THE MIND'S EYE PROVIDED A PLACE FOR CREATIVE MINDS TO DISPLAY THEIR WORK With threats of death and destruction any students of West Valley who did no submit their short stories, photos, or artistically oriented projects, The lVlind's Eye staff got the 80-81 school year rolling. Probably the most noticeable differenc this year was the Mind's Eye sponsored apple-of-the-month awards, in which one teacher a month would be the proud recipient of a huge plastic apple full of real apples for the teacher to munch down during the course of the month. During the meetings after school on Mondays and with the help of their advisor, Mrs. Clark, the Mind's Eye staff drummed up new recruits, new support, and also new threats to spring on the unsuspecting students of West Valley. So for those students who had that certain ability to dream up a good short story, take amazing pictures, or doodle works of art on paper, the Mind's Eye offered an outlet for the literary talents.. The Mind's Eye will always make themselves heard, and they gave West Valley students a chance to be heard through their own natural talents. Ann Clark designs an 'Apple-of-the-Month' poster. Taking time out from their work, Mike McCarthy, Paul McCarthy, and Martha Batchelor prepare to crucify Clay Triplehorn. 50 MlND'S EYE

The Key Club underwent some big changes. The most notable change for the club was that they no longer had the Keyhole. With only seven members at the beginning of the year, there were not enough members to run the Keyhole. The Pacific Northwest Key Club Convention was held during the spring in Washington. The fact that several members were able to attend the convention as well as the International Key Club Convention held in July attracted many new students to the Key Club. Officers of the Key Club included Vice-President Lars Stevenson, Treasurer Linda Candage, and Secretary Kim Pelosi, all of whom provided invaluable assistance to the club's president and the rest of the Key Club. Secretary Kim Pelosi seeks some information on the next Key Club function. KEY CLUB 49
