K ey Club understanding pathway to progress The sun shines brightly on a warm October afternoon. Students can be seen leaving school to relax and prepare for tomorrow. But others re- main at school for various reasons. A small group can be seen in the flower bed in front of the school. These are Key Club members doing their part in beautifying the school by working on their flower bed. Once again this year, Key Clubbers helped the com- munity through various pro- jects. The annual Kiwanas pancake supper was held and proved to be successful once again. Last year the club ranked number 22 out of the 200 clubs of this district. Jeffrey Lack, Clayton Shenker, Vince Vannorman and Michael Tisdell attend the Key Club meeting which is held once a month in room 101. Meetings began promptly at 7:30 p.m. and community projects were usually discussed.

During the summer, cheerleaders sponsored a Little Cheerleader workshop for children in elementary school. Christy Thurmond and Kathy Muhlstein assisted the children after they listened to instructions. The cheerleaders practice the form that won them a superior- rating at the CICA summer cheerleading camp in San Mar- cos At the workshop, the cheerleaders learned new pyramid formations and routines that they added to their repertoire. Being a cheerleader was a dream I have had since I was a little kid. It is a lot of fun and even more work than I expected, it takes time to become the best, it also takes hard work and deter- mination, but it is worth every bit of it. I get to meet a lot of dif- ferent people and make a lot of new friends through cheerleading. We are really representatives of our school and it is important to keep up a good image. Cheerleading takes a lot of working out and getting into shape both physically and mentally. Mary Neumann At the pep rally preceding the Homecoming game, the cheerleaders presented a mum to Mrs. Alma Kimball, sponsor, to show their appreciation for everything she has done for them. Mrs Kimball accom- panies the squad to all games and to summer workshop. Cheerleaders 169

When I joined Key Club at the beginn- ing of my freshman year, I wasn ' t really sure what I was getting into. I had gotten a letter from the club asking me to at- tend their first meeting. I went, found out what the club was all about, talked to the upperclassmen about the club, and officially joined the next week. Since that time. Key Club has given me the opportunity to serve people in the community and school in fun and ex- citing ways. Through the club ' s ac- tivities and Key Club con- ventions, I have made valuable friendships and learned a great deal about leadership and responsibili- ty. Without a doubt, Key Club has been the greatest experience of my high school years. David Lack: •••••••••• Officers: Back: Michael Tisdell. treasurer; David Lack, International secretary.
