invent something new: a club for students who just want to help others. Service Club started with a few people who cared and then quickly grew, The first major pro- ject these students did was giving a complete Christmas to a family of twelve who otherwise wou1dn't have had one. Cookies were made for the Children's Receiving Home once a month, books were sent to service men overseas, and more services were offered to other people and organizations. The new club was off to a good start for a successful future. Members of the Service Club, pre- paring the Christmas basket, were ion floory: K. Moniz, A. Carstensen, and P, Brown. At desks: E. Kent, P. Balaszy, D. Lopez, and L. Loy. Buying a perfect little tree fbelow rightj for a less fortunate family is a hard task, as some of the Service Club members find out. Dorothy Lopez and Laura Loy fbelow leftj are pleased to find a good variety of canned foods brought in by members for the Christmas basket. Helpful ands,
