BEHIND THE SCENES 28 Clubs provide many services Antelope offered many opportunities for students to become involved and to be a part of the school. Joining Art Club and Key Club were excellent ways students showed their participation and spirit. Key Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, was an active club this year. Led by Shannon Hibbard, president, and Pam Hand, vice-president, the club was able to accomplish many services to the community, school, and students. Key Club’s twenty active members cleaned the Turkey Shoot grounds in preparation for the annual shoot, planned a turkey raffle in November, and held games for the school at Christmas. Art Club was another club which was popular with the artistically inclined students of Antelope. Kendall Howell, the club’s president, explained what Art Club was all about, “Art Club is not a club which is just out to make money. Art Club is more of a community service club.

BEHIND THE SCENES 30 Spanish and Pep Clubs get fired up “Rowdy, rough, mean and tough, I say we’re rough and tough. This was a familiar cheer to Pep Club as they got fired up on their fund raisers by having bakesales, lollipop sales and making posters for the athletics. They bought club t-shirts and took a trip at the end of the year for all the active members. Timberly Smith commented, Pep Club has really improved from the past years. I think its because our officers were real organized and everyone put their share in. When the members got together we would be pretty peppy. Another club that was ready for action was Spanish Club. A Spanish class is required to be in Spanish Club. Throughout the year they sold empanadas for their trips. In early October they traveled to Mexicali and San Felipe. In Mexicali they had a chance to see a Mexican youth group Menudo” in concert. They viewed culture sights and visited the San Felipe Beach. Kelly Fitzgerald commented, “It was a great experience for me, and I know that I will be able to remember it.” Spanish Club: Alba Juarez.
