The color section and a new 35mm. camera for the publications staff were donated by the club. Other new projects included setting up a S100 scholarship fund to be given to a deserving senior boy or girl, and sponsoring a turkey shoot. The Key Club also helped the parent Kiwanians by washing silverware and waiting on tables at the annual Pancake Day, held in january, in addition to ushering atthe Travelogue series. Involved in many school activities, members sold cokes and popcorn at home basketball games, seats and programs at football games, decorated a float for the homecoming parade, and, as MHS tradition dictates, was in charge of the solemn Easter assembly. Again this year, Key Club co-sponsored, along with the M Club, the second annual Talent Show, with the proceeds going to both organizations. Members of Key Club gained valuable experience in working together toward a common goal. They learned the power of an organized body of respon- sible citizens in a cooperative effort for the benefit of others. labovel Active in Student Council's Bundle Days Project, Key Clubbers Tom Balser, chairman, and Randy Smith energetically fill clothing bags. fabove right!
