Key Club dance Yields 354,000 Key Club, one of the largest clubs in the school, is the high school branch of the Kiwanis Club. Its main objective is to help others. This year many Key Club mem- bers donned Halloween costumes and went trick-or-treating for UNI- CEF. Later in the year, they had a Thanksgiving food drive in which the classes competed to see who could collect the most cans of food. The food was then donated to un- derprivileged families in Salina. Key Club members also helped with the Special Olympics last spring, giving many handicapped and re- tarded children a chance to partici- pate in sports activities. At their an- nual twenty-four hour Marathon Dance, the Key Club collected nearly S4000. The proceeds were used to buy a new public address system and to aid a Salina student receiving treatment for cancer. 1. Exhausted participants rest at the end of the Key Club Dance Marathon. 2.
