low.
We arrived at Newark just 36
minutes later and quickly boarded
a blue and white helicopter which
~ took us to New York International
Airport. The ride in the helicopter
was quite noisy and upsetting. We
flew over the Statue of Liberty and
we were amazed to find thatithad a
greenish tint to it.
Upon landing at Idlewild, we
checked our tickets and found we
had a three hour wait ahead of us.
While we were walking around we
were fascinated by three dirty, bare-
footed beatniks who were anxiously
‘awaiting the arrival of a planefrom
Europe. We were amazed to learn
that they were all of very prominent
New York families.
At 5 o’clock we boarded the jet
~ and before taking off we received
emergency instructions. Soon we
“were moving slowly down the air
field. We had to wait our turn be-
fore taking off as there were three
planes ahead of us. Finally our
turn came, and as we raced down
the field we could see five planes
awaiting their turn behind us.
~The ridewas much smoother than
ine one in the smaller plane, but the
~ clouds got boring to look at after
awhile. Sometimes it seemed as if
we were in the Arcticregion because
the clouds resembled snow-covered
mountains. The most amazing
thing about the ride in the jet was
that we flew at 35,000 feet and it
took only 2 hours and 5 minutes
for the whole trip. The most dis-
tressing part of the ride was that
the seats in the jet were three across
and it became extremely hot while
landing and taking off because the
air-conditioning was turned off
then.

by Georgia McCutcheon
Sheryl Stanley, my parents, and I recently spent a week in
~ Nassau. We left Avoca on June 13 at noon, having many
doubts as to the stability of thesmall plane. We had read that
the choice seats were thosedirectly to therear of the wings and
we were eager to be first to board the plane so that we could
get these. But, as we got on we noticed that the plane already
~ had passengers aboard, and it was obvious that these people
knew just which seats were best. However, we did manage to
get fairly good seats giving us a perfect view of the sights be-
About 7 o’clock we were directly
over the Bahama Islands, but it
wasn’t until 25 minutes later that
we stepped out into warm gusts of
tropical air. The first thing we did
was to have ourluggage checked at
customs. Soon we were on an Amer-
ican made jitney bus headed for
Hotel Montigue.
After unpacking we went down to
the After-Deck where a combo
played. They were very talented
and had made tours of the United
States and Canada. Here we were
shocked to learn there was no age
limit on drinking, but still we had
to order cokes.
On Sunday morning we took a
taxi into town and walked around
for quite a while, deciding which
church we would like to attend.
We finally ended up at a Scottish
Kirk (Presbyterian Church) which
was air-conditioned. That after-
noon we went swimming in the
ocean, which wasn’ttoo cooling but
it was a nice change from the water
around home.
On Monday morning we took a
tour of the island. We were disap-
pointed to find that it consisted
mainly of run down native shacks.
There were also many beautiful
estates, but these were owned by
Americans and Britains. Included
in the tour were a visit to a fort
built by Napoleon in the 1700’s,
and a flamingo show. We were
taken to the water tower where we
viewed the entire island and nearby
we saw the Queen’s Staircase which
consists of 66 steps cut out of solid
stone by slaves in their apprecia-
tion to Queen Victoria for freeing
them.

THE DALLAS POST— THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1963
Key Club Upholds Motto, ‘We Build.’
Dallas Senior High School
Key Club And Drill Units
This year, as in the past, the Key Club of Dallas Senior
High School has a full schedule, devoid of an open week.
Though school has not yet begun, this well-organized club has
numerous working plans — plans that will eventuate under the
capable leadership of two faculty members.
The Key Club is sponsored by the Dallas Kiwanians, whose
motto is “We build”. It is thegoalof the Key (lub to uphold
this motto. The projected schedule, herein reported, illustrates
the Club’s earnest effort to continue taking part in the com-
munity, as well as in school.
Soon after school begins in Sep-
tember, the Key Club commences
its regular meeting. Major organi-
zation is achieved quickly, and first
plans include those for a cider drive
in late September. Also, beginning
in September, club members will
help operate the refreshmentstands
at all home football games.
Monthly activities include: the
collection of stamps for the benefit
of missionaries; the aiding of eld-
erly citizens in the community; and
the filing of achievement reports to
the state committees.
In October, new members, who
have successfully passed approval
of the club, begin a week of initia-
tions, terminating with an inspira-
tional induction ceremony.
November is a very busy month
for the club. Food is collected for
the needy, and members also assist
the Kiwanis women in the same
cause. The club also helps set up
and serve two dinners—the Ki-
wanis Harvest Moon Ball and
Rotary’s annual Turkey Dinner.
At all times the club members are
prepared to help in time of emer-
gency. Many times they have wil-
lingly submitted their aid when
called upon. There are Key Club-
bers ready to help in odd jobs
throughout the community. Many
members serve as ushers in their
respective churches each Sunday.
December begins a full winter
schedule. Foremost in the eyes of
the club at this time of year, is the
collection of food supplies and
clothing for citizens who are in need.
Most members take part whole
heartedly in this project.
Winter sports receive much aid
from the club. Members help setup
by Tom Peirce
mats for wrestling meets, serve as
timekeepers and referees during in-
tramurals and regular season con-
tests, and end by assisting in the
elementary basketball playoffs of
late March.
At some time during the school
year, the Key Club conducts one
assembly before the student body.
This assembly is always of interest
and importance to the students. The
club also plans, this year, to con-
duct a safety program in connection
with the school’s Driver Training
Instruction.
The Dallas Club participates in
many interclub meetings during the
year. At these meetings, plans are
made for Division Fifteen as a
whole, in order to promote closer
ties between clubs and schools.
Many new friends are made in this
manner.
All during the year, members
work diligently and faithfully in
preparing a club scrapbook to enter
at the state convention. This scrap-
book has merited honorable men-
tion several times.
New officers are nominated and
elected in March. They work along
with past officers in order to become
accustomed to Key Club business
and transactions.
Spring finds the Key Club, unlike
the hibernating bear, wide awake
and busy. Projects continue
through spring, into summer, and
right again into the following
school year with no regard for
summer vacation. The club helps
the Kiwanians conduct the annual
Pancake Festival in mid-April.
Many members take an active part
in their churchs’ Sunrise Service.
