Waitl protests a caroler. Aren't we practicing first? Caroling for hospital patients wasjust one of the events sponsored by the Service Club in their crusade to help people. The members ofthe club also contributed many hours counting cans of food at the Salvation Army and running the LA County Academic Decathalon, which West hosted for the second consecutive year. But the Service Club was not the only organization on campus that helped the community. The members of CSF, with sponsor Edna Murphy, gave a Christmas party for children enrolled in the Salvation Army's day care center. After a few minutes, onlookers couldn't distinguish the high school students from the toddlers as all joined in the games of ring-around the rosey, hokey-pokey, and duck-duck-goose. The group, Peer Counseling, whose main purpose was to help troubled students with their problems, also played duck-duck-goose. It was, however, far from a game for the members. It was an exercise to train these people to help others. You have to learn and accept yourself before you can help others, said Judy Chang. Some students didn't limit their volunteer works within school organiza- tions. Some worked in local hospitals or in programs such as Safe-Rides. Whatever the students of West chose to contribute to the community, their actions showed that West cares. Copy and Layout by Chao-Yi Wei Photos by C. Wei, A. MeUa, B. Hardy, and J. Lin

This scene from this year's murder mystery The Mouse- trap was one of the many which had audiences sitting on edge as the plot thickened and the case unfolded. The plot revolved around eight people snowed in at Monkswell Manor -- Giles and Mollie Ralston the prancing Christopher Wren the nasty Mrs. Boyle and doddering Major Metcalf the beauti- ful but secretive Miss Casewell the extravagant Mr Hideoshi and seemingly concerned detective sergeant Trotter. Mrs. Boyle was first to be strangled by the mysterious killer. Then an attempt was made on Mollie but with intercedence from Miss Casewell - a happy ending came about.
