Christian Servic vice In September, SJND adopted the Christian Ser- vice Program. This project, which is also being ini- tiated by other schools in the Diocese, is designed to teach students to give a little of themselves to others and to recognize people in the community who need help. The program requires each student to do vol- unteer work for a total of 10 hours each year as a gradutation requirement. “It teaches students about life, about caring for others in a way you can’t learn from a book,” ex- plained Mr. Terrence Dugan, who moderated the program with Mr. Ron Travers and Sister Eliza- beth Mary. This year students did such work as volunteering at Alameda Hospital, helping with Carousel Capers, a carnival to benefit those with cerebral plasy, teaching reading to adults and working at a camp for the handicapped. “We learned about our community firsthand rather than by other people telling us,” explained senior Rosette Gray. And Junior Lisa Lomba said, “I had a good job as a volunteer at the hospital; I not only helped them but they taught me a practical skill too.” 66 We learned about our com- munity firsthand - Rosette Gray, Senior 99 Through the looking glass The soft, colorful glow of light on stained glass was noticed by everyone who entered the front door of SJND this year. Students first thought that the window, which depicts the schools, the SJND emblem and a plane to represent the Pilots, was just a part of the campus beautification program. In reality the window is a memorial to Carol Bolwell and her valiant effort to overcome a disease that eventually ended her life. Carol, a junior at the time, will be remembered not only by her fellow students, but also in the stained glass window lovingly created by her father, Mr. Alan Bolwell.

Bye CAL HI ESAL St. Joseph Notre Dame was part of the new East Shore Athletic League (ESAL) this year. SJND continued to compete against many schools from the CAL, Bishop O’Dowd, St. Mary’s, Salesian, St. Eliz- abeth, Holy Names and Presentation. This elite group was joined by three public schools, Encinal, Albany and Piedmont. “It was challenging this first year because we got to play teams we never did before,” said Senior Rico Lyles. GOhe Chronicle Close-Up another success The White House, Capitol Hill, the Smithsonian, Georgetown— places in the news. From Novy. 30 to Dec. 6, 1986, seven SJND stu- dents got a CLOSE-UP view of these places and others in Wash- ington D.C. The trip included seminars, de- bates and workshops on topics from international relations to censorship to colonial court cases. The hundreds of students from all over the United States were giv- en extensive tours of everything from government buildings, me- morials and monuments to colo- nial Williamsburg, Virginia. Junior John Molinari ex- plained his view, “Close-Up was a great experience in understanding the functions of the branches of our government. Of course, tear- ing our hotel room apart after bed check was fun, too!” Participant Angie Fong, Sen- ior, added, “It was a good exper- ience because we met a lot of new people with funny accents and learned about our government.” Then she added with a smile, “But the best part was the week’s vaca- tion from school!” ¥ HAN ' = eet AY = “a The Close-Up group: Chantelle Thomas, Mr. Phil Gravem, Ginna Baldassarre, Angie Fong, Paula Marcheschi, John Molinari, Linda Quittman and Anne Cronin.
