Anxious to serve in the neighborhood as well as in their school, Mustangs willingly contributed their leisure time, ingenious talent, and unending enthu- siasm. Parkland students discovered that they could benefit the community in many different ways: by working as Red Cross volunteers, by seek- ing donations for charity drives, and by collecting food and clothing for needy families. Pupils inter- ested in helping others could join or be inducted into various service organizations such as Key Club, the Anchor Club, Hi-Y, and Y-Teens. Ideas origi- nated in these clubs for worthwhile projects, in- cluding anything from caroling at homes for the aged to selling bread for the March of Dimes. As well as service clubs, students joined church-spon- sored groups in which they visited the sick, helped the needy, and served others through the church. By giving unselfishly, pupils received a feeling of self-satisfaction as grateful recipients' faces beam- ed with happy smiles denoting appreciation.
