Y it Participating For 'li l The Public Having two new sponsors was the biggest change this year for the Key Club. l've had a sense of belonging,since l'm more in- volved with a special group of students, commented Betty Battle, sponsor. Carolyn Cowan, sponsor, had this to say, l'm glad I had a chance to work directly with a group of'kids. The Key Club is a service organiiation to the school and community. We help foster school spirit and publicize -the good things that students do, Battle explained. The Key Club had a very busy schedule this year and it started off by having a carnival at Halloween. It wasn't a money- making project, explained Tresa Philpott, reporter. The purpose was to provide kids a place to have fun on Halloween in a safe environment. The carnival included a cookie walk, pick-a-duck, thumb prin- ts, a haunted house, apple bob- bing, refreshments, and a lot of candy. In November the Key Club collected food for needy families. The December project was a trip to the Baylock Nursing Home to help wrap presents, address Christmas cards, and decorate doors. .The Key Clubs baked cookies and put them in the teachers' lounges for the faculty at Christmas and again on Valen- tine's Day. In March the Key Club helped usher parents around the school at the open house. On Saint Patrick's Day the Key Club collected money in the cafeteria. Anyone who donated received either a Saint Patrick's day sticker or pin. The amount of money collected was S91.74. In April'a representative from Walk America gave a presen- tation on getting people to par- ticipate. The Key ,Club helped advertise and gave out ap- plications. An end of the year party was held in May. Gifts were given to Cowan and Battle in appreciation for their dedication and support to the club. I learned the importance of planning ahead to achieve our goals and the need of good communication, Battle remem- bered. Heading the Key Club as of- ficers were Pam Buchanan junior, president, Cappi Lemke, junior, vice-president, Debbie Fisher, senior, chaplain, Carrie Sodon, senior, treasurer, Janet West, senior, secretary, and Philpott, junior, reporter and publicity. 1 Key Club d Key Club 143

Youth For Christ Youth For Christ Fellowship Youth for Christ was an organization of Christians that met every Wednesday morning in spon- sor Randa Wheat's drama room. They got together once a week to share with each other and to wor- ship God. When the club first originated, it was, for the most part, a Bap- tist group. This year, however, the club was more inter- denominational. People of all denominations were invited to come and join inthe meetings. The stress was on Christian fellowship, rather than on just Baptist, or Catholic, or Presbyterian fellowship. Karla Vawter, senior, thought it was good to, put aside our denominations and just worship Christ. Many guest speakers visited Youth for Christ this year. Some of them included people from neigh- borhood churches as well as principal Frank Braden. The guests attracting the most people were the members of the group Reborn. They set up in the 1 Members of the group Reborn perform a before school concert in the auditorium for a Youth for Christ activity. auditorium and gave a concert one morning before school. A lot of people dropped in to see what was going on and before long there was a fairly large group of people listening to Reborn's music and testimonies. Youth for Christ has meant far more to this school than lust a club that meets once a week. It has meant more to its members than listening to excellent speakers who represent different denominations. lt has even meant more than warm fellowship and a sense of belonging and sincere concern for each member. I believe it is a success not because of its size or many ac- tivities, but because they meet every week to worship Jesus. Mary Flathman ..,. K.
