he has spent much
time in hospitals undergoing
treatment since 1961, he has
kept a cheerful outlook and al
ways gives his visitors ad
miration for his courage and
understanding heart.
Jerry, a graduate of
Nantahala High School, is
the first and only boy to be
valedictorian of a graduating
class at Nantahala. He play
ed basketball three years and
was manager of the team his
senior year. His parents are
Mr. and Mrs. Odeen Alli
son, and he has two brothers,
Terry, 16 and Randy 9. His
sister, Sandy, 14, is playing
basketball this year for Nanta
hala.
This past week Jerry was
taken on a pleasure trip, when
he returned to Nantahala High
School for a bsketball game.
Sandy was one of the particular
reasons that Jerry wanted to
go to the game, as she was
playing on the girl's team.
Transportation from And
rews District Memorial Hos
pital where he is presently a
patient, was by ambulance,
courtesy of I vie Funeral
Home. Hubert Walker, Mrs.
Brenda Reece, a nurse who
used her day off to care for
Jerry at the game, and Thad
May, accompanied him on the
trip.
Jerry's illness has made
him realize that the joys of
Christmas comes to men with
love-filled souls.
His experience has impres
sed him with the fact that
Christ's life makes a differ
ence and he never fails to
witness for Him.
Christinas should always
make a dif erence. It is a time
for joyful sharing and that Is
Jerry Allisons' daily life- - -
The Christmas portions of
Handel's "Messiah", will be
given on Sunday evening Dec
ember 20, at 7:30 p.m. by the
