When our ship of life is tossed by the tempests of misunderstandings and the an- gry winds of injustice, we will cast our Anchors of Courage, Wisdom, and Trust to hold us fastf' The thirty-two members initiated in the spring of 1986 were to learn the true meaning behind the creed. That induction took the total club mem- bership up to fifty-two girls. This alone made sponsors and members anxious to begin the 1986-1987 school year. However, things did not turn out exactly as the Anchors hoped. By the be- ginning of the second quarter, sixty per- cent of the girls in the club were put on probation because of their lack of partici- pation. This left only twenty-six girls ac- tively involved. Motivated by the need to redeem them- selves in the eyes of their fellow club mem- 150fAnchor Club bers and sponsors, Anchors began to put forth large amounts of their personal time to benefit their club, school, and commu- nity. Kellie Cunningham demonstrated her dedication by contributing twenty-six hours of her time during the month of November to keep the Anchor Club afloat. She did this by helping with activi- ties around the school and community such as: selling West cups, assisting teach- ers at Southwest Elementary, helping teachers at West, and attending Anchor Club meetings. Members served their school by provid- ing teachers with after school help washing boards, putting up bulletin boards, and checking papers. Anchors also helped with football stadium clean ups, and provided refreshments for the fall open house. The club benefited by taking an active role in the leadership of the school. The Anchor Club also benefited by eventually making itself known as a responsible and reliable organization. The community profitted from the club's involvement with Senior Services, 2 day care for the elderly located on Sila: Creek Parkway. The youth of the commu- nity benefited from the Anchors who aide their teachers at Southwest Elementar School once each week by tutoring, grad- ing papers, and leading activities. The club also rang bells for the Salva- tion Army on December 13 and 22. I1 addition, members worked at the Chris mas Clearing House from December 8-18 Girls who worked with the Clearing Houss were asked to wrap gifts, to take inven tories, to answer phones, and to be go phersf, Overall, the Anchor Club remainer buoyant through 1987 with the hard worl and dedication of the girls who refused tc let their Anchor sink.

This plan asked each member of the club to donate fifty hours of his own time to the community. After the first year, Manhours for Mankind became the international Key Club theme for the second year since it was so well received. Now, this is KCI,s permanent theme. Every summer Key Club International holds an International convention to es- tablish the officers in this level, as well as all the themes and goals for the upcoming yearj' said President, Andy Mueller. Other activities in which the Key Club was involved include Rainbow Mile, which helps to raise money for Muscular Dis- trophy. Also, Key Club sponsored a Valen- tines Dance which was held after the Mt. Tabor game. They also were active with the Clean and Green program, which helped West win its Clean and Green award again. Mr. Barlow felt that, For the past two years, the Key Club has been the best service club at West. The Key Club is an excellent service organization that gives its members an op- portunity to serve their school and com- munity. It helps to develop certain quali- ties such as leadership and responsibility. But most of all, the Key Club is a lot of fun, stated Andy Mueller.
