Thorn Township High School Club Sponsors Yale Welfare Project
The Home Economics club at Thorn Township High School in Harvey sponsors its annual welfare project to dress dolls and stuff toys for needy children at Christmas. For more than ten years the club has carried this out, with 65 members this year and a plan to make more toys than before. In recent years dolls have become scarcer and pricier, so the girls focus more on stuffing animals.
