Students learn early that community ser- vice is important to campus organiza- tions as well as the city. Because of this, drives were sponsored and projects were undertaken. Student Council members visited nursing homes and serenaded the residents at Christmastime. HERO and VOE sponsored the annual food drive at Thanksgiving and Anchor Club members worked at the Food Fair for the HEAR Foundation. Key Club members helped set things up at the new Women ' s Crisis Center, Industrial Arts Club members built signs for the Victoria Preservation, Inc., and students and faculty members gave blood at the Student Council sponsored blood drive during the fall and the spring. During Victoria ' s clean up week, approx- imately 30 volunteered to clean up litter off city streets.

howing that we care Working around school, or hosting luncheons, we care about others Family . . . that ' s how students and facuhy describe each other. Car- ing about each other, as well as the school facility itself, is almost automatic. Different student organizations, in- cluding FHA, Anchor Club, FFA and Stu- dent Council gave luncheons throughout the year for the faculty and staff. The voca- tional clubs put pencils and pads in the teachers ' boxes prior to the first day of school and during vocational week. Faculty and staff members, just about 100%, showed visible support of student efforts each Friday during football season and during other sports ' seasons by wear- ing their specially-designed shirts declaring them to be Stroman staff. It was nothing out of the ordinary to see teachers staying late to work with students or coming back in the evening for help sessions on special projects, such as science fair entries. When ag students saw the weeds grow- ing in the flower beds after the snow killed everything off, they did something about it. Students worked as aides to teachers and teachers attend- ed student functions. Family . . . yes, that ' s what it ' s like.
