CLUB GETS It’s been another hard-working year for Key Club. Eighty people successfully donated blood for the Red Cross drive. This has become an annual event sponsored by Key Club. When asked about the Valentine’s Dance, which they also sponsored, Mardi Williams said “We made lots of money, and it was a good fundraiser for the Key Club, and it was very successful as a student body activity.” JOBS DONE Key Club members also volunteered their time to help at the Soroptomists’ Dinner, and in the trash pickup at Wortman Park. The District Key Club Convention, was located in Bellevue, Washington during April. Over seven hundred members were present at the Convention. Key Club members also attended workshops, where they listened to guest speakers, and gained new ideas for Key Club next year. Mr. A1 Kuhn is advisor.

A BUSY BODY Ever wonder what it’s like to spend all of your Friday lunches with Mr. Biederman? A question that probably hasn’t come to mind too often. But ask any one of the 38 members of student senate and they’ll be sure to tell you. Student senate meets every Friday at 12:10 without fail in Mr. Biederman’s room. What prompts them to return every time may be the cookies supplied at every meeting or perhaps the captivating discussions bring them back each week. But most would have to say, dedication. Throughout the year, senate discusses topics ranging from who should be in charge of flowers at Homecoming to the passing of petitions requesting a nationally televised nuclear forum led by President Reagan. In addition to issues such as these, senate also has a big hand in planning such activities as Homecoming, the canned food drive, and various all-school assemblies. While the planning involves hard work and participation from all members, everyone has fun in the process. Associated Student Body (ASB) officers are chosen by the whole school at the end of the school year. Brave candidates are required to campaign for their positions which includes speaking in front of the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior classes. Class officers campaign on a smaller level, usually with posters and buttons. Senators compete at the beginning of the next school year for the five positions in each class. This year, the Juniors had 24 candidates to choose from in electing their senators. Mr. Biederman, although already accustomed to a large luncheon party, had eight more members added due to the Freshmen. This did not phase the senate, in fact, it boosted enthusiasm and participation among members. Occasionally, the noise level reached record heights but eventually, all was calm and the meeting continued. The senate enjoys having visitors in the meetings. Students who are interested in learning how the school’s government works are welcome to drop in. So, next time you get curious as to what is so great about spending your Friday lunches in room 51, come in and take a look. But bring your own chair ... R.J. Photography 14
