Volunteers give of themselves ■■r} They did the dirty work. They organized breakfasts and buffets. They donated a pint of themselves. They comprised the volun- teers. Cleaning gravestones, selling nachos and donuts and donating blood gave the school, as well as the community, something to talk about. TO ASSURE A SPOT ON THE TEAM, in a club or a favorite after-school activity, players and members, like unior Andy Bennett, took advantage of the tutorial programs to stay on top. Sponsored by National Honor Society, sessions met after school at 4 p.m. in various rooms with members offering help in all subjects. LEECHING? NO. DONATIONS! The annual Student Council sponsored Blood Drive gave students 17 a nd older a chance to contribute. The council collected over 80 pints for the Wcstlakc account. After thorough testing for viruses, the blood arrived for immediate use at Brackenridge Hospital. WITH THE NO PASS-NO PLAY RULE Still in effect. Students took advantage of the tutorial program after school to assure their spots in extracurricular activities. To earn hours of service to the school upholding the goals of NHS, members devoted afterschool hours to the tutorial program assisting students in all subject areas. OVERFLOWING WITH CHRISTMAS CHEER, New Addition Club members celebrated the holiday season by adopting a needy family including a mother and her two sons. At a potluck dinner at Chelsea Barker ' s house, members contributed canned food, clothing and other useful items. RIPPING UP WEEDS AND REMOVING GARBAGE around gravemarkcrs preserved two years of work put into the Eanes Cemetery as Keyvvannettes took on the pro ject again. Television coverage on the historical place in its cleaned up state made all the hard work more worth the effort. WHEN HUNGER SET IN during Friday football games, fans headed towards the concession stand where an awaiting junior stood. Or, if you didn ' t want to leave your seat, you could grab a Coke from the wandering junior concessionairs. The leisure time sacrificed by juniors paid off for $2,300 worth. 1121 Take Your Pick ORGANIZATIONS

Membership merriment Take six houses, 15 gallons of ice cream and key chains, add Hyline, Choir and Mu Alpha Theta and the results intensify friendship through a little tradition, lots of food and much more than fun and games. Pilgrim- ages, posters and projects gave definition to the meaning of membership. ICE CREAM, NERVOUS FRESHMAN, veteran upper- classmen and the beginning of a new school year. Not a local school hangout, but rather the Choir ' s ice cream social September 2, where sophomore Kate Newcomb enjoyed a strawberry cone. PRESENTED FOR THE NINTH YEAR in a row and earning approximately $3500 to put into good use, the Hyline presented its annual Christmas Pilgrimage home tour. Six VVcstbank homes, decorated by their owners in Christmas fashion, became the publics for a day. EXCHANGING GIFTS RESULTED IN GAMES of Word Scrabble and playdough creativity December 17 in the Fine Arts Center at the Mu Alpha Theta Christmas party. Though attendance was minimal due to early vacationers, members brought food and succeeded in promoting the Yulctide spirit. FRIENDS, GRADES, SPANISH AND FOOD defined the visit to Jalisco Bar, September 16, for Club Amistad members where they were welcomed with chips and qucso to celebrate Mexico ' s Independence Day. Before the enchiladas arrived, coloring on placemats proved entertaining. A WEEKEND OF A LIFETIME titled the seminar on self- motivation that seven Keywanncttes carpooled 10 hours to attend in Oklahoma. While learning useful skills for self- improvement and increasing enthusiasm, the club members represented Wcstlake among the 200 in attendance. A TIME FOR GOODBYES and a time to indulge in a little fun gathered seniors in the old gym for Project Graduation. The fajita dinner, casino, auction and then donuts, juice and a slide presentation entertained from after graduation until 5:30 a.m. climaxed with a time capsule filled with senior memorabilia.
