They met once in a blue moon and held a banquet on June 8th at the Psychopathic ward of LGH. National Honor Society High achievements in schol- arship, leadership, character, and service were the require- ments of National Honor Soci- ety. A 3.2 grade average was needed for admission to the club. Then faculty members scored students on the remain- ing requirements. National Honor Society members helped children at the Sunland Retardation Cen- ter. ln November, students had a car wash to raise money to send delegates to District, State and National Conven- tions. Nebula Trading science fiction books and magazines was one of the many things Nebula did during the 1976- 77 school year. Members of the science fiction club made plans to initiate a science fic- tion class, attended science fiction conventions, and started a science fiction club newspaper of reviews of books and short stories sub- mitted by students. The pur- pose of Nebula was to pro- mote interest in science fiction. The money that they raised during the year was used for the banquet and to send stu- dents to an annual science fic- tion convention in September of 1977 at Miami. Members were required to write a brief essay on their qualifications for ioining the club. Photo Lab The students in Phot Lab learned photograph , skills, went to a photog' ,shy work- shop sponsored by Bryn-Alan Studios of Tampa and fur- nished photos for school publi- cations. Photographs were sold to students and money made went towards the pur- chase of film, chemicals and paper for processing. Photography students were chosen,by application. There was at least one student in the lab every period. Spanish Club Enrichment of the Spanish culture and customs was the main objective of Spanish Club. After meeting require- ments of having had at least one year of Spanish, members were involved in such activities as the Foreign Language Fair and international trips. Span- ish Club, along with French Club, sponsored the Devil Stomp and o Carribean cruise to Puerto Rico and Nassau. As did many other organizations, Spanish Club painted banners during football season to pro- mote spirit among students at KHS. Student Council In order to properly guide the school and the students' participation in activities, a special group of well qualified representatives was needed. This was the goal and purpose of the council. Under the lead- ership of Jack Johnson, the Student Council was made up rf eight officers, eighteen class senators, and represent- atives from each homeroom. The student body sold Juice Bowl drinks in an effort to pro- vide the necessary funds for the Homecoming Dance and sending the officers to the Dis- trict and State Conventions. Student Advisory Committee As a go between for the student body and administra- tion, Student Advisory Com- mittee worked for the better- ment of school relations. The Committee proposed to pave the D.C.T. driveway, and to obtain a iuice machine for the lunchroom. Members of Stu- dent Advisory were picked randomly by the sponsors, Mrs. Newton and Mr. Vetter, with equal racial representa- tion. Trident Caught in a turmoil between producing an annual plus giving KHS a new and unique style of yearbook that the students would remember was where the Trident Staff found themselves at the begin- ning of the year. With the steady hand land sometimes mindl of the editor, Ginger Williams, and the wit of the sponsor, Lloyd Price, and the staff's 952 perspiration and 5'k imagination, they pro- duced a pictorial 'novel' of Kathleen Senior High. The activities the staff undertook were selling ads to businesses in the Lakeland area and yearbook sales to the student body to help bring the annual to the students at a reasona- ble rate. All money went to the publication of the year- book. The new members were chosen by filling out applica- tions which were carefully studied by the previous year's members. The staff met every day fourth period. The 1976- 77 yearbook staff produced a new style of annual and the result was spectacular. Clubs I 289
