ART CLUB ARTISTS CAPTURE SCHOOL MOOD Art Club encouraged students to participate in such activities as field trips, which would have been denied to them otherwise. Other projects involving young artists included working on school dances, designing and painting scoreboards, preparing for Homecoming and Valentines dances and games and helping with graduation. Leisure activities were popular with the annual beach trip and picnic dominating. The annual spaghetti feed, a car wash, baked food sale, bake-a-thon, and dances filled out the year. The Art Club also was invited to help paint a bicentennial mural at the State Capitol, but declined, since the project was in conflict with student schedules for the summer of 76. Though much of the club program succeeded, it was often due to the dedication of ten or so members, who emphasized personal involvement and club advisor Mrs. Pat Baker who provided the necessary inspiration and maintained enthusiasm. Art Club gives Merrilee Edwards plenty of opportunity to experiment with a variety of artistic techniques. 22 Art Club

DRAGONAIRES RENO TOUR ENJOYED Dragonaires had many fund raising activities held in order to take a long-awaited trip to Reno, Nevada. While there, they participated in an international swing choir contest. The singers placed second in the finals, defeated only by Kingsburg, California. Other activities included singing in churches, concerts, a singathon and presentations to civic groups such as Women’s club. Through these performances, the Dragonaires were able to gather enough money from Dallas citizens to underwrite the trips’ cost. After the finals in Reno, Mrs. Rosenbalm had the pleasure of talking with Mr. Kirby Shaw who has arranged several jazz numbers, some which the Dragonaires had sung. When commenting on Dallas, Mr. Shaw stated, “How can you be so humble with the group, Nancy? I’ve never seen such a group before tonight that could generate such warmth and radiance from within. They are fantastic!” This comment was indicative of the general reaction to these talented kids by both school and community. Throughout the year, members brought musical pleasure to many fans.

District governor Bill Bucquoy stands in front of the national headquarters in Chicago while attending a gathering of fellow officials. KEY CLUB LOCAL CHAP GAINS NAT ION A L O FFIC E One off-campus youth service organization which continued its active program, the Key Club, met regularly at morning breakfast sessions to plan and arrange their many school community activities. Those involved were sure to remember the Smileroo coin toss, the Christmas tree sales and the Pacific Northwest convention, all of which were major projects. The active group encountered internal problems as they occasionally lost momentum, but were able to work hard enough to get one of their members, Bill Bucquoy, elected district governor. In addition, they put the $600 earned from projects into a stereo which was installed in the student lounge. By year’s end, the youths were busy planning a full roster of community and school projects soon to follow. Key Club 23
