•••••••• •••••• Students Use Their Extra Time To olunteer Students in this community had several opportunities to do volunteer work this year. They volunteered at rest homes, hos- pitals, or in school for numerous jobs that needed to be done. Why would students do volun- teer work? Well, in some cases students were required to do some sort of community project for a group or a club. The Na- tional Honor Society had not only a group-volunteer project they did, but also individual pro- jects assigned to each member. Project Teach also required that each member do some sort of volunteer project for a teacher such as make bulletin boards or set up display cases. In other instances, however, students volunteered just to do the community a service. Work- ing as a candy striper or collect- ing canned foods at Christmas time to help Mr. Mann were just two of the ways many students served their community. 1 vol- unteered to go and collect cans, replied Jennifer Swan- berg. The satisfaction I got was better than any money I could have received. So, many students volun- teered in their community to fill requirements, but even more did it for the pure satisfaction of helping others. by Jill Taraskiewicz Co-editor-in-chief Heather Purcell volunteers as a candy striper at St Joseph Hospital in Mishawaka.

Students Receive Support Through Their amilies A great part of the double lives of high school students was the family. Family members were there to offer love, care, and support in everything the student did. Grandparents came with them to celebrate Grand- parent ' s Day at school, and par- ents took their kids to cheerlead- ing practice, honor society inductions, and games on Friday and Saturday nights. Families also offered help in academic areas as well as in ex- tra-curricular activities. Many students or older siblings helped when we were having trouble with school. My dad always helped me with my math home- work when 1 needed it, related Denise Reed, a junior. Giving encouragement in studies, help- ing students decide on their schedules, and rewarding them for receiving high marks were all important jobs that parents ac- complished throughout the year. Sometimes students seemed embarrassed to talk about their families. How much time they spent with their parents, or how much their families meant to them were not popular conver- sations among most students. Even so, deep down every stu- dent held a very special place in his heart for the most important people in his life, his family. by Jill Tarsakiewicz Co-Editor-in-Chief Invited to try out the new exercise equipment.
