ii ii ftBeginning this "n i g h t of

nights," the welcoming address was given by Leslie R. Smith, hospital administrator.

"We at Harbor General Hospi­ tal want you to know that we ap­ preciate the generous gift of serv­ ice which the Volunteer organiza­

tion has provided to help us in our patient care services," Smith told the volunteers, hospital per­ sonnel, and guests. "With the constant developments in new techniques and sophisticated equipment, we need your empha­ sis on personal service, and you are 'giving'it. For this, we thank you."

The awardee is Arlene. Tanaka, 1120 Mauretania, Wilmington, who came from Japan a short time ago and who will be gradu­ ated from San Pedro High School this month.

"Arlene has been an outstand­ ing student at San Pedro High School, particularly in school service and in her rapid adjust­ ment to a new environment and language," the award stated. "She has been active in so many pro­ grams, especially in helping for­ eign students to adjust. It is sur­ prising how she found time to be­ come a Candy Striper except for her just being Arlene." Arlene will enter Registered Nursing training but hopes eventually to become a pharmacist, she said.
