especially nee. When this re-
porter hears about it, she likes
to PASS it on to you. l am sure
that any of you readers who have
tried to solicit help for organiza.
ton, clubs, etc, realize the neces-
sity of cooperation from all con-
cerned. There was a parent by
the name of Lloyd Blankenbaker
who devoted a week, took annual
leave from his position, to help
with the annual Christmas Tree
Sale which was sponsored by the
Richard Montgomery High School
PTA and the Lone Oak PTA. To
my way of thinking that kind of
cooperation warrants publicity.
incidentally, proceeds were better
than $1,000, and we think THAT
Is terrific too!
BY the way, did you know that
.Basketbalr' is under way now.
You parents should come out and
support our boys. We heard that
RMHS really has terrific team
this year. Thought you might be
interested in the schedule for the
remainder of the month of Jan
uary, and now that the season Is
in full swing, / am sure the boys
would like you parents to come
root for them.

VARSITY played Walter Johnson
