School Directory A Welcome Addition When we wanted to find an address or a tele¬ phone number, we all appreciated the elegant school directory. It made life a lot easier for each of us. We also felt we had a boost for school spirit when the club presented us with our first Victory Bell, mounted on a small wagon, it was wheeled out when Smith came out on top in athle¬ tics. As a money-making project, the Key Club sold SHS decals to carry on with plans for another gift to the school. Other plans included a car washing day, the day after a heavy rain. Key Club officers, I. to r.: Craig Newman, Sgt.-at-Arms; Rick Coffin, Sec ' y; James Wiggs, Pres.; Gary Wyrick, V. Pres.. Here the officers admire the first Victory Bell. 132

Gold Door Project Brings Cheer To Many At the beginning of the year the Gate City Sub¬ juniors sold attractive school folders, and in Feb¬ ruary Valentine candy was available through members. These projects raised money for school and community projects. The Gold Door project provides gifts for less fortunate children. Items such as costume jewelry, cosmetics, clothing, and musical instruments are donated, packed, and sent by club members. Subjuniors have participated in many com¬ munity fund-raising drives, such as the heart fund and the tuberculosis campaign. Even on rainy days, the Sub-juniors have stood out in the weather with their cups in hand! Mrs. Jessup took over as Advisor when Mrs. Haley had to move.

Victory Flag Given By Jr. Exchange Boys Junior Exchange Club members spent the 1965- 66 school year constantly trying to improve the school spirit at Smith High School. Money raising projects for the year included selling programs at home football games, and selling SHS sweatshirts. These sweatshirts are dark green with a golden eagle in fighting posi¬ tion. Other projects have included providing a victory flag and the flag pole, painting a golden eagle on the gym floor, and distributing sports schedules to students. Future plans include erect¬ ing a baseball scoreboard. Mr. Robert L. Leeds is advisor to this, one of Smith ' s most active clubs. Gary Black, Tommy McKeithan, Bobby Johnson and Bobby Roach admire the Golden Eagle painted on gym floor, one of their main projects of the year.
