Aching arms raked leaves and washed windows in order to br- ing in enough money for the Thanksgiving Food Drive. The boys also parked cars for the Haunted House and attended a Leadership Training Conference in York County. For the Keyettes and Key Club, it wasn ' t all hard work though.

The Rocket Club was started in October when a survey showed that many students were in- terested. Its purpose was to promote the building and flying of model airplanes and rockets and to generate interest in all other aero-space activities. Led by president Kevin Newman, the members constructed and fired several rockets and conducted a rocket firing demonstration for the science departments of various schools. They enter- tained the veterans and the elderly folks at the nursing home during the Christmas holidays.
