Pirates come into our community with volunteer services Being basically good at heart, we spent a lot of free time with other people. As we moved out into the world, we began to realize the number of handicapped who needed us. So our clubs and organizations chose groups to give money to or to yisit. And some individuals managed to find time to spend in health centers or other volunteer services. STUCO continued its annual Project Genesis, although some homerooms discovered non-existent addresses. Other homerooms contributed food to Speck Homes for the first time during the Christmas Season. On certain nights, we could find FCA boys enter- taining the old folks at Lackey Manor Nursing Home. German students par- ticipated in Vocaw - a program in which our students went to elementary schools to teach German. Journalism sponsored a Cancer Research Fund in which the whole district was invited to work. There was plenty of room for volun- teer workers at the Children's Con- valescent Home. Many girls gave up their Saturday afternoons to candy- stripe at hospitals. Political candi- dates were staunchly supported by many students who spent extra time at headquarters. We were busy, involved people but we always found time for a good cause. l. WE'LI. GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS!

Relaxing scholars fin The fourth hour bell rang, the halls were stampeded, and starving maniacs invaded the cafeteria. Seen amidst the crowd was Sally Sophomore consumed with hunger, and ready to tackle the formidable lunch line. We snickered and let her through knowing what she was about to face. Slowly 'she approached her first ob- stacle, the confident upperclassmen, who warned her of the coming battle and jokingly offered her rides to d enjoyment in midday food break McDonalds. Refusing, she marched grimly to the counter and ordered the SPECIAL. As we prayed for mercy, the cafeteria lady efficiently served up hamburger noodle casserole, with greens on the side. Sally gasped and carefully placed the plate on her tray. Now she faced the big question, What's for desert? Her choices were the usual: a peanut butter cookie, a sweet roll, or banana pudding. She chose the obvious - a peanut butter cookie. We followed and grabbed some Twinkies for ourselves. The cash- ier announced, Seventy-five cents please, and Sally sadly reached into her pocket for 75 big ones. We swirled around her but she found a place to sit and reached cautiously for her fork .... IN MEMORIAM OF SALLY SOPH- MORE. 1. THAT'LL BE 101: PLEASE!
