Were more snowflakes made for the Mistletoe and Holly Ball than paper flowers for the Homecoming class floats? If one asked any Keyette or Keyclubber, the answer would definitely be a re- sounding YES! Among millions of shining stars, the Kecoughtan annex was transformed into King Arthur ' s legendary court in the mystical kingdom of Camelot, complete with crossing swords and shields that led to the drawbridge. Banners de- picting various medieval scenes graced the walls of the castle as gleaming silver candlebra and elegant desserts embellished the refreshment table, add- ing a sophisticated flair to the Ball. Devoted club members donated alu- minum foil and their time to help con- struct the medieval scene. Night after night. Keyettes and Keyclubbers met at Shelly Smith ' s house to cut out stars, erect the drawbridge, build the castle, and design and sew banners. During Life ' s break, Keyette pres- ident. Mary Huntley, presented a bouquet of flowers and an initialed pewter bracelet on behalf of both clubs to Chairman Shelly Smith in appreciation of her diligent work on the dance decorations. At midnight, the knights and their maidens re-entered the 20th century, leaving the magical atmosphere of Camelot. I can ' t see the tracing line!
