Don Wentz and Joann Cecere admire the Parents' Maga- zine Youth Group Achievement Award presented to Washington. This award was presented for outstanding achievements in the community. This was a real honor for Washington since there were over 3,000 Youth Groups nominated throughout the United States and Canada and of those only about 300 received the award and Washington came in among the top ten. Some of the many projects under- taken to receive this award wereg Recreational Therapy at Dixmont State Hospital, Parties for the Children of St, Anthony's Home for Exceptional Children, making toys for orphanages, and perhaps the largest and most demanding task of all was the rewiring of a house at Dixmont. This house became known as the Half-way House and it was here that patients on the road to recovery became used to the routine of daily living and doing things for themselves. The Red Cross Club is truly one of Washington's and Arsenal's biggest assets and it really does a job in making our schools a better place to attend. gr,: f if B Z1 YN w, 'o O I ,tet :Q 'JW 1' Q CQ

And as a citizen they learn of the problems of others, their needs and wants, tragedies and sorrows and how they can re- lieve some of these problems.
