Its willingness to work can always be depended on for short-notice odd jobs. This past Christmas the club turned out whole-heartedly to make candle-holders for the Christmas Con- cert. A similar dependability is that of the Social Service Committee, a com- mittee under S.O. authorization. Chair- man Cynthia Smith and members help to plan such service projects as the Teens Against Polioi' drive. This year the drive, under the direction of Susan Bogert and Breon Boyle, was divided into three parts, the T.A.P. basketball game, the balloon contributionsn and the taffy sales. Its other projects include addressing and distributing material for charities, a trip to Letchworth Village, and in general, service to the community. 29 SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS The Tri-Hi-Y and Social Service Render Aid soc1AL SERVICE COMMITTEE MEETS Under the leadership of Cynthia Smith the Social Service Committee readily enjoys planning and performing its many service functions.
