Sierra Societ Enjoying the Environment by Marcia Dittemore Sierra Society provided outdoor appreciation exper- ience and opportunities for interested students. Last year the Sierra Society had twenty active members. The Sierra Society par- ticipated in many activities. A few major events includ- ed canoe trips to Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Minnesota rivers and lakes. Also, a major backpack trip, held each summer, has lifted Sierra Society members off to such places as Colorado, Maine, Florida and Washington. Sierra Society got in- volved with community- related projects such as cleaning out a portion of the Heritage Trail. They also posted boundary signs in the Mines of Spain and participated in the Great Iowa Roadside Clean-up. Said Richard Worm, a co-director of the club, The Sierra Society is con- stantly on the look-out for ways its members can con- tribute to the protection, preservation or enhan- cement of the tri-state environment while enjoy- ing it at the same time. 11 On the summer trip to Colorado, Sally Schwartz and Ann Curran trudge up a rocky slope in their quest to reach the top of the mountain. 21 The Group in Colorado.

'nal y Key Club I.-if 'xp--e Helping Societ by Tracy Steffen Key club is an organiza- tion sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. Conrad Kohlmann, Hempstead math instructor, acts as an adviser to the club. Kohl- mann, as well as student officers, organize the club both in school and in community projects. Senior, Bill Gorton was president and lt. governor, junior, Cathy Cocayne was vice- president: junior, Kelly Lewin was secretary of the club: and junior, Dean Gorton was the treasurer. Key club is beneficial to the participating students. Kohlmann said, Leader- ship opportunities are pre- sented in key club. The members get the chance to meet adult business and professional men who belong to the Kiwanis Club and they are also given the chance to travel for conven- tions. The club contributes to the community with assis- tance and fund-raisers through a nationally organ- ized club. The members assisted the Salvation Army with bell ringing and they also helped to hang the wreaths in the downtown area. The club also con- tributes on Coffee Day by delivering and picking up the canisters and they also had some members that participated in the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon. Less acknowledged, yet no less important, activities are the club's visitations to nursing homes where sing- a-longs are conducted. The club also makes similar visits with the residents at ARC. One major fund-raiser sponsored by the club was the school's rock-a-thon. Money raised by the rockers went toward the spastic paralysis founda- tion. Besides the said causes, some of the funds raised are used to send club members to the District and Interna- tional Conventions. During the International Conven- tion, key club members from across the country gathered together. The con- vention was held in Florida this year where members discussed their projects and possible future changes. Referring to the District Convention, Cathy Cocayne said, We met a lot of new friends while learning more about our club and its potential to do well for our community. 11 Top row: Ken Gorton, Dean Gorton, Billy Hardy, Kristi Tigges, Wayne Knockel, Conrad Kohlmann.

There was much more enthusiasm. Penning believes this is largely due to the increased amount of sponsors. Sponsors helped the club by providing snacks for them after their runs. They ran every Monday and Wednesday along with weekend runs. The season began the first week back to school after Thanksgiving and went until the first 31 What dedication!

The school announ- cements contained less in- formation about polar bear club this year, yet there was more participation. Norman Anderson, another club adviser, said, It wasn't a large group, but they were consistent. They didn't just run once - they came most every time. This group was also more close-knit. They knew about the runs, and they wanted to run. They didn't need to hear about them on the announ- cements. 83
