With over seven major service projects, and many fund raisers throughout the year, Key Club was one of the most active and productive clubs at Green Mountain High School. Some of these major projects were helping with the Special Olympics, and the adopt-a-grandparent program. Also, they participated in, and helped with the Bonfils blood drive. In addition, they collected toys from teens, which were given to needy children. Although it is primarily a service organization, Key Club strives to produce well-rounded students. Their main objectives were service to the community, and the enrichment of personal ideas. Athletics, social functions, banquets, conventions and rallies were also a part of the program. The sponsor for Key Club this past year was Colleen Utter. The president was Guy Gunther, and Maureen Hallacy was the Vice-president. Casey Kuypers was the secretary, and Suzanne Higinbotham was the treasurer. Key Club had meetings every Tuesday morning, and the officers met every Friday morning. Over all, Key Club was an enthusiastic group. All of the kids were interested in the welfare of others. They often gave money and support to the needy. They all enjoyed Key Club, and had a good year.

We all care about the paper, not only for ourselves. but for the school. Indeed, The Ram Page staff members worked a team, and com- pleted every issue on time.

Karen Walker, alias Captain Crunch, can't keep a straight face so near Halloween. Community Conscious The members of National Honor Society spent a lot of time and effort on their club. Involvement in the community played a very big part. This year some of the community activities included teaching handicapped kids to swim for the Special Olympics, packing food in Christmas baskets with the Jeffco Action Center, and adopting nursing homes and families during holidays. The sponsor for N.H.S. was Rita Couture. She was very involved with the club but said she also likes the members to have responsibility. She added, It does a great deal for the reputation of Green Mountain. They're very outstanding young people for me to work with. This year there was close to fifty members selected. However, it was a very rigorous selection procedure. At the end of the first semester of the students' junior year, a list was arranged by grade point averages. All students with a 3.5 and above were notified that they were eligible for N.H.S. Then they went through a serious of applications, interviews, and evaluation. All together it was a three month process. They were evaluated in the areas of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Once elected to be in the club, they were required to attend 2f3 of all functions including the 17 meetings held every other week. This yearls president was Leslie Salyer, vice president was Apil Lidinsky, Secretary is Jenny Petch, Treasurer Ann Huge, and Historian Tammy Borgman. Over 22,000 other schools have National Honor Societies to help share their efforts and good will in communities all over America. 114 - National Honor Society Mark Anderson Chris Baker Tammy Borgman Greg Bublitz Scott Burks Dulci Chapa Steve Chase Laurin Collard Bruce Cooper Micky Cronin Kim Dryjanski Gretchen Flagge Rod GrifHn Kelleen Huang Anne Huge Paula Hyatt Michael Hytinen Amy Imgram Megan Isaac Kathy Jeffers Doug Johns Denise Kautzman Kristin Lang April Lidinsky Regina Loewin Chris Loop Cheryl Mallon Janette Manke Wendy Martin Cammy Michel Karen Painter Jenny Petch Kristin Plese Julie Pratt Dawn Shirlaw Gail Roberson Scott Roberts Leslie Salyer Rod Schreiber Debbie Shafer Kim Shifers Jung So Roger Spendlove Kim Steinkamp Scott Stevens Troy Tyson Susan Wach Karen Walker Laurie Wolf Jana Zamboni
