Q Q e would just cut them up and peel the skin off, laughed Ed Lee, while describing his volunteering job at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. Skinning animals one day a week was how Ed Lee, James Campbell, and Peter Ryu spent their summers. Other students found rewarding volunteering exper- iences during the school year at Verdugo Hills Hospital. Duties included transporting patients, delivering news- papers and flowers, and running lab and pharmacy errands. Students expressed a feeling of satisfaction and ac- complishment with their efforts. lt helps make you responsible and reliable. lt's great to brighten some- one's day, commented Debbie von Speierman. lt's pretty fun, l feel good about it. lt's not some- thing l have to do, it's something l choose to do, stated Steve Lee. Rosa Matevosyan added, lt's interesting, l meet lots of kinds of people. The older people like the younger people's influence. Tricia Crane volunteered at Twelve Oaks Retirement Home helping with arts and crafts, l gained an under- standing of how older people think. Through volunteering, students learned responsibil- ity and gained a better understanding of people. More importantly though, they gave of themselves without expecting anything in return. by Elizabeth Ahten 2 Seniors

hough there were some eager beavers in this world who went straight home and happily started on their homework, the majority of the student body hated homework. Unlike Jon Campbell who said, I don't usually have any homework, but when I do, l do what needs to be done, many allowed procrastination to set in and the assign- ment was seldom finished before dark. However, when forced, students found unique times and ways to do their homework. A few believed that they had devised the perfect homework routine. When I go into a class, I ignore the teacher and finish my homework for the previous class, thus having no homework at all. When home- work piles up, l take it home to do it but, never before dinner. You can't study on an empty stomach, and never on Monday nights during the football season, commented senior Cal Man. The goal of many was to get through their homework with as little pain as possible. Junior Mike Johnson also did his homework in class but with a certain flair. I do it as fast as I can! Many followed common procedures to help them complete the dreaded task including using the radio or the T.V. to keep them company on those long, lonely nights of test cramming and last second essay splurges. I do math first, always. Then I finish the rest, but never on Fridays nor Saturdays, it's against my religion, said senior Matt Aldrich. At times, when that extra nudge to complete the work could not be found, homework became purpose- fully forgotten until the last minute. I go home and do whatever, until 11:00 p.m., at which time l only look at my books. I really start my homework 5 minutes before the bell, remarked senior Nathan Brown. Overall, most people seemed to be unenthusiastic about doing their homework. Doing homework com- pared to many like cleaning one's filthy bedroom clos- et, it was tedious, but it had to be done. 1.-25.1. fr, :Www I I ,-w,,m,w --' 3 ,qw w,l.i,tf11, , 'ibii-?M. flg.r1,m i'lillWnyfI3':QviQiisf iJWASEEEQ-'2E1i?i5ie.ie151siirif-'-1: Q -' wr' rim . u,,iw.'r'l:i 1- -1if?-seam-iffezsessiif? 4- m- .'ri'l'M'llW.lJivff w'M' me ,ww,,q.2-z- ,f I. -WWI -iw-7'2 'f'7,:IlS r- we-i.'i:f1r!iL:'i?2gl-Eire? -rwlrailir-iil.rwlrl tmllm.m,l.flmllihrMwin-arse - ' I-www is .
