The members of the Academic Achievement Bowl proudly display a few of their many awards Seniors Michael Goroff, Joel Meyers, and Barry Rieger listen carefully as the practice question is read Some of the members of the Key Club have a thoughtful discussion at one of their meetings lub Supports Needy The Key Club is a charity, fund-raising organization directly related to the Skokie Kiwanis Club. The club exists solely to fulfill the civic responsibility of helping others who are in need. This year’s activi- ties included a peanut drive, a bake sale, a paper drive, a bake-a-thon, and a round-robin racquetball tournament. The proceeds from these activities benefited such organizations as the North Shore Association for the Retarded, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Spastic Paralysis Foundation, the March-of-Dimes, and a local convalescent home. The senior offi- cers of this year’s Key Club are: president Stuart Bernsen, vice-president C.J. Ap- pleson, and secretary treasurer Adam Lashinsky. The main idea of the Key Club was best expressed by Adam La- shinsky who said, “The great thing about the Key Club is that we do good things for people and have a great time doing it! -Dennis Sanchez Key Club president Stuart Bernsen listens carefully to one of the member's suggestions Key Club-Academic Achievement Bowl

The two organizations which students turned to when they either needed help or wanted to help others, were Student Leadership and Project Lead. Both of the clubs, sponsored by Mary Murphy, in- volved leadership and volunteer skills for the benefit of others. This year Mrs. Mur- phy worked with two assistants; Bob Sheinin and Al Ross They came to all the meetings with advise and new ideas for the members. Project Lead began its year with an Orientation Unlimited. The leaders volun- teered their time over the summer to plan and organize this event. The Project Leaders also held a car wash, which helped to raise money for the Response Center. The members portrayed their de- votion and efforts in several different areas in order to serve their community. Student Leadership, however, dealt only with the students inside of the school. There were weekly meetings which consisted of planning of the leader- ship groups and a great number of activi- ties. These activities helped the future leaders get to know each other, learn how to cope with their own problems a little better, become good listeners, and just simply how to relax. A great number of ideas were gotten from a workshop which was held at Niles East in late October. Besides learning new techniques, I al- ways loved just opening up to the group and finding out that I wasn’t the only one with a certain problem,” commented one of the members. After several meetings, the leaders paired up and recruited stu- dents for the groups. The leaders shared their techniques and experiences with their groups. Svetlana Torgovnik Becky Baron.
