Clubs, volunteers serve community Volunteer groups both inside and outside the school had a main objective of serving the community. Among the special projects and accomplish- ments covered by the Red Cross Club, with Pam Spry as president and Mrs. Kinner as sponsor, were the collection of food for the needy at Thanksgiving and the rebuilding of toys for Casa Maria settlement home in the inner city. Presently there are two Y-Teen groups. The main undertaking of the Alpha-Y-Teens was the financing of a reservation Indian boy's education in Arizona. Beta Sigma Y-Teen's president, Nancy Smith, and members participated in several other worthwhile activities. Under the sponsor- ship of Mrs. Jaeger they went Christmas Car- oling at various hospitals and helped at the Mother's Club Christmas and spring teas. Key Club, under the sponsor, Mr. Beach, and president, John Campbell, worked at vari- ous projects, among which were the door to door collection of funds for the cancer and United Foundation drives. Several students got together approximate- ly once a month on a one-to-one relationship with a mentally retarded or physically handi- capped child. They helped him in something of interest to both student and child. For in- stance, two children were taught to play the piano and the guitar. Another group of the student body partici- pated in tutoring at Scripps School, Scripps Annex School, Foster School, and Brewster- Douglas Housing Projects in the inner city after school once a week. The members of this organization also helped teach swimming at the Hannon YMCA, in the inner city. Students also involved themselves in a vol- unteer program which taught mentally re- tarded, physically handicapped, or emotionally disturbed children ranging from age seven to eighteen, how to swim. The Foundation for Exceptional Children had several students helping mentally retard- ed and physically handicapped children with art projects, puzzles, learning the alphabet and having a good time. 54 3 g ,Tc . f Above: Rhodey Moxley helps Paul at the Foundation for Exceptional Children.
