ore Than Just Money Students volunteer their time for self-satisfaction The main purpose of working for most students was ttie money. For some tliougti I volunteer because I love being around people and clieering them up. It makes me feel good about myself knowing I am a friend and can make people smile. the only pay was the experi- ence and satisfaction gained from accomplishing a task. Volunteer work helped students get famil- iar with a certain career area or for others volunteer services was work they real- ly enjoy. Many students from Mew Haven High School did vol- unteer work throughout the community. One such ser- vice was candystriping. The girls candystripe one night a week at Parkview Hospi- tal. Their job consisted of delivering flowers, running errands for nurses, talking to and feeding patients, or working in the gift shop. I ' ve wanted to be a nurse for a long time and 1 found out 1 could get expe- rience by candystriping, stated Amy Thompson. Another area outside of school Mike Thena took part in was at the Franke Park Day Camp. Mike Vol- unteered every day during the summer teaching chil- dren the ways of the woods and how to live as the Indi- ans did. ' Once 1 started this pro- gram and found out how in- teresting it is to see chil- dren react to the things they learn, 1 find it hard to quit, Mike Thena com- mented. Senior Jim Conner volun- teered for the Fort Wayne Student Police Department. Conner went to meetings every Thursday night to learn about police work. During the summer he helped direct traffic and crowds at such events as Three Rivers Festival, Fourth of July Fireworks, parades and other traffic re- lated events. like volunteering be- cause I am getting a lot of police experience and train- ing that will help me in my law enforcement career, Jim Conner stated. Making career and life de- cisions, making people happy and gaining self-sat- isfaction were only a few of the reasons for volunteer- ing. Many new Haven stu- dents found that giving time without gaining material benefits was just as reward- ing as a pay check every week. .

aking Charge Of A Date Girls enjoy an evening of talcing the guys out It was an- other hee- hawing hoe- down time on March 18 in Piew Haven ' s gymnasium. This was my first year as Marryin ' Sam. I got all spiffed up and iiad a good ' ol time. I just wonder Iiow long the marriages will last Many enjoyed and enter- tained themselves by at- tending the fair and square dancing at the traditional Sadie Hawkins Dance. Cou- ples started their evening by a meal paid for by the young lady. The idea of the girl pay- ing for the meal for a change is a neat idea. This gives them a sense of what it is like to pay and be in charge of planning the eve- ning, stated Senior John Stewart. After eating either at a restaurant or at home, the couples headed to the Country Carnival. Clubs and organizations had booths and games set up for couples to participate in or to win prizes. Once again Mr. Stephan featured the Sadie Hawkins Movie. With the assistance of Seniors Roger Shuman, Gary Hahn, and Tim Sims and Junior Jason Hoffrnan the movie was a great success. T thought attending the carnival was a lot of fun, and 1 especially enjoyed the games that involved my partner and 1, commented Junior Cheryl Patty. Then it was dancing time. Couples formed their squares and the band Gold Rush played the hoe-down music. After the exhausting dancing, things slowed down for awhile. This not only gave couples a chance to relax, but also to announce Li ' l Abner and Daisy Mae. The winning couple was Dave Foellinger and Alyssa Martin. At last it was time for cou- ples to be hitched. As the certificates were passed out the guys took off running. Then the girls chased them down and dragged them back. Rings were then ex- changed and Marryin ' Sam hitched all the couples. ' This was my first year at- tending so it was quite dif- ferent at first dancing to country music. 1 think Sadie Hawkins is a very successful dance and I am looking for- ward to next year ' s, states Carol Diehl. • Kim Trahin Hitchin ' up Together The exchanging of the rings is al- ways one of the highlights of the Sadie Hawkins. Juniors Christina Dyson and Amy Toy anxiously await the wed-lock with their boyfriends. i •T»U»D«E»n«T«L»l«r»1
