Karen Volz {lower photo) does volunteer work at the new Fort Wayne State School. With a full schedule of classes, homework, games, dates, -and other extra-curricular activities, EHS teens still find time to serve their community. Unselfishly giving up their free time on week ends and after school, they not only gain the satisfac- tion of having done a job well, but also they gain the knowledge that others benefit from their efforts. For many of these volunteers, the type of service work that they choose is a step toward a future career. For others, service work is a way of developing their confidence and a way of meeting people. Through their work these volunteers take part in improving their society. Buying toys for unfortunate children at Christmas time is a service Red Cross Club members like Cindy Cutshall and Ted Barker perform. 22

Many students are motivated by the force of having to meet the ex- pense of a college education or a vocational education in the future. Some must help out at home. Others work to earn money for teen activities. The students who acquire after-school jobs find them a heavy weight on their academic schedules. Although some work- ers have become honor students, many high-schoolers who work find little time for homework. Those who manage both a job and school successfully have become better individuals for their efforts. In the Fort ' Wayne Public Library works Elmhutst student Beverly Bennett. Stocking shelves is one of her jobs. Seniors Sally Redding and Karen McLaughlin prepare monthly statements at Denig Cleaners. After-school employment provides an opportunity for students to meet people. ft r jMiik I BT F , fl h M 23
