lakes %m The Interact Club is one of the many ser- vice organizations at King. Because In- teract is an all male group, female honorary members are selected at the beginning of the year. Under the leadership of Roger Edwards. Interact was active in many different proj- ects, in both school and the community. One of their many successful endeavors was their annual “Interact Take-Over Day”. On this day, members dressed up like mafiosos searched for and captured the presidents of every school club. Each presi- dent was released when its members had brought in a ransom of forty cans of food. Through this activity. Interact was able to donate many can goods to different needy organizations. Each of these projects and activities aided in creating a sense of ac- complishment in each of the members. Interact 145
