The Caritas program offered such an experience along with personal satisfaction to the participants involved. Operating from the Peter Claver Center, the Caritas program encompassed a social service agency and a tutorial program. As social services, members gave classes in nutritional cooking, offered job referrals, and helped with family problems. Voluntary tutors were matched on a one-to-one basis with children having trouble in school. A special bond beyond that of just teacher and pupil was developed between the two. The relationship was more like mutual friends. This spirit was fostered by the numerous field trips and parties that the tutor and pupil went to together. A Halloween party. October 29. and a Christmas party. December 11. were the highlights. March 25. SAAME sponsored an Easter egg hunt for the program at the Peter Claver Center. Final activity of the year was a spring picnic at the Woodland Park Zoo. The program was directed by Richard -lones. 24 AEGIS 72

Christian love was radiated. Confraternity of Christian Doctrine volunteers gave their Saturday mornings to teach deaf and retarded youngsters. They helped the children to adjust to the world around them and discover beauty within life itself. CCD placed special emphasis on one-to-one learning sessions between the tutor and pupil. A program of teacher's training was initiated to increase the effectiveness of tutors. New methods were formulated to enable a tutor to have a continuous lesson plan throughout the year. Spiritual guidance was coupled with instruction in the creative arts. Some children were prepared for their First Communion while others for Confirmation. The tutors used the artistic medium to help the children learn to express themselves. Projects ranged from cutting out Valentines to plain crayon drawings. Saturday instruction included trips to hockey games, museums, visits to the Seattle Center and the Woodland Park Zoo. A spring picnic highlighter! the year of teamwork. Cathy Fukes was coordinator of the program. Wl Above: Joan Bradstetter gives material to Jackie for making valentines.
