Key Club Service with a smile They were the students who served others, and according to the club ' s vice-president, senior Mike Melnyk, the Key Club provided an excellent opportunity for a young individual to become a leader and not a follower. Key Club projects included long hours at the book sale, fund-raising events for charity purposes, and car rallies just for fun. They were the students who set up chairs in the gym for masses, too. Since the club is a service organization, much of their time was spent raising money to help others in the community. For example, they donated money to the poor in Indiantown, reinforcing their motto that Caring is our way of life.

Exchange Club Yes, Virginia If they had pulled off his beard, they would have been alarmed to find that Santa was a red-haired, freckle- faced teenager. Junior Brett Baker, posing as Santa, and his helpers, Exchange Club members, enter- tained the children at Gaines Park as part of their Christmas project. Some excited preschoolers climbed on Santa ' s lap and recited their long lists of gift requests, while Exchange Club members led others in Christmas carols, played games, and distributed refreshments. Senior Karen Kemp, along with junior Scott Johnson started the song and dance number, Hokie-Pokie, and soon tiny arms and legs were flying about and loud voices sang out of key. Seniors Pat Ordonez and Gina Arsenault played Simon Says with another group. After the party ended a weary group straggled out of the school, saying their goodbys to the children and pausing to give another hug or two. Santa, still dressed in his red suit, climbed into his sleigh (a convertible Rabbit) and drove out of sight, yelling Merry Christmas to all! to the children ' s delight. It had been the highlight of the service organization ' s year of activi- ties, which included serving dinner at Newman ' s first Oktoberfest, selling candy for the leukemia fund and Student Clouncil scholarship fund, and workin g at the November elec- tions.
