Black Awareness, starting off its secondyear, occupied itself with qualifying for the coveted Club of the Year Award. One of the outstanding, and perhaps the most important, activities was the instantaneous action taken by the club due to the tragic burning of the Mosley home. An immediate fund raising drive bringing in a total of 35175, was the first step in helping the Mosleys get back on their feet. In addition, the members of the club then sponsoreda benefit dance, with all the proceeds, totaling Sl25., going to the Mosley family. Playing at the dance was the band, Six Strong, in which the club presi- dent, Johnny Johnson, was a member. Resulting from the success of the Black Day the spring before, the Black Awareness Clubbers planned to sponsor another Black Day in '72. Planned for the program was a fashion show dis- playing Afro-American fashions, original writings by club members and students, and other inter- esting cultural creations.

Trying to keep the honor of Club of the Year for '71-'72, the Coolidge branch of the International Key Club was kept busy with the many activities they had planned for the year. As in the many years behind us, the Key Clubbers ushered for the home football games, while they sold raffle tickets for the football, autographed by all the Coolidge team members, as a money raising proj- ect. Nearing the Thanksgiving Vacation, the members were constantly occupied with two of their main proj- ects. With the tragedy of the Mosley family, the members collected canned goods, obtained furniture and clothing and fed the family dinner on their night of need. The Key Club also sponsored a food drive to feed needy families Thanksgiving Dinner. The Key Club also helped enhance the Christ- mas Spirit in Coolidge by placing nearly 400 Christ- mas trees along the boulevard and main streets. All the toil and trouble was not wasted, for the trees boosted spirit, beautified Coolidge and taught the Key Club members to appreciate the need for cooperation and teamwork. Under the direction of President Scotty Johnson, Key Club members trimmed the trees, of which there were over 400, for placing along the main streets of Coolidge. key club, service with a Smile FIRST ROW: J.
