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.

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.

Phi Members Prove Artistic and Acting Talents Phi Service Club, under the leadership of Paul Wagner and sponsored by Mr. James Allen, though only in its second year of existence, set records of service throughout the year by both artistic and acting talents. In the fall the boys performed a skit for the Pep Rally before the Washington-Lee football game. Winter found the members participating in a fashion show for the Variety Show. Illustrating their artistic talents, members helped to deco- rate for the Homecoming Dance, The Night Before The Night Before, and again for the Senior Dance, Golden Nugget. During the year Phi was sponsor of several open houses after both football and basketball games. In the summer the club sponsored a dance for Children's Village and in Febru- ary they acted as bus boys for the Spaghetti Dinner. Starting a new tradition, Phi adopted Zeta for their sister club. The main social activity for Phi members was their club party. OH SHUCKS. I CANT HELP IT IF I’M GIRL SHY, comments Stevie Jones as he finds himself surrounded by 'fellow' Phi members.
