Sh Br MON RUE MA BS' INGLF The Key Club actively made the scene in the social whirl under the leadership of President Bob Forester, Vice-Presi- dent Clayton Maki, and Secretary-Treasurer Doug Parent. A prospective member must be nominated by someone al- ready in the club. He is then voted on. Once accepted in the club, the new participant must attend a minimum of three meetings and must pay dues of 32. 50 a year. Successfully passing this rather selective recruiting for new members entitles the boy to participate in the many activi- ties. Money-raising events include car washes, and canned food drives. This year the Key Club sold tickets to the pan- cake breakfast held at Mt. Miguel by the Kiwanis Club. During their weekly Tuesday night meetings, the boys plann- ed social events as well.

.YAIJEWIN 6' 6'0VL4.S' SHOW 5' RINGS Organized last year by those interested in learning possibly to imitate the Beatles, Guitar Club has flour- shed. New faces constantly appeared as the club at- tendance soared vvith each meeting. Hard work and diligent practice began to show as the sounds emerging from room 406 became more and more pleasing to the 931' . Sponsored by Mr. Scherf, who occasionally hypnotized members with a fast Flamenco or a sad Mexican la- ment, the club met every other week to work on song sheets mineographed and chorded by el seifor. Pieces ranging from Malaguef1'a and Greensleeves to House of the Rising Sim and Just a Little were enjoyed to the fullest extent by members who intently concentrated on the radio or a record to figure out the chords and bring the results to be scrutinized, cor- rected if necessary, and typed up for the benefit of the iff -mfliifmiie :sag x L it . These three members are capable of producing more sound than the entire club put together with their electric heart-throbbers. These dangerous individuals are Alan Peterson, Mr. Scherf, and Scott Oakes rest of the club. A few members even came up with original compostiions which were highly praised by admiring listeners . Most of the budding guitarists played a Western instrument, but a smattering of Mexican and air-shattering electric guitars was found throughout the year. A mixing of these types resulted in Louie Louie with a Hush-a-Bye Bachground. Though cacophany was sometimes the outcome, the music aficionados derived much pleasurefrom their own talents. The most faithful attenders were identified by the calloused finger tips on the left hand, and the carefully nourished fingernails on the right hand to allow for clearer playing. The latter virtue is difficult to attain, and necessitates either the patience of Job or an almost fanatic zeal for guitar music. Yeah, yeah, yeah! fmf? sl, . l.,f , ,K ,, is Ja... Gathered on the lawn before commencing their afternoon concerts are the members of the club. The membership was in a state of flux- many leaving, many drawn to the club. For the benefit of guitar-unoriented Monarchs, members are striking an A chord. Different methods of accomplishing this are shown above by the expert guitarists. 80
