Belleville, Ill.: With pencil grasped between her toes, Peggy Tefft, 11, goes through a school workbook, brushing up on last year's material as she prepares eagerly for the start of the new school term. In the last four years both of Peggy's arms and right leg have had to be amputated because of cancer. Her mother stated proudly, that she enjoys her school work and her grades have always been good. Peggy commented that her dearest wish is that some day soon, she may be able to visit disneyland.
