SMILES ‘They love the attention and they need it’ ver 100 students took time from their class schedules to become involved in the Ames High Volunteer Service. They combined their interests in such things as the environment, teaching and swimming, to make the program successful. Out of the 16 programs set up by a student committee of seven and sponsor Dale Tramp, the Elementary Volunteer Service (EVS) held the most interest. Students volunteering for EVS were able to suggest what school, teacher and course they wanted to help with. Peggy Newell chose to assist with Home Economics at Central Jr. High. “Гтп interested in Home Ec and WE Lë: ык” қ М - ж Lj № А N , 4 A A ۹ HE x ) к CAD 1 V [ ) . a аа а анана С TT а раа UR meme — [ыс ус, I E ЫА KEE helping at Central have me a good idea of how the kids would act.” At the elementary level, Marc Drexler tutored at Fellows. “I like working with children. I remember what it was like in grade school working ahead in math until there was nothing to do. Now I can give them a chance to learn more and continue. Volunteers feel their teaching 15 benificial to both they and those that they help. I think the kids can relate to me better than the teacher, said Newell. “They love extra attention, said Rita Millegan, “апа they need it. After working with EVS for two years, Lynn Baker, a member of the committee, believes some people have the wrong idea about EVS. “People think volunteers just put up bulletin boards, but they should see the smiles ... Project ECO brought volunteers and students together, learning more about the environment from each other. “Tve learned a lot from ECO,” commented Marla Anderson, but ECO helps the kids the most. It gives them somebody they can question and rely on. Although there were many volunteer service projects, they all gave the volunteers a sense of accomplishment. They helped and were helped.
