llllll Helping Left a Good Taste for Those in Service Clubs Three clubs on campus, Key Club, Bea- ver Builders, and Pep Club, which were known as the service clubs, helped their members gain a different sense of accom- plishment through reaching out and help- ing others in the community. Key Club, Kiwanis Educates the Youth Club, at the beginning of this year found itself over one-hundred dollars in debt. Rela- tions had all but been cut off with their sponsoring Kiwanis Club, and they had lost their faculty sponsor. For the first time in the club's 26 year history at SHS, its future looked bleak. The Key Club board of governors, who head the vast organization which is found in 6 countries, at that time came up with the year's theme. The theme stated what area each club was supposed to concentrate on throughout the year. lt couldn't have come at a better time, stated President Kirk Gregor. The theme they chose was, Rebuild from Within. According to the theme, we were to take a look at ourselves as a club, set new goals, and re-establish our values. Our service projects were to have empha- sis on strengthening the home, school, and community, explained Treasurer, Gayle Johnson. Putting together this year's calendar, marked the clubs turn around. Johnson, also calendar editor, felt that it helped to emphasize relations with their Kiwanis Club in addition to the five-hundred dollars it brought in. With the money we were able to carry out projects like sponsoring a family at Christmas for the Salvation Army, working with Easter Seals, and mak- ing a donation to Cerebral Palsy, added Johnson. Key Club also sponsored and set up a buddy system for new students. Ac- cording to Johnson, We feel we really have rebuilt from within. The sugary taste of hope helped Pep Club overcome a bitter year. ln past years at SHS it had become an expected sight at football games: a section of girls wearing matching T-shirts, rooting the team on, and in the process promoting school spirit. But instead, the group this year was seldom found together at the games. According to the new sponsor, Ms. Strang, The 35 member club simply had trouble getting it together. The group containing one junior, two 20 Beaver BuildersfKey ClubjPep Club sophomores, had up of freshman girl a strong hand of le' ber, Kelli Sarkis, t upperclassmen mi traditionally been made s and lacked, Strang felt dership it needed.
