Perhaps the label of the elite clubs should be erased from students ' impressions of the Key and Keyette Clubs. Instead, members of the Key and Keyette Clubs should be recognized as students who want to contribute ideas and time in benefiting the school and the community. The first goal of the Key Club was to bolster the corps. With a new ad¬ visor, the club seriously pondered a revamped application to appeal to students normally turned off. The only prerequisite was a desire to work while having a good time. With an enlarged membership, club activities included a campaign for a well-dressed student body (the Marshall t-shirt sale) and caroling at Fairfax Hospital, besides the annual parking duty at football games and Wolf Trap. Meanwhile, Keyettes began their curricular activities with a get- together and plans for Unicef and Sadie Hawkins. Stressing inter-rela¬ tionship between clubs, the Keys and Keyettes held a joint Hallo¬ ween-Collect for Unicef dinner. Ac¬ tivities involving both clubs oc¬ cupied a major portion of the year; the annual Sadie Hawkins dance with all its hootin ' and hollerin ' , was a tremendous success. Other planned activities never got off the ground, but were overshadowed by the determination of the clubs Organizations 69

ociety member tutor tudent Students who excelled in aca¬ demics were rewarded by accep¬ tance into a number of Honor Societies. Specifically designated for achievements in foreign language were the Spanish and French Honor Societies. The French Honor Society, spon¬ sored by Mr. Keith Barney, was composed of fifteen members. They participated in such activities as viewing French plays, and planned a trip to New Orleans during Mardi Gras. The Society provided an in¬ centive for excellence in language achievement. For the first time, gifted Spanish students had the opportunity to be recognized through the Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica, sponsored by Miss Martha Abbott. Marshall was granted an official charter for the Society, and members were ini¬ tiated in a candle lighting ceremony in the library. Quill and Scroll, already an es¬ tablished society at Marshall, was not active as far as collective meet¬ ings. It ' s members, however, were very active; they successfully pro¬ duced Marshall ' s three literary publications, the Columbian, Rank and File, and Reveille. Another group that deserved rec¬ ognition, was the National Honor Society. Attempting to create a ser¬ vice club rather than a status clique, members tutored some students in a variety of subjects and organized picnics. 70
