Results of the collection were sent to the Orange Home at Jefferson. Bayview Secondary School also co-operated with the Co-ordinated Welfare Committee to provide food hampers. These were distributed through the Oak Ridges and Richvale Lions Clubs. Rumble Transport Among other thin g 5. Richmond Hill High School made both the Orange Home and Thornhaven School for Retarded Children special projects. Chip Martin, president of the students’ council. said that their objective was 125 toys, but they got 200. Chris McPhaden and Bonnie Schram organized the publicity aimed at getting students to leave colorfully wrapped gifts under either of two trees set up in the front lobby for the last two weeks of school before the Christ- mas vacation. But I know that there are many people‘ even today in our “affluent” society, who faced this Christmas with care and anxiety, not only for the day itsef, but also for the days that follow. In our own community. there were a number of such families. and I feel a great pride that many of our young people gave generously of them- selves. and their time and spending money to help these families. For its Christmas project, Bayview Stud- ents’ Council adopted a needy 'family and looked after all its Christmas needs: food. clothing, dec- orations and toys. Gail Allder, Gale Reynolds, Sue Montgomery, Paula Meitz, Bonnie Brickles and Lynda Brocklehurst were most enthusiastic about shopping for clothing for the mother and her five children. Two boys’ classes, 12M and 12N, provided most of the groceries, with the IDS girls looking after the extras. Pat Cillis. who worked on the committee to deliver the provisions remarked: “I found it a very beautiful and re- vealing experience. I had never done anything like this before.” Eric Conroy, shop and art teacher who in- itiated the idea of the toy collection, headed a delegation of thirteen RHHS students who at- tended the Thornhaven morning assembly on December 22. Cathy Bowman. vice-president of Richmond Hill High School Students' Council commented: “Most of us went without knowing what to expect or how to behave. But on our arrival. we found a group of very friendly, happy children. Any barriers that might have existed quicky disappeared and everyone had a really good time. It was an experience I would never have wished to miss.” I don’t have the space to hand out bouquets to all, but I’d like to mention at least a few who worked very hard to see that those less privileged than myself had a merrier Christmas than they expected. I talked to a number of these young people on the phone. and I think you’ll be inter- ested in their activities and remarks. John Moore from the Orange Home attended the Christmas assembly at RHHS and accepted the 150 toys presented to him. In thanking the students for their generosity, he took a few min- utes to explain the work of the Orange Home. To sum it all up, I think it fair to say that quite a number of Richmond Hill’s young people got more out of Christmas this year because they put something of themselves into helping others. This is the way of love. and in these troubled days of war. hatred and strife, we can use quite a lot of that! In fact, the more I think about it. the more I am aware that in a variety of ways, I am more fortunate than those many people who faced Christmas and their children with the sick feeling that Christmas would be just like any other day. Happily, I've never had to face the prospect of having no gifts or of having no special Christmas dinner. This year, I spent Christmas here in St. John’s Convalescent Hospital. It's not the same as being at home. I missed the immediacy of the hustle and bustle of home preparations: the tree being put up and decorated; the colored lights; helping my younger sisters and brother with their gifts; sniffing the appetizing smells of my mother’s baking, and so many, many other good things that make Christmas, especially, such a wonderful home feast. Even so, it was a good day here. The sisters and the nurses did their best to make it a happy day, and we all appreciated their efforts. Add to this the visits from all members of my family and my many friends, and I have to say that it was a very full and a very good day. By CATHY WILSON Christmas 1967 is now history. With it has gone all the anticipation and excitement that built up to Christmas Day itself. Our gifts have been opened, and all the gay wrapping paper, the ribâ€" bons and bows have either been consigned to the fire or set aside for reâ€"use in other ways. And if we’ve minded our manners, we’ve carefully saved all the labels from our gift packages so that we can in the next few days send off our ‘thank you’ notes. I always feel that if people have been thoughtful enough to send me gifts, then I can be thoughtul enough to write my appreciation. This year, I spent Christmas here in St. MODERN HEATED . .
