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.
