r s Smash.. A Side We There is a side of many Taylor students that few people ever see. They find enjoyment by helping others within their com- munity in their spare time. Quite a few students helped out at the Special Olympics at the Katy High School track. They helped by working with the fun and games and were rewarded with a warm smile or a tender hug. Another group that helps year round are the Junior Volunteers at Memorial City General Hospital. There are about 15 dedicated Volunteers who pro- vide this special service to their community. Whether helping out to gain job experience or personal satisfaction, their deeds mean a great deal to others. J Q fl ,Ft
