Clubs Emphasize Many Different Interests One can always tell when The Stamp and Coins, Archery, or Ping Pong Clubs meet be- cause of the eager sound of the voices of the members adding their ideas to the others presented. The members of the Stamp and Coins Club spent their club time showing their collec- tions and trading with the other members in the club. Mr. Wilier, the club sponsor, met with the club. The Archery Club did most of its shooting at Franke Park. Even on rainy or snowy days the Archery Club participated in their sport by using a pavilion at the park. The sponsor was Mr. Ginder. Under the direction of Mr. Young, the Ping Pong Club members developed a great skill in their sport. Various members of the Stamps and Coins Club inspect and display various kinds of coins collected throughout the year. The technique of shooting an arrow is shown by members of the Archery Club. Each member pro- vided his own bow and proceeded to learn the skill of becoming an accurate archer. The members of the Ping Pong Club are getting a lesson in the correct technique for holding the pad- dle. The members of the club set up their tables in the cafeteria each week and then enjoyed themselves as they played, remembering the fundamentals they learned during the past year. ' gff ' j

The members of the Pen Pal Club write and receive many interesting letters. They measure the dis- tance their letters must travel to reach their desti- nation, which is sometimes around the world. The members of the Trip and Travel Club discuss various countries and peoples which they would like to visit after the school bell rings for the last time in June. Students Write, Type And Travel The Pen Pal Club has given its members a chance to make new friends. They have ex- changed photos, small gifts, cards, and ideas with their penpals. The members have just completed a world map on which they located the homes of their new friends. Letters travel from Fort Yukon on the Artie Circle to near Adelaide in New South Wales, Australia. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Goodwin. The Trip and Travel Club consists of stu- dents who like to travel and want to know more about it.

There is an odor of glue in the room when the Model Hobby Club meets. The boys trade their ideas and skills as they work on their various types of models. Students are pretty tricky with their pencils when it comes to working an equation. Even though work is involved, fun is an outcome of the meetings. Hobbies, Math, Sales Interest Members The homeroom agents of this year ' s Kite ' n Key worked industriously at the beginning of the year for a 100 per cent in the sale of the yearbook to their homeroom. The students in the Math Club have done many interesting projects in the past year. Their instructor, Mr. Weaver, has taught them many new skills in math such as mak- ing the complicated hexahexaflexagram. The math students have played many exciting games such as Math-o, a game similar to Bingo. The Model Hobby Club meets in the shop with Mr. Krueckeberg and Mr. Piepenbrink. The members of this club construct various models. Some of the models they work on are cars, boats, and airplanes. The tools in the shop are used in the construction of these models. Kite ' n Key agents work very hard in early November, so they can have a 100 per cent in subscribers. This year Mrs. Chandler ' s homeroom had reached this goal on the first day. Each student in the room received two candy bars. 26
