Last year's drive raised $9,416.78 for the various charities. Greenfeather combines the efforts of students, faculty and local merchants and citizens. The importance of local support was stressed by Miss Kirkwood. "We depend on local merchants for donations of merchandise for concessions as well as monetary donations," she said. The chairmen also expressed a desire for student involvement. "We would love to have 100 percent involvement of the student body," said Miss Kirkwood. The planned activities include a concert, a Miss Greenfeather contest, a Field Day, the Follies, a movie and a carnival. Greenfeather Week this- year will hold something different.
