New additions KIein's extra curricular activities consisted of many clubs and organizations. Klein had two new clubs for the students to enjoy. The Business and Computer Clubs were formed to benefit students in future careers. The Business Club was organized to teach students basic management skills, office procedures and other important aspects of the business world. Included in their activities were field trips to various businesses and hosting many guest speakers. The Business Club sponsored eight outstand- ing business students each month selected by sponsors Janita King, Mary Viehoefer, Debra Ross and Chris Hutchison. The students' pictures and a bit of information were displayed on a special bulletin board in the Business Department. Also in the spring a banquet was held to honor the most outstanding business students of the year. The second club was the Computer Club which was open to all grades and incorporated science and math computer knowledge into the radio and television lab to learn electronic communications. Many special sessions were held to which guest speakers were invited. Many KHS teachers attended these sessions to obtain a greater knowledge of computers. They also attended several computer math tournaments and special conventions in our area. In addition, they sponsored a games-a-thon where students tried to beat the members' posted scores on selected computer games. New Clubs 87
