Sherwood High
Backs The Attack

Sherwood High School of Sandy
Spring, has done another great job.
This school being assigned slightly
over eight thousand dollars has
gone far beyond that amount by
placing at the disposal of the gov
eminent $4,000. This amount in
cludes the entire school, elementary
and high school.
This splendid job was done with
out formal bond rally. 1t was
necessary to call this off due to
sickness in the community. The
Sixth Grade won individual home
room honors with total of $1O,-
325. Henry Harris took top hon
nors as a student having turned in
$5,025. Ann Wilson came in for a
close second with $3,45O, while
Barbara Martin a Senior sold $2,-
900. The largest bond sold was
$5000.00
Total bonds handled by the school
this year has been $4,000. The
Bond Committee in the school is
composed of the following students
Clara Liska, Louise Harding, Kath-
crime Kimbal, Loretta Carroll.
These girls have done wonderful
job and deserve much honor. n
all this money handling not one
cent has been lost or a single mis-
count made.
For the Bond Drive, Mrs. Ann
Boyd, of the Elementary Faculty
acted as chairman. Mrs. Boyd did
an outstanding piece of work. She
injected just the right amount of
zeal into all the different groups
to put the task over. Sherwood
stands by for the next war effort.
