The Drama Club staged The Crucible for the fall play and Jo- seph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat the spring musical. Stu- dents competed in choral and instru- mental contests throughout the year, and according to band and choir direc- tor Mr. Hunckler, The kids are doing extra work, taking on extra jobs, and the band is excited. We ' ve given more spirit to games, and the choir has per- formed difficult numbers, college level numbers, and accomplished a lot, espe- cially during Christmas. Recognizing needs in the community and desiring to alleviate them, SJHS students worked together in service organiza- tions. SADD members posted mes- sages and made announcements as re- minders of the dangers of drunk driv- ing. Summing up the focus of the Christian Service classes, senior Rick Navarre said, In Christian Service you volunteer to help the community in any way you can, using your talents to help those less fortunate than your- self. Another students organization concerned with the less fortunate members of the community was the Hunger Abolition Corps. Once again, they sponsored a food drive over Thanksgiving and second hour home rooms collected money and food for 40 families. Susy Wojtowicz, president of HAC, said the food drive makes peo- ple think about the needy, and draws people together. The concern and de- termination inside these groups and people are evidenced by their actions. Although their efforts don ' t always re- ceive the recognition they deserve, the members realize the importance of their contributions, and recognize that it ' s what ' s inside of themselves that counts.
