DONATING THEIR TIME

ILLUSTRATION: In the wake of the serious damage done to Princess Anne High

School by an arson's fire, many students, like Sarah Harper, left,

Megan Alley and Becky Payne, have used their late starting time and

half-day school day at Celebration Station to help out where needed.

The threesome has spent hours running dittos, sorting papers, making

bulletin boards and working in the science lab for teachers at

Malibu Elementary School and Independence Middle School. ``The

burning of our school was a terrible thing, but it has brought us

together as a unit,'' said Alley, a freshman. `` . . . P.A. High

will survive this set back and be even better.'' Harper is also a

freshman at Princess Anne. Payne is a junior.
