f 1 Key Club ' Demerit system proved effective. With twenty-two members, Key Club initiated many service and fund-raising projects that led to a prolific year. There was an increase in participation, which was largely due to stricter policies concerning attendance at meetings and projects and a new demerit system. Members received a designated number of demerits for non-attendance, whether excuses or unexcused, and excessive talking during meeting. Key Club managed to raise a large amount of money through fund-raising projects such as Valentine's Day Carnation sales and the showing of a movie, It,s Alive. The proceeds went to paying for an issue of the RAM-PAGE, donating 3250.00 to the local Ronald MacDonald House, contributing Sl00.00 to RAM COUNTRY, and sponsoring the Homecoming Dance. Service projects included lining the soccer field, painting school trash cans, and helping with the annual Gator City Kiwanis Pancake Sale held at the Gainesville High School cafeteria on March 6. Members attended the Florida Key Club Convention held at Daytona Beach at the Plaza Hotel from April Z9-May 2, where district and national Key Club officers were elected. l.

Keywanettes Keywanettes-Key Club combination proved positive. A new characteristic of the Keywanettes was its combination with the Key Club on national and district levels. The two clubs remained separate at school, initiating projects individually as well as combined. Keywanettes members paid national and dis- trict dues, thus becoming members on those levels. There was an increase in membership from an average of thirty members from previous years to fifty. More and bigger projects were a result of the increase. We didn't expect it, stated Ilona Lawless, president, 'ibut it was a nice surprise. An anxiously anticipated as well as eagerly awaited event was Rush Week. Participation in the week-long initiation was re- quired for membership. Activities were RainyfFlash Flood Day, Hippiesf60's Day, Wild, Wild West Day, Toga Day, and New Wave Day. Service projects included entering three cars in the Home- coming Spirit Parade, co-sponsoring the Homecoming Dance with Key Club, decorating the school for Homecoming festivi- ties, buying menu boards for the cafeteria, and painting posters for the varsity basketball games. Fund-raising activities includ- ed selling spirit ribbons and candy canes. l48fKeywanettes 2 l. Cindy Kearney and Kelly Greenan show their involvement during Wild, Wild West Day. 2.

u lpha Theta Speakers characterized club meetings. Members of Mu Alpha Theta, Eastside's mathematics honor society, believed the application of mathematics to be interest- ing and fun. To be a member, a student must have a 3.0 grade point average in all academic areas, plus they must have taken college preparatory classes. They posessed qualities of industri- ousness, initiative, and reliability. One activity for the year was a field trip to the University of Florida's Chemical Engineering Plant on February 18. Engi- neering students talked with members and gave a tour of the plant. Together with the National Honor Society and JETS, Mu Alpha Theta participated in a Christmas breakfast at Skeeter's. Meetings were held once a month either at school or at a member's home. Some were held after school, some at night. Lectures on various math-related subjects made up many of the meetings. A representative from the Civitan Regional Blood Center, a professor at the University of Florida who gave a lecture on the Rubic's Cube, and Mr. Swain who talked about the University's engineering program were several speakers. Officers were Sharyl Kamlah, president, Becky Nettles, vice president, Lissa Stallings, secretary, and treasurer. Mrs. Teresa Swain was sponsor. l.
