Nickels and dimes aid charities To many, lending a helping hand to worthy causes is their way of contributing to mankind. Bike-a-thons, radiothons, telethons and walk-a-thons were all fund raising events Warren students participated in. WEDM, in an effort to better inform the public about the new fire station in Warren Township organized a radiothon. Phones rang, pledges were taken and mu- sic filled the air for 33 hours as staffers strived to reach their goal of $500. During the summer months, quite a few volunteered their time working at the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Camp caring for children crippled by this disease. Summing up her feel- ings about her one-week stay at the camp, senior Cindy Clark commented, It made me realize how lucky I am. Girls ' Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes sponsored a canned food drive, which helped to pro- vide for needy families. Sup- porting the Lutherwood Child Wel- fare Association, a residence for homeless children, were mem- bers of Boys ' FCA. The boys took on the faculty in a volleyball game, with all proceeds going to this organization. One other way the boys raised money was through cake raffles conducted at football and basketball games. Money raised by Teens Against Cancer, through dances, the sale of apples, candy, Santagrams and candygrams benefited cancer vic- tims. Helping in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis was Hl-C who was in charge of taking donations for this worthy cause. Mouteketeert and clowns were just two of the numerous creative costumes adorned by those attending Teens Against Cancer ' s Haunted Hustle. Finding a few minutes in which to sit and talk are seniors Dana Noel and Dave Hood. Mr. Sam Rumford, of the Indianapolis Kiwanas Club, Principal H. Lloyd Cooper and members of the Key Club look on as senior Tom Pappas finishes planting a tree, com- pliments of the Kiwanas Club. The majority of the trees on Warren ' s lawn area have been donated by this organization. 26 Charities

Classes trace their ‘roots’ in science Strange things go on in the Science Department. If one hap- pened to wander around the depart- ment for a while he would have found physical science students weighing the world and biology clas- ses running around in the school woods. Four credits in classes of- fered by the Science Department were required before any student could graduate from high school in Indiana. To offer a more versatile curriculum to appeal to all students, the Science De- partment offered 18 different courses. Sometime in the future an outdoor laboratory is planned for the woods directly east of the school. In the lab students would receive a firsthand look at the lifestyles of other types of living organisms, plants and animals. 28 Science
