Junior Village Receives Support From Omicron ON THE ATHLETIC AGENDA for Omicron is participation in the basketball intramural program between boys’ service clubs. Omicron Service Club served its community and school well in the past and has continued to give its services throughout this year, under the leadership of President Gary Taylor. This year their major service project was raising badly needed funds for Junior Village and Children's Hospital. In cooperation with the S.C.A., the Omicron boys do- nated food at the Thanksgiving assembly, sold tickets for the Spaghetti Dinner and sponsored several successful open houses. Offering Omicron support to the Portfolio, the school's literary magazine, the boys gave a helping hand in selling subscriptions at the beginning of the year. Continuing in the Omicron tradition, the club ended the year by choosing the outstanding Patriot athlete to receive the sixth annual Omicron Sportsman of the year award. The award is given to the athlete who contributed the most to sports at Yorktown through his participation.

This year Omega Service Club has adopted new policies as well as continuing with the old. One of the first activities of the year was an annual in- duction slumber party for the new and old members to get better acquainted. Promoting a new program this year, Omega worked on only one service project for the entire year, baby-sitting for twelve families with handicapped chil- dren. The girls also continued to run the school’s lost and found for the third year. The Thanksgiving season found the girls on a scavenger hunt, collecting food for the Salvation Army. Around Christ- mas time the club participated in a special Christmas proj- ect, by adopting a family with seven children, giving them a Christmas dinner, decorations for their tree and many gifts. Omega also gave a locket to the Homecoming Queen, Peggy Sjogren and had a tea for returning alumni members. While serving the school and the community the mem- bers still found time for social activities by having a pro- gressive dinner, a mother-daughter tea, and a banquet at Gusti’s to wind up the activities for the year. i CONTINUING THE OPERATION ot the lost end found for the third year, Omega's Lorna Morgan and Lyn Johnson wait for customers.

With numerous service projects, Optimi Service Club was kept active throughout the school year. Lead by Presi- dent Tom Kisgen, Vice-President Charles Dudney, and Bruce Bartek serving as Secretary-Treasurer, the club was very successful in reaching its goals. This year Optimi's main service project was Save the Children clothing drive in March. Old clothes were donated by the student body and collected by the boys in Optimi. The clothes were then sent to needy people in the Ap- palachian area. Continuing to serve the school, Optimi helped serve at the Spaghetti Dinner and sell tickets for it. In cooperation with the S.C.A., Optimi sponsored several successful open houses. The club's spring activities included donut sales every Thursday after school in competition with the girls' service clubs bake sales.
