Two clubs follow diverse interests Two clubs unique to Loara ' s campus were M.G.M. and Kiwanis. Bowl. Mentally Gifted Minors club was an active social group under the leadership of Dorothy Paridon. Kiwanis Bowl ' s purpose was to prepare for competition with other schools. They were guided by Dr. Clyde Vineyard, advisor. M.G.M. club participated in many fund raising events, including a bagel sale at nutrition and lunch which raised money for their trips to New York City, Morrow Bay and Death Valley. To make a conscious effort to provide challenging goals and objec- tives for each M.G.M. student was the goal of M.G.M. advisor Mrs. Paridon and president Cheryl Fong. Loara ' s diligent Kiwanis Bowl members spent hours practicing for their academic competition. Before school and at lunch every day they quizzed each other in math, science, geography, art, music and entertainment. 1.

Saxons join honor, service groups The diversify of tfie clubs on campus serves studenfs in many different ways. There are so many clubs, said sen- ior Eileen Bracken, that it is easy to join the club that is just right for you. Academics was one of Loara ' s finest attributes since the majority of the student body was college bound. Many of these academic organizations and clubs encouraged the students to excel in their field of study. National Honor Society was a club for the seniors with a 3.0 grade point average or above. California Scholarship Federation was another club with strict requirements. A total of seven points in any academic subjects would qual- ify the student. An additional three points plus a 3.5 grade point average is needed to be in this club. Two other clubs helped to add service and culture. The Keywanettes is a service organization dedicated to helping the community. The second is Spanish club. Spanish club was formed this year so students could learn some of the Spanish cultures. 1 1979-80 California Scholarship Federation. 2.
