Community service means lending a hat do Christmas trees, Bingo, and ji Tijuana trips have A A in common? Well they were all part of a caring spirit that some students experienced while taking part in community service. Bettering the community through club participation was an extra feature, adding both self- satisfaction and a feeling of care for those whose lives were touched in some way. The Service Club took part by playing Bingo with elderly people at a convalescent home. As senior Barbara Campbell said, They appreciate us coming because it makes everyone feel good. l think I get more out of it than they do. Also contributing to the spirit of giving was the National Honor Society who delivered gifts to the needy for Christmas. The gifts, which included food, toys, clothes, and Christmas trees were contributed by the students in the club. One NHS member, senior Fabian Kralian, helped to deliver the presents, I became very aware of their need when we gave them the Christmas tree and it took up half of their house. Indeed, experiencing the poverty of another shocked many who were involved. The Spanish club contributed to the community spirit in a different way. Like NHS, they gathered a bundle of gifts, and took a trip to Tijuana, Mexico, to deliver the toys to a small orphanage. They spent the day playing, singing, and talking to the children in Spanish. This gave the students an opportunity to enhance their Spanish skills as well as to interact with another culture. As senior Jun Akiyama said, lt was so weird driving there. There is such a difference between the roads here and the roads there. We have much more money than they do. CSF did their part by singing Christmas carols at the Twin Oaks and Montrose convalescent homes during the holidays. The main goal of the club was to bring a little holiday cheer to the elderly at Christmas time. lt was sort of sad walking through the halls but it brightened their day and mine, commented senior Kim Grover. Once again, giving proved to be the payoff to students involved in community service clubs. Helping others gave many students memories filled with a sense of accomplishment and happiness. by Stephanie Bente Before delivery NHS senior lui member Steve Linkchorst wraps some slippers for a Christmas gift for the needy. histle while you work!

1ngle!Jangle! Clunk??? Although these noises were harsh to the normal ear, they were delightful for the club members who sponsored fundraisers. These noises represented the steady trinkle of coins into the club account. Faced with the limited capital from membership dues, clubs had to resort to fundraisers for the extra cash. More often than More than dollars and cents that these fundraisers were equally beneficial to both the club and the students. As senior Heidi Svensson stated, Most of the time, clubs have bake sales for fundraisers. These are the best because l don't have to buy stale school-made cookies but fresh ones. Besides the routine bake sales and jog-a-thons, there was Computer Dating. Annually sponsored by the Sophomore Class, this fundraiser truly was an indicator of modern times. Although this service was open to anyone who took the required personal questionaire, people had to pay a modest 51.50 for a list of the ten most compatible mates in the school. Most students did not take the results seriously, but found the survey amusing. I know l'll never get together with anyone on my list, but it's fun to know who are my most compatible mates, concluded senior Gabrielle Scheidig. All in all, fundraisers played an important role in a student's life. Besides being an easy way to earn money for clubs, they also served as a bakery, charity outlet, dating service, and most importantly a break in the often humdrum school day. by Gloria Tae 'Q Q., W f-9- ' YV, 040' 'Q-Qi...
