Sorting It Gut Lisa Berry Editor Seniors usually find great pleasure in spotting the wide-eyed sophomores in the crowd on the first day of school. It is obvious that they are actually excited about being at school! This year found more wide-eyed people than a few sophomores. Many new faces were shuffled into Mills this year, and it took a while to sort it all. I liked the idea of all the new people because I wanted to meet a lot of new friends, Tena Brooks said. Most of the senior class has been at Mills for their high school career. That's not true for the juniors and Sophomores, and Seniors were happy about the right to choose the school from which they would graduate. Some students feel like they should graduate from the school they have gone to. I'm really glad I'm getting to graduate from Mills. I feel like this is my home, Felicia Wilson said. 'l 'I4 People

Volunteers are lways needed and are in reat demand. To become ne, all that is needed is a ind, giving heart and ome training. Volunteers o all, from helping handi- apped kids to having heir own radio show. I saw a commercial for he United Way on televi- ion, so I called to see if I ould help someone. They ent me to a church to vol- nteer for one week at heir Vacation Bible I. It made me happy o think that I helped all of people, jill Gough Volunteerism said. Camp Aldersgate pro- vides camping and pro- grams for handicapped young people. Alders- gate's volunteers are im- portant because they su- pervise and play with the kids at camp. Aldersgate is a learning experience not only for the campers, but also for the volunteers. This benefits the volun- teers by providing them with experiences with many different kinds of people. At the time I was inter- ested in going into the medical field, and I felt that volunteering would give me a first hand expe- rience. I enjoyed working with the people. It ex- posed me to a wide variety of personalities. As a re- sult, I decided not to go to medical school. The vol- unteering really wasn't a waste because it kept me from going into a field, I thought I wanted to do. Everyday was filled with many adventures, Shan- non Warner said. Volunteering can be rewarding by providing memorable and lasting ex- periences. The volunteers are often put in unique sit- uations. Some are good, and some are bad,butthey are most definitely some- thing unforgetable. The funniest thing that ever happened to me at Camp Aldersgate was when me and two other kids were canoeing. We were having a water fight, and one kid stood up and the whole canoe tipped lfll C-f' L Ja f9?m1'?f2. N M IG graff- ,aa-v Cindy Hope over on us, Robbie Rob- inson said. If someone ever wanted to volunteer it's easy to get started by just asking someone if they need help. Most volunteers get started by asking a lot of questions and calling a lot of people. It is a matter of how determined some- one is to work. I didn't really like the kind of music played on the regular stations, so I became a volunteer at KABF. I get air time to play the songs I like, and maybe let other people enjoy the music too, Laura Miller said. Cherl King works viciously on a paper in which she uses a magazine to finish her research.
