Boys boost famine appeal
PUPILS of Stonyhurst College were delighted by the response from the local
communi ty when they joined in the festive spirit with a spot of carol singing — and collected over £700 to help relieve the famine in Ethiopia.
A group of boys gave up
two evenings and an after noon to exercise thei r vocal cords at local super-
mar ke ts , pu bs and restaurants. Thanks to various other
events held in the last two weeks of term, a grand total of £2,000 has been forwarded to the BBC, which is co-ordinating a famine relief appeal.
