This foursome finds itself at home in the halls of William Fleming, changing classes, comparing homework loads, discussing favorite teachers. What makes this foursome unique is its composition - a father, two daugh- ters, and a son. Mr. Jimmie Deel. a junior. is Fleming's oldest student, having re- turned to school after an absence of some eighteen years. I had wanted to finish high school for a long time, said Mr. Deel but I didn't have the time or the money. The employee of Veterans' Hospital knew that a high-school diploma could get him a better job. l decided to take the step. I told my family, and then l plunged in. Mr. Deel's admission that he has a pretty busy day is an understatement. He goes to school from 8:30 until 1:45 and then starts to work from 3:30 until mid- night. His schedule includes two classes of English. government, General Business. and Industrial Cooperative Training fl.C.T.l. Occasionally, he gets some studying done on the job, but usually he burns the mid- night oil way after his son Freddie la seniorl and daughters Vicki la juniorl and Cindy Ca sophomorel are sleeping soundly. Making the adjustment wasn't that bad though, he laughed. What was a shock was the way today's students differ from those he went to school with almost two decades ago. Their priorities are different, he said. They have more money than we did, and cars are more important to them. But in spite of the differences, he added, it's great to be back. Juniors 159

a paycheck he can't cash To most people, the word Red Cross means digging in pockets for nickles and dimes once a year during homeroom. For others, it means awaiting the jab of a needle on Blood Donorama Day. For junior Kim Williams, the Red Cross means far more. A Publicity Coordinator for the Eastern District Youth Service Program, Kim spends almost sixty-five per cent of his time working as a volunteer in one Red Cross program or another. l don't bother to mark down all the time I work at the Red Cross building because I would fill up a couple of pages a week, he said. Kim said that the adults give the youth a large part in the Red Cross because they feel that today's Red Cross young people are tomorrow's Red Cross direc- tors. His activities range from volunteer- Herman Lewis Ymelda Lewis Andy Long Thomas Lowery Keith Lugar Lori Lynch Sherree Macklin Daisy Manns Torey Manns Amy Martin Brenda Mason Debbie Matthews Tim Maxey James Mays Edward McCraw Martha McCray Hal Meador Timmy Miller Melissa Minnick Carolyn Moore Jeff Moore Johnnie Moore Mike Moore Sammy Morris A y 5, 160 Juniors ing for work on Blood Donorama Day to caring for the injured and dying in a mock disaster at Huff Lane Elementary School. He has helped construct a float celebrat- ing the twenty-fifth year of the Red Cross Blood program. At Addison Junior High. he organized an active Junior Red Cross chapter. He has also welcomed Viet- namese war refugees to Roanoke. Hi: newest responsibility is photographing Red Cross events, a job he shares with senior Doug Holland. Although Kim's mother says she never sees him anymore. Kim feels that the Red Cross has given him far more than the time he has given it. I may not have a check to cash every two weeks, but know- ing I am helping others by volunteering is a different kind of paycheck. 1 5 , mf' '. QM vi? 3 EL J , was 'D iiSx9N I K .
