Opening Locked Doors Hey, why didn ' t you join the Key Club? Why? My dad isn ' t a locksmith! No, it has nothing to do with keys. The Key Club is . . . A community service group. It is affiliated with Kiwanis International and plans events to- gether. If you can remember back to Christ- mas, you probably bought your tree from a Key Clubber. They took your shoes at the dances in the gym and, in addition, planned a fund-raising dinner, with the proceeds going to Children ' s Hospital. They looked forward to more chances to serve their community. The officers of the Key Club go over their notes. Bill, Please don ' t eat the magazine! screeched Chris Lechner.

No Guts No Glory Mike deGuzman takes a break while loading the bus Snow! Where? In U.C? Well almost. The U.C. High Ski Club headed by Jean Baumann and Ed Yandall, in a sense brought snow to U.C. High. The club offered the students an excellent opportunity to ski at conveniently re- duced rates. The first trip was to Mammoth where they encountered a wind chill factor of forty degrees on the first day. The rest of the weather was great and the snow was all pow- dery commented Maurice Johnson. The trip accommodated experienced skiers as well as first time beginners like George Balle, who dis- covered paralleling on his second day. You just have to go for it! said George. Another benefit of the Ski Club was being able to ski with classmates and friends. The skiers got to know their fellow members better and also ex- changed skiing tips. We have a fun group commented Ms. Baumann. Kristen Strange and Jackie Rios take a lift to the top, Kris Stewart having a little trouble with her skis. Maurice Johnson heads for the lift lines A little ski ballet from George Balle. Kelli Gragg and Ross Talner get ready for a run. Ski Club 43
