Dig Brothers, Dig Sisters is on orgonizotion for people who wont to volunteer themselves ond their time for o younger child of o single porent. Rhonda Niceley, junior, became interested in Dig Brothers, Dig Sisters when she heard a representative speak at an East Student Assembly meeting.

When I met Atisha, she needed to share her feelings with someone. I needed her os much as she needed me.” Melody Hunt, senior, also is involved as a big sister. She has had her little sister, Nora Palmer. 9, since the first week of school. I plan on going into social work and felt having a little sister would give me some insight on the people I would be working with,” said Hunt. Melody spends three to four hours a week with her little sister. They fly kites and go bicycle riding. Nora likes to cook so occasion- ally she will come to Melody's house and they will try a new recipe. Nora, herself is very shy. Melody feels that she is yet too young to understand what has happened between her parents. Hunt feels that Nora looks upon their relationship as, A Dig Sister is someone to have a good time with. by Helen Carie Out of the Ordinary Time to shore brings friends who core DIG BROTHERS AND SISTERS INC.
