O ' CONNELL SERVICE STATIONS O ' Connellites fully realize that by serv- ing others they are serving themselves. Through bake sales, fashion shows, toy drives, and dances, O ' Connell ' s clubs aid the community and the school. The pur- pose of the clubs is not merely social, for through them the student gains personal enrichment. The amateur scientist receives encouragement in his research and experi- ments, the junior linguist obtains helpful information on the customs and culture of foreign lands, and the young actor gets his first taste of the theatre. THE KEYETTE CLUB aims to serve the community through its helpful activities. Its members are: M. Rinaliii. B. Gaynor, M. Yermack, M. Maher. Row 2: S. Gihbs, J. Ralston. R. Rainey, C. Quinn. Row 3: K. Boyle, M. Rothnie, P. Sturges, J. McCabe. Row 4: H. DeChabert, M. Spence, B. Greenlief. Row 5: T. Battley, B. Ballard, K. Mason, M. Milano. SUPPLYING AN ORPHANAGE with Christmas pres- ents was only one of the many projects undertaken by the C.S.M.C. this year. They also helped the missions through prayer and by collecting stamps and other use- ful articles. k.
