Brains ’N’ Brawn Boasting over sixty members, the Key Club was perhaps the club experiencing the largest growth from the previous year- —quadrupling in size. Key Club, a youth service organization sponsored by the Kiwanas Clubs of America, sponsored ac- tivities that were services to the school and community. The increase in members brought about an increase in the quality activities the group was involved in. The enthusiastic members planned and execut- ed very successful activities including sponsoring a stomp; assisting the Sandy Fire Department in a local fire prevention program; and providing five families with Christmas presents, a decorated tree and twenty-five dollars in cash. The club also undertook the large responsibility of put- ting together the 'A Book student direc- tory, as well as assisting the Kiwanas with the annual Sandy Easter Egg Hunt, and helping with an auction held at the Sandy State Bank raising money for the Utah Boys Rand. Again this year, the club also awarded a $200 college scholarship to an outstanding graduating senior. Gary Tin- gey, adviser, summed up the Key Club: I feel that the Key Club provides students with a capacity to give back to the commu- nity and to the school.” People who chose to get involved phys- ically rather than socially found that the Letterpeoples Club provided awards and socializing with people interested in athle- tic accomplishments. The opportunity to obtain a letter was open to anyone willing to prove his or her dedication, ability, and talent in a specific athletic field. The club although not involving its members in a lot of activities was still a coveted organiza- tion because of the prestige associated with belonging to this club. Members not only had to perform well in varsity action, but also had to be in good standing with the school academically and in citizenship. An end of the year banquet honored the athletes, both men and women who had met their departments requirements to wear their silver A on their black letter- people’s jacket. by Glenda Jones Counting up food goods received from the student body.

A Big Business Future Business Leaders of American and Home Economics Related Occupa- tions were not heard often around the halls but these titles represented two of the many clubs belonging to Alta; FBLA and FHA HERO. FBLA’s 70 members goal was to “Help Community get involved with the free enterprise system. To accomplish this goal the club members planned a Free Enterprise Week, which was held the second week of February. Dur- ing this week the members went to ele- mentary and Jr. Highs and taught the students about free enterprise. At Alta congressmen came and spoke on the subject. FBLA practiced some free en- terprise this year by selling toosie roll banks and the familiar Alta High School , Alta Hawks stickers. Two booths at the fair and a prize winning third place float kept the club busy dur- ing Homecoming week. Members at- tended the Western Regionals (Nov. 18- 21) in Portland, Oregon to learn about the offices. Joey Pentelone represented the school so well she was elected the state region V.P. A road rally with lots of pizza kicked the year off to a good start and gave FBLA a great year right through the district and state competition that were held in April. Helping individuals to become better people was FHA-HERO’s goal for the students of Alta. The sixty member club worked on two state projects this year Healthy Babies and Student Body”. These were presented to every person who had a Home-Ec class. Every month there was a FHA day in which the club gave a presentation to help individuals be themselves. Four needy families re- ceived dinner for Thanksgiving in which FHA sponsored. The numerous Christ- mas trees seen around the halls in De- cember were part of the tree decorating contest and FHA project. President Lanette Wisemen said about the biggest change in the club, In the past FHA-HERO has had no male members; this year twenty of our sixty members are males and two, Dean Langston and Eric Singleton, are offi- cers. Six club members received the high- est award in FHA which is the NEW HORIZON Award. Hard work and keep- ing goals helped them achieve this. The FHA-HERO candlelighting ceremony lets Russ Johnson enjoy the evening. This is the first ceremony that boys have participated in. 54 • F.H.A.-F.B.L.A. Horns sprout from FBLA advisor.
