That start has been denied to one- fifth of the nation’s people. Thirteen million of them are children. VISTA, Volunteers in Service to America, was organ ized to give individuals the opportunity to apply their talents in a compassionate national cause—to fight pov erty in the front lines. Here, lack of education, poor health, unemployment, inadequate housing, and dis rupted family relationships condemn people, often from Childhood, to a life of futility. The work of VISTA volun teers is to help intervene with the tools of opportunity. You will become eligible for VISTA once you are 18 and have completed high schooi. VISTA training will pre pare you to take part in programs for the poor of all ages. In all parts of tee country. Young people who plan to go to college later often enroU for a year both to help others and to enlarge tew own capacities for teaching, social i dfOfk, cf careers to sociok^, economics, law, and other ' fteUs.. tenement row, a struggling farm community, an Indian reservation, or a migrant labor camp. Volunteers may help organize recreation programs or tutor children who are behind in school. Some serve as aides to social woi1- ers, as mental health assistants, as teachers of hobbies and crafts to the elderly. In VISTA, volunteers do what ever is needed to encourage people to find their way up from poverty. The opportunities are great: you can help pave tee way for an America in viihich the denwcratic ideal is big enough to encompass everyone. Will you lend your abilities to people who live in need?

Clubs^ Spending Tops $3,000 For ^64-^65 During the past school year, the thirteen service clubs at GHS have done much to provide the school with extra facilities, and teachers with extra help in class room maintainence. Members of the Junior Jay- cettes, under the direction of Candy Sauer, initiated the Buddy System which helps sophomores and transfer students familiarize themselves with GHS. Along with the Buddy System project, the Jaycettes waxed desks in the classrooms and as sisted the guidance counsellors by writing away for college cata logues and other literature and arranging new bulletin boards each month. While continuing with the week ly washing of black boards, the Junior Civinettes administered weekly devotions. A new under taking, the $400 scholarship which hwas awarded for the first time this year, culminated the Civi nettes work for the year. Redecorating the teacher’s lounge took the time, energy, and money of the Charioteers. Their creativity brought the first prize in the Homecoming Dis play contest which proved that all of their school spirit was not expended in placing streamers on each car in the parking lot before each home game. Following past example, the Interact Club sponsored an ex change student at GHS. The boys also constructed an erosion wail and placed a sign over it which bears the school name. The Civitans sought to imporve school spirit through the pur chase of a speaker system for the use of the head cheerleader at athletic events. Along with this project and the annual Civi- tan handbook, the club also pre sented the annual Ben L. Smith Award. In an effort to further inter national understanding the Civi tans adopted Lo Lai Sang, a Hong Kong orphan who is supported with quarterly club donations. By annually contributing to the Teachers’ Fund, the Jr. Exchang- ettes helped to provide the in structors with sorely needed class room materials. Notetd for its outstanding work with the mentally retarded, the O. Henry Juniors continued to support Camp Joy and the Golden Door. Another project is the an nual presentation of the Leslie Garrett Memorial Art Award. The work of the members of Jr. Exchange centered around pre paring the confetti for the Home coming Game, and awai'ding a plaque to the homeroom with the largest number of people in attendance at the game. The club also provided trash cans for the newly paved parking lot. Sponsoring the “Whirlie-of-the- Week” award and the “Name- the-Whirliebird” contest helped to fill this year for the Jr. Jay- cees. Besides the $300 scholar ship awarded each spring, the club bought and maintained an activity bulletin board for the main hall. Again relying on tradition, the Key Club published the greatly popular Student Directory and assumed the responsibility of cleaning the stadium following each home football game. Another project which seems to be be coming an annual one is the Greensboro Senior High School’s Stadium sign. The presentation of a record player to the choruses and choir at GHS highlighted the year for the Seniorettes. While earning money for this project, the diib supportetd the Golden Door and gathered presents for retarded children at Central School. The Sub-Juniors worked for the Children’s Home Society in dis tributing a newslettetr and filling empty stockings at Christmas. Their project for GHS found the home economics conference room decorated with the money made from their candy sale. Parking lot cleaning began the year for the Hi-Y Philomathians. Service to school and community continued with the distribution of calendar cards to the student body and Thanksgiving baskets to the city’s need. At Christmas the club gave a Christmas party for orphans.
