Oivinetfes Aid Others The Civinettes, under the sponsor- ship of Mrs. Kay Jones, found the I976-77 school year to be their most productive yet. Catering to the needs of others and serving the academy are the group's primary goals and their activities are designed to fulfill those aims. Unselfishness is the byword for the girls. ill The Civinettes went on an excursion to Tara Hall, a boy's home in Georgetown, iust before Christmas. They treated the boys with candy and cookies, played a spontaneous game of basketball with them, and ate lunch in the cafeteria as their guests. l2l Shari Leach, Jan Gore, and Ann Thomas prepare the upper school Christmas bulletin board, complete with Civinettes in the dis- guise of angels. l3l Julie Holcombe and Kelly Neal were cho- sen Queen and King of Harvest in a penny- vote contest sponsored by the Civinettes. The crowning took place at the Halloween Carni- val.

Food ls Bi Business for Clubs As we venture through our school years, activities play a maior part of our iourney. These groups represent students that are interested in partic- ular fields of endeavor. Almost all of Coastal's students are involved in some club proiects, from selling tacos to creating hall bulletin boards. Not only the club sponsors and officers participate in these ill The main money-making project of the Spanish Club this year was the selling of tacos made by its members. Shannon Floyd, Howell Bellamy, Patrick Smith, and Judd Green hungrily await their lunch as served up by Teb Bough. l2l Reynolds Martin treats herself to a Span- ish delicacy. events, but each member of the club is drawn into these activities. This year's organizations got off to an early start through scheduled bi-monthly meetings. Clubs were revamped under the guidance of a group of students who worked as a student activity committee. The com- mittee planned a monthly calendar of events that began to resemble a menu because it was so filled with proiects that revolved around feed- ing Coastal's students. Doughnuts, hot chocolate, soup and sand- wiches, hot dogs and hamburgers, and the sales and raffles of baked goods all brought money into clubs' treasuries at a rapid rate.

Yearbook Staff Wins Trophies The summer months proved profit- able to the yearbook staff, both in honors and income. Most of the group attended Taylor Publishing Company's Workshop at Columbia College along with several hundred other high school students from across the state. Trophy awards were presented for best lay-out and design, as well as for copywriting. The staff's work netted them a first place trophy in copywriting and sec- ond place in lay-out and design in the small school division. Besides accomplishing a great deal at the workshop, the students began their advertising campaign early in the summer and had accu- mulated a substantial sum by the time school opened. Only a small part of the work lay behind them, however, those first color deadlines still meant hours of planning and picture taking. For the first time, most of the gen- eral photography was tackled by a student. Al Wheless's interest and training which began in the spring of 1976 and continued throughout the summer, paid off during the school year. Al could frequently be seen roaming the halls armed with the camera. All the months of preparation and hard work seemed worthwhile when each dummy page turned into an actuality on proof sheets. Then, finally, the production of a reality: the 1977 Retrospect arrived.
