The girls, ages 18 months and 3 months, are too young to know about Christmas trees. Maybe that's just as well, their mother says. They won't miss presents they aren't expecting. All the children need winter clothes coats, pants, sweaters, hats and shoes. The boys would love board games or sports equipment, but say they know there won't be any Santa Claus for them this year.

Let's prove them wrong. Operation Holiday and Daily Record readers can be Santa Claus for Marianne's children.

The controversy over the contracts arose after student council adviser Colleen Kehler told seven students in October that they were off the council because they didn't submit their contracts despite numerous reminders. She made her decision after consulting with Principal James Riccobono, and on Tuesday other faculty spoke at the meeting in support of Kehler's action. Board member Eskil Danielson said yesterday it was up to the school administration to make a decision on the students.

But the board didn't act on requests by some parents at the meeting to reinstate the seven student council members. Parent David Togno, whose daughter, a sophomore, was dismissed from the council, said yesterday the penalty was too harsh.

He said that while the contract was enforced for council members, he knows of students in other activities who didn't submit contracts, yet were allowed to participate. Togno said he was a member of the board of education in 1990 when dent council in October for failing 'W' turn in signed, so-called participant contracts that include pledges taponduct themselves in a "proper rtfanner" and not use drugs or alcohol. The students will not be reinstated despite the policy change, officials said. -Since September 1990 a signed agreement had been required for students taking part in sports; cheerleading or other extracurricu-14f activities. Board of education members voted unanimously Tuesday night tgend the practice, saying that rules pertaining to activities will be outlined in student handbooks instead.
