For three days, commencing December De-cember 17 and terminating December Decem-ber 19, money was received in the school office from pupils who voluntarily vol-untarily gave of their "pin" and "candy" money. Red Cross badges bearing the words "I Gave" were issued to those donating to the worthy cause. Similar reaction greeted the mercy call at East and West high schools. |
