Keyettes stir up a spaghetti menu Kecoughtan Keyettes greeted the new school year with enthusiasm. As a service club, they began their acti- Ivities during the summer vacation by sponsoring bake saies at Bethel High School for summer school students. Led by president Debbie Van Bibber, the club opened a successful year. In keeping with tradition, the Key- ettes co-sponsored the Homecoming float and the Mistletoe and Holly Ball with the Key Club. “Crack the Falcons”, a giant egg, headed the long procession of floats en route to Darling Stadium. Heralding the Yuletide season, “Christmas in Camelot” provided the backdrop for the Christmas ball. Couples danced to the music of Orpheus in the re-creation of a medieval ballroom. A new idea for fund raising added $236 to the treasury, as Keyettes tried their hand at cooking an Italian meal. Approximately 300 people attended the spaghetti dinner. Live music was provided as entertainment, while Keyettes acted as hostesses, waitresses, and chefs. Throughout the year, the club sup- ported nation-wide and state-wide non-profit organizations. The girls collected for the Heart and Leukemia Funds, and sold apple butter for the Virginia Jaycees to help retarded children. Candy sales and a booth at the ICC Carnival held May 4 provided other means for money-making. As in the past, the year closed with a cover dish supper for the members, and the club was turned over to the newly elected president. Front Row: Miss Cheryl Meldinger. Rita Soler, Judy Dunkallo.

Key Club vends Florida oranges School and community service projects highlighted the school year for the Kecoughtan Key Club. Co-sponsoring the Mistletoe and Holly Ball with the Keyettes, they aided in decorating by constructing an immense fireplace, the center attraction of the dance. Turning out for a walk-a-thon, mem- bers supported the Leukemia Founda- tion by biking along eight miles of trail at Newport News City Park. To support the local Kiwanis Club and to boost their dwindling treasury, the Key Clubbers sold cases of oranges and grapefruit from Florida. The Key Club participated in various activities sponsored by the Kiwanis Club throughout the year. In the fall, members attended a Kiwanis Club picnic held at Deer Park, and each Wednesday two Key Club members attended a Kiwanis Club breakfast at a local restaurant. Elected to lead the club in 1974- 1975, Chris Fuller took charge at one of the final meetings. 24— Self-expression
