The club, sponsored by the Clcnside Kiwanis Club, and founded on the same principles which have made Kiwanis Inter- national a very successful service organization, stands ready at all times to help the faculty and principal in any worthwhile project, and has many times in the past several years contributed toward the welfare of Abington High School. An example ol' Key Club service was the supervision of traffic during the open house series prior to the dedica- tion of our new building.
