It surrounds them at home, at work, and occasionally in their dreams at night. However, Key Club was composed of 55 members who managed to find time to serve the community, They followed the old adage, Stop asking why things are as they are . . . and focus upon how things may be made better. Their focus for improvements and help within a community was dimensionless. Every project dealt with some overlooked part of society. To start off with was 'Toys for Teens', an annual project where Key Club collects re- cords, books, games, etc . . . for teenagers. This was in cooperation with Jeffco Action Center. Another group Key Club was involved with was the elderly. This year they adopted Jane and Joe from Villa Manor Nursing Home. Members visited their friends bi-monthly. GMHS' second blood drive in a row was this year sponsored by Key Club. It has been the number one drive within a Jefferson County High School, averaging at least 120 pints, which is a record in itself. Last but not least was the Special Olym- pics. Early in the year Key Club sponsored a bowl-a-thon for the handicapped. The mem- bers assisted in the scoring for the partici- pants. They also held a Friday Swim Program. Here too the special olympic swimteam swam and their progress was recorded. The efforts of Key Club were numberless. They strove to fulfill community goals, and attain them with their determination, will, and sole pride as Key Club members.

April Lidinsky shows her vivacious personality. The November 12 issue of RamPage deals with 5 sports championships. l FTW ? an f X 14135: ,. ,., W . ,W r 2 'The Voice Of GMHS' Every three weeks, GMHS students are mailed a copy of the school newspaper, the Ram Page. Each issue is the result of hard work and dedication on the part of experienced writers. The publication usually covers local stories and events, but occasionally deals with national news and controversies which affect the general readership. The Ram Page staff is made up of 21 members. Although Newspaper is a class, many hours outside of school are spent preparing the paper for publication A especially around deadlines. In order to be on staff, each student must endure a full semester of Journalism. Staff members agreed that Journalism was one of the tougher classes they had taken at GMHS. Along with learning how to write in the specific areas of news, feature, editorial, and sports, students learn journalistic style, interview techniques, the art of writing headlines, how to edit copy, layout proceedures and actually put out their own paper. Those who wish to be on staff must receive a 'C' average or above in Journalism, and are also inter- viewed by the editors. The 198283 staff included: Brad Coburn, Editor-in- Chief and News Editor, Gary Jugert, Editorial Editor, Sonja Sue Roemish, Feature Editor, Jeanne Daugherty, Sports Editor, Whitney Seymour, Advertising Manager, Photography Editor, Juli Gammon, Cartoonist, Jack Franz, Illustrator, Chris Harris, and Exchange Editor, Julie Pratt.

'Wfffff A Mark Cf Pride The American Heritage Dictionary defines honor as: esteem: distinction: achievement, integrity, recognition for academic achievement. These are the characteris- tics members in National Honor Society value national- ly - whether they're in town or back east in Washington D.C. Presently, there are twenty-seven-thousand honor so- ciety chapters nation-wide in secondary schools. The first society was chartered in 1921-making it a proud 63 years old. The NHS has grown remarkably fast, A primary reason for this is that membership in the society is meaningful. ln order to be accepted, students must distinguish themselves academically, through: leader- ship, character and service to the school andfor com- munity. Once inducted, these students not only live up to the exemplary lives within their schools, these stu- dents have to continue to be motivated by the challeng- ing ideas of the society. The primary reason of N.H.S. is to recognize stu- dents who excel in academics. Through the school, they practice another goal by serving as a liaison. They help out with the special Olympics, sponsor a Thanksgiving drive, and work closely with senate, Key Club, and Ram Rodders, to name a few.
