THE ENNIS KEY CLUB has decorated a Christmas tree to
add to the holiday mood of High School Students. The tree
donated by the 1968-1969 Key Club, was erected in its tradi-
tional space in front of the library to remind students of this
festive occasion. Pictured are some of the Key Clubbers and
their dates who helped decorate the tree. Left to right are
Bobby Novotny, Pattie Roberts, Jackie Poff, James Hill, Steve
Braddock, Jan Dauphin, Edwin Davis, Richard Lee Clark and
