1962 Church Youth Groups, Club Projects, Volunteer Community Work-- With the passing of forty years, the community has greatly enlarged, as has student participation in it. Many youths belong to church organizations, and some even help to teach Sunday School classes. Furthermore, several school clubs sponsor projects to benefit the community: each day members of High School Red Cross assist at Westside Neighborhood, and at Christmas time the Lettermen's Club carries on a can drive to secure food for needy families. Individual participation in community activities is end- less. Some students are members of Fort Wayne Fine Arts organizations; others belong to Junior Achievement com- panies. Wearing candy-striped uniforms, nursettes help out at various city hospitals; and throughout the city South Side students carrv out jobs as stock boys, secretaries, and sales clerics as they enter the business world while thev continue their education. Junior Achievement gives high-schoolers a taste of industry and business organization. Here prospective customers Linda Newell, Dennis Cook, and Mike Laughlin, view the wares of a J.A. company. Ankle deep in the fruits of their labors, Dave West and Howie Lowden employ themselves in cleaning up the community. 16 One of the many Kellys having part-time jobs after school hours, Pam Himes arranges the stock in the women's department at Penney's.
