Volunteering helps students to make career, life decisions elf-satisfaction the only pay The school bell rang at the end of the day, and students were running out of the building. Some were tense anticipating the volunteer jobs they were heading to. Some looked for- ward to it. Some did it for classroom assignments, while others did it because they wanted to. Junior Sarah Lindeman vol- unteered at the zoo in the summer and during the holi- days. As a three-year volun- teer, she sold balloons, Sitting down to practice, senior Kurt Schmidt works on a piece to be played with the Philharmonic orchestra. Schmidt was also a head usher for Embassy theater concerts. As she reviews last week ' s lesson about the plagues in Egypt with the class, senior Dawn Marie Min- nick teaches Sunday school. Min- nick taught at Bethlehem church. Volunteering at the zoo, junior Tra- cy Albersmeyer helps guide the horses through the trails. Albers- meyer helped in a tew of the many zoo activities for children. cleaned cages, and helped with special projects. My sister volunteered there, and that ' s what got me started. It was fun doing it be- cause I like zoology and I en- joyed working with other peo- ple. One of the things that made me enjoy it more was the many cute guys, said Lindeman. Junior Tracy Albersmeyer also worked at the zoo. She was a leader on the horse trails and has been working there for more than four years. What I liked about my job was being with the horses, said Albersmeyer. Working at a day care cen- ter was senior Tina Barney ' s interest. Barney liked to work with the children there and teach them different skills. I had the best time in my life working at the day care center, and if I could have changed anything, I wouldn ' t have left, said Barney. Volunteering at Kinder Care was senior Brent Doerffler ' s psychology project. I en- joyed it because I loved the kids, Doerffler said. As a project in her psychol- ogy class, senior Jennifer Mather volunteered at the State Developmental Center. She taught art class to mental- ly disabled children once a week for two hours. I want to go into some kind of psychology and maybe work with retarded children. My favorite part of my job was teaching them how to work with art, said Mather. Even though her hours had been completed for the class, Mather wanted to continue going to the center. — Holly Davis Volunteering

Restaurants measure up to highest expectations ateries attract patrons The stomach pains had irritat- ed long enough! It was time for the family members to indulge. Crowded into the family sta- tion wagon, they were off in search of food; but Where? was the big question pounding in their growling stomachs. This familiar scene was ex- perienced by students and their families often, on an aver- age of three times a week. Since there were many restau- rants in the Fort Wayne area, students said that picking a restaurant was a hard choice to make. Often they stuck with a restaurant that was a favor- ite. Senior John Dwinell said that other than pizza places, Burger King was his favorite restaurant. Other than fast food restau- rants, students also enjoyed the finer style of dining. My favorite restaurant was T.J. Pasta, said freshman Kirstin Martin. Sophomore Neil Hudson said Casa D ' Angelo was his Brown-Bagging her lunch to school, junior Heather Hoffman finishes off an apple during second lunch. Hoffman packed her lunch when she wasn ' t going straight home after school. Taking a break at Wendy ' s restau- rant before a home volleyball game, sophomores Stephanie Houser, Kristin Bierlein, and Mindy Behny grab a bite to eat. After the football game with Snider, senior Craig Morton treats senior Angela Stedge to a snack at Cheddars. Cheddars was a popu- lar place for students to hang-out. favorite restaurant in Fort Wayne because it had good food. Picking a favorite restaurant entailed a variety of different factors to be studied, such as the location and the atmo- sphere. I liked Coney Island because it never changed; it always was the same, said senior Amy Gilmore. I liked T.J. Pasta because everyone was really friendly there, said Martin. Other reasons why students picked certain restaurants as their favorites ranged from cheap prices to service. I liked Chi-Chi ' s because I like Mexican food and because their prices were reasonable. They gave you free chips and sauce too, said senior Vel Stowe. Cheddars was my favorite restaurant because it was dif- ferent from all the rest of the restaurants, said senior T Irmscher. Irmscher also said that she liked their french fries the best. I believe that to make Fort Wayne ' s restaurants even bet- ter we should tear down all the Penguin Points that are in the Fort Wayne area and build more Subway sub-shops, said Dwinell. — Sherry Bredemeyer Restaurants
