Star Sparkles at SC Task (April 4, 1967)

April 4, 1967

This article, titled "Star Sparkles at SC Task," was published on April 4, 1969 in an unidentified newspaper. It describes the Springfield College work week led by Art Linkletter, a trustee, to raise money for the natatorium. The photograph shows Linkletter assisting with work at the home of John A. Deegan in Springfield College. The more than two hundred and twenty-five students who participated performed a variety of tasks, from trimming hedges to moving telephone poles. During his thirty-house stay, Linkletter made a total of twenty-six appearances throughout the area. He believed so strongly in the need for a natatorium that he sold his house for $250,000 and donated the money to the project.
