Key Club The water rushed in a wild torrent into the street White soap bubbles danced upon its crest like tiny ships. Huge feet splashed nois- y through the stream while buckets sponges and hoses were tossed from one boy to another. Elbow grease was used and finally after veral hours of washing cars the Key Club had earned itself enough money to keep it going strong all year. This organization, spon- ired by the local Kiwanis Club IS mainly philanthropic, The boys who are in it promote citizenship and help on such drives as the larch of Dimes The officers are George Walsh president, Bill Webb, vice-presidentg Jeff Ritchie, secretary, Rief Kessler treasurer. Public Relations Club The little girl raised herself on one elbow and reached out to take the gift from the smiling Santa Claus. Slowly, with his help, she unwrapped the present and to her delight found a large doll with blue eyes. For the first time, since she had come to the hospital, thc child smiled and timidly looked up at the towering figure before her. She grasped the doll tighter in her arms and said in a small voice, 'gThank you. Heartwarm- ing scenes as this one were made possible because of the Public Relations Club. Each Christmas they take gifts which they have collected, down to Childrens' Hospital, and with the help of one Santa Claus, distribute them to the children. This, though, is just one of the activities of the Public Relations Club. Their money-making proj- ect, the She-Male Contest, not only raises funds, but adds a delightful variety of entertainment for the school. The officers are, Emily Throg- morton, president, Reiner Coldring, vice-presi- dent, Janet Paper, secretary, Bob Shipley, treas- urerg Leesa Wallace, sgt-at-armsg Dale Fried- man, historian. I75
